Positive Technologies to Explore AI Attacks and Autonomous SOC Advances at PSD 2026

Positive Technologies will host Positive Security Day 2026 in Moscow on October 15-16, focusing on how artificial intelligence is reshaping cybersecurity. The event will highlight new product developments in MaxPatrol O2 and the company's push toward an autonomous SOC. Attendees will examine Security Lakehouse as a method for handling large volumes of security data to train models. Practical sessions will allow participants to attack AI technologies, investigate incidents, and disassemble products with engineers. The business program will address how organizations can automate security without creating new risks that require manual explanations after incidents. The conference takes place at the Mechta complex in Gorky Park and offers both in-person and online participation.

Positive Technologies will hold its annual Positive Security Day 2026 conference in Moscow on 15-16 October, with a central focus on the transformation of cybersecurity driven by artificial intelligence.

The company plans to present updates to its MaxPatrol O2 platform and outline progress toward an autonomous SOC. A new approach called Security Lakehouse will also be introduced as a way to manage large volumes of security data and prepare them for model training.

Additional announcements will cover enhancements to MaxPatrol Endpoint Security for device protection and the continued development of PT X, a comprehensive protection model that includes accountability for outcomes.

Practical activities will include hands-on zones and competitions where participants can attack AI technologies, investigate incidents, test products, and examine their internal workings alongside engineers. A dedicated area will showcase ML and AI developments ranging from deployed solutions to ongoing experiments.

The business track will bring together customers, partners, and company leadership to discuss the impact of AI on business risks and the economics of protection, with emphasis on automating security processes without creating additional post-incident explanation burdens.

The event runs from 10:00 each day at the Mechta complex in Gorky Park. Registration and the full program are available on the conference website for both in-person and online attendance.

Logical Argument Claims Full Alignment of Superintelligent AGI Is Fundamentally Impossible

A detailed analysis argues that the AI alignment problem cannot be solved for systems exceeding human cognitive capabilities. The paper presents a formal proof showing that any control mechanism created by humans will inevitably be circumvented by a more intelligent agent. It draws on foundational theorems from logic and cybernetics to support the conclusion that alignment is not an engineering challenge but a logical impossibility. Recent 2025-2026 research papers reach similar conclusions using computability theory and diagonal arguments. The work concludes that the only way to guarantee alignment is to avoid creating superintelligence altogether. All proposed restrictions are described as temporary delays rather than permanent solutions.

Claude Account Bans Linked to IP Reputation, Device Environment and Payment Channels, But No Confirmed Formula

Discussions on the Chinese forum NodeSeek have highlighted observations from a user who reported bans on more than twenty paid Claude accounts. The user identified IP address reputation, device environment traces, and payment processor history as the main factors potentially triggering blocks by Anthropic. However, the original post does not present a unified scoring system or prove specific penalties for using Linux, browser-only access, or the Fable model. High query volume is described mainly as a rate-limit issue rather than an automatic account ban trigger. Community members remain divided, with some confirming isolated observations while others label the conclusions speculative and share contradictory experiences. No universal method to avoid blocks has emerged from the discussion.

Local LLMs in AppSec: What Open Tools and Models Can Handle in Application Security

The article examines how local large language models can be integrated into application security workflows without relying on cloud subscriptions. It traces the evolution from llama.cpp in 2023 through agentic frameworks like PentAGI and Strix in 2025-2026. Teams can now run models on local hardware, connect them to code analyzers such as Semgrep, and delegate specific tasks like vulnerability path reconstruction or multi-step application testing. The piece highlights practical scenarios including static code review, dynamic testing with browser and terminal agents, and security evaluation of embedded AI assistants using tools like Garak and PyRIT. It stresses the importance of task decomposition, context management, and verification of model outputs to avoid misleading results. Hardware performance, model selection, and custom agent configurations are presented as key factors for successful adoption.
