This week in cybersecurity from the editors at Cybercrime Magazine
Sausalito, Calif. – Sep. 1, 2026
When we were at Black Hat USA 2026 with Mastercard, Cybercrime Magazine met Levi Gundert, Chief Security & Intelligence Officer at Recorded Future, the world’s largest pure-play threat intelligence company.
“We’re all grappling with cyberattacks,” says Gundert. The velocity is the biggest issue that defenders are now facing. Right now is the time that defenders really need to think about how they’re going to use AI on the defensive side. We have to think the way that attackers think.”
Recorded Future delivers comprehensive, real-time, and AI-driven threat intelligence to over 1,900 customers across the globe.
Mastercard’s mammoth $2.65 billion acquisition of Recorded Future from Insight Partners was finalized in Dec. 2024. Recorded Future also has an editorial unit, The Record, which publishes cybersecurity news.
