Glasswing Secured the Code. The Rest of Your Stack Is Still on You
Summary
The article highlights the growing challenge of managing security across an organization's entire technology stack, beyond just code. It points out that forgotten integrations, shadow IT, SaaS applications, and increasingly, shadow AI and agents, create significant attack surfaces that threat actors can exploit without needing advanced AI capabilities.
IFF Assessment
The proliferation of unmanaged and unknown assets (shadow IT, shadow AI, integrations) significantly expands the attack surface, making it harder for defenders to maintain comprehensive security.
Defender Context
Defenders must focus on gaining visibility and control over all connected systems and applications, including shadow IT and emerging AI agents. This requires robust asset management and security monitoring to identify and mitigate risks associated with unmanaged or forgotten components.
