This blog post proposes the MITRE Mapper, an AI-powered tool that improves vulnerability prioritization by automatically mapping CVEs to CWEs and MITRE ATT&CK techniques. This approach addresses major gaps in traditional scoring methods like CVSS, which often overestimate risk and lack real-world context. Early results show promising accuracy, and the tool has the potential to significantly enhance how organizations identify and prioritize the threats most relevant to them.

MacOS is no longer a small target. While Windows still dominates desktops (~70%), macOS (including OS X variants) now accounts for roughly 13% of global desktop usage, large enough to sustain a thriving Mac-focused criminal ecosystem. From 2024-2025, researchers observed an increase in macOS malware across multiple categories, like stealers, trojans, backdoors/RATs, ransomware, and aggressive adware loaders. This implies that modern Mac security should be targeted to protecting from these and detecting malicious activity on a mac to mitigate and stop data loss and breaches.
