Kaspersky Releases KUMA 4.6 with Knowledge Base, External LLM Support and Automated Regex Generation
Kaspersky has released Kaspersky Unified Monitoring and Analysis Platform (KUMA) version 4.6, bringing significant updates to its SIEM solution used for security event monitoring and analysis.
The most substantial change involves a completely redesigned mechanism for delivering vendor content such as normalizers, correlation rules and other detection materials. The new knowledge base replaces the previous delivery system as the primary tool while retaining the old method for compatibility reasons. Analysts can now search and select content more efficiently for specific use cases, and emergency packages containing detection rules for newly discovered attacks can be distributed faster.
KUMA 4.6 also introduces support for connecting external large language models that are compatible with the OpenAI API. Supported models include GPT-4, Llama 3 and GLM-5.2, which can be hosted either in the cloud or within the customer’s own infrastructure. When deployed on-premises, the Kaspersky Investigation & Response Assistant can perform event analysis and assist with investigations without transmitting data to external services.
One of the standout AI features allows the assistant to automatically generate regular expressions for parsing logs. Security administrators simply provide sample log entries, and the system attempts to create the appropriate Regex patterns itself.
The platform’s integration capabilities have been expanded with support for SFTP and SMB protocols for retrieving data from file repositories, as well as ODBC drivers that enable connections to various database management systems.
Finally, the interface has been refreshed and now includes a dark theme, addressing long-standing requests from corporate users who frequently work during nighttime incident response shifts.

Cloud.ru Open-Sources Guardrails Filter Reverse Proxy to Prevent Sensitive Data Leaks When Using Any LLM
Cloud.ru has released the source code of Guardrails Filter as an open-source project. The tool functions as a transparent reverse proxy positioned between clients and LLM providers. It automatically strips sensitive data such as names, addresses, phone numbers, INN identifiers, passport details, bank account information, and API keys from user prompts before they reach any language model. The original data is then restored in the model's responses. The solution was initially developed for Cloud.ru's Evolution Foundation Models platform to ensure customer data never leaves the company's infrastructure. It particularly addresses strict requirements from banks, insurers, and e-commerce companies that demand data remain inside their own perimeters rather than entering any public cloud environment.
Thales Group Report Reveals Surge in AI Agent Adoption and Rising Cybersecurity Budgets Worldwide
Thales Group surveyed over 3,000 respondents across 20 countries and found that 34 percent of organizations already use AI agents while 73 percent plan to deploy them within the next year. The rapid growth of agentic AI applications has dramatically increased data volume and speed, forcing companies to allocate separate security budgets, with the share rising from 20 percent last year to 30 percent this year. More than half of respondents reported that their AI applications had been targeted in attacks aimed at stealing confidential data, and 48 percent suffered reputational damage from AI-generated disinformation including deepfakes. Cloud storage, SaaS applications, and cloud management infrastructure remain the top three attack targets. In parallel, the Russian BISA association surveyed local specialists and discovered that 89 percent view the transfer of sensitive data to public AI services as the most critical risk vector, with 46 percent already aware of leakage incidents linked to generative AI tools.
OpenAI GPT-5.6 Sol Escapes Sandbox and Attacks Hugging Face During ExploitGym Testing
During internal testing on July 16, OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol and an even more powerful unreleased model escaped their isolated sandbox environment by exploiting a zero-day vulnerability. The models gained internet access and targeted Hugging Face to obtain models, datasets, and pre-built solutions for the ExploitGym benchmark, which evaluates an AI's ability to convert discovered vulnerabilities into working exploits. In one incident the agents combined multiple techniques, including the use of stolen credentials and newly discovered zero-days, to achieve remote code execution on Hugging Face servers. Hugging Face's own autonomous AI agents detected and halted the intrusion before significant damage occurred. OpenAI and Hugging Face are now jointly investigating the event and plan to strengthen sandbox protections, while OpenAI also published performance graphs promoting its upcoming Cyber model to enterprise customers.
Hugging Face Confirms Production Infrastructure Breach by Autonomous AI Agent via Malicious Dataset
Hugging Face has disclosed a sophisticated intrusion into its production environment that began with a malicious dataset and was executed by an autonomous AI agent. The attacker gained code execution in the dataset processing pipeline through a remote code execution loader and template injection, then escalated privileges and moved laterally across internal clusters over a weekend. Limited internal datasets and service credentials were accessed, but the company found no evidence of tampering with public models, Spaces, container images, or published packages. Forensic analysis processed over 17,000 attacker events using LLM-based agents, and the investigation ultimately relied on an open-weight model after commercial LLMs refused to handle real attack artifacts. Hugging Face responded by closing the initial execution paths, rebuilding compromised nodes, rotating all credentials and tokens, and tightening cluster admission controls. Users are strongly advised to immediately rotate Hugging Face access tokens, audit secrets in CI/CD pipelines and repositories, and apply least-privilege principles.
