Modern cyberattacks often involve attackers using legitimate tools and credentials, making traditional security systems like SIEM and EDR ineffective. This 'living-off-the-land' technique allows attackers to remain undetected for extended periods, with the average cloud breach dwell time now at 26 days. A novel approach involves using honeytokens, which are fake credentials planted in an environment; if these tokens are accessed, it triggers an immediate and unambiguous alert, allowing for rapid incident response before significant damage occurs.

Espresso Labs is developing an AI-powered system called the "AI Barista" to address the cybersecurity challenges faced by small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). The system aims to move beyond mere threat detection to automated execution and remediation, tackling the complexity and fragmentation of current security tools. By acting as an autonomous operator, the AI Barista will handle tasks like quarantining threats and verifying security controls, thereby reducing the burden on overstretched IT personnel and improving overall security outcomes for SMBs.
