What happened and what to do
In an article published on October 1, 2026, eight Cisco Talos researchers describe practices to frustrate attacks at different stages. Their recommendations include decoy accounts and fake infrastructure to delay adversaries, behavioral detections, tighter control of legitimate remote-management tools, and clear limits for AI agents. The article also suggests restricting access to critical servers, alerting on unauthorized connection attempts, and monitoring changes to administrative accounts and groups.
A company can put these ideas into practice by mapping systems and privileged accounts, defining access rules, and recording configuration changes. A collection and monitoring pipeline can correlate identity, remote-access, and infrastructure events, generate behavioral alerts, and route incidents for review. For AI agents, set limits on tools, permissions, and authorized actions, with logging and clear criteria for stopping execution.
How the consultancy can help
Wendelmaques can diagnose exposure across systems and accounts, set priorities, and propose a scoped implementation of controls, event collection, alerts, and agent limits. It can also structure the operation and monitoring of these measures on the company’s own infrastructure.
