2025 cloud security roundup: How attackers abused identities, supply chains, and AI

In 2025, many of the long-standing cloud security concerns remained, but new areas of focus also developed. The significant increase in AI adoption enabled organizations to deliver features faster but also introduced new attack surfaces, such as untrusted or unpredictable user input for large language model (LLM) applications. At the same time, long-lived credentials and vulnerabilities in third-party packages continued to expose cloud environments to risk.

OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications 2026: Key Takeaways & How to Take Action

AI agents connect to APIs, execute code, move data, and make decisions with real permissions in live production environments — introducing a new class of security risks. To help organizations stay ahead, the OWASP GenAI Security Project released the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications 2026. In this post, we’ll provide a summary of each agentic AI risk category defined by OWASP, along with actionable next steps to begin securing your agentic AI projects in 2026 and beyond.

Predictions 2026: Surge in Agentic AI for Attacks and Defenses

Over the years, cybersecurity predictions tend to all sound the same. Ransomware attacks will continue, supply-chain incidents will increase, and phishing will remain a problem. However, the tail end of 2025 and 2026 presented the cybersecurity industry with a new concern, Agentic AI. Agentic AI capabilities far exceed the basic AI concerns that were reported in the past. Its ability to make decisions and take actions on its own, without needing a human to approve every step, is a game-changer.

The Future of E-Commerce Payment Processing Worldwide

E-commerce is now central to how you sell. Still, cross-border growth often exposes familiar pain points: you juggle multiple payment providers, wrestle with unfamiliar regulations, and watch customers abandon full carts when their preferred payment method is unavailable or too slow. At the same time, you need to control fraud, reconcile data across channels, and keep checkout fast and trustworthy on every device. In this environment, choosing an international payment gateway that can handle global reach, local expectations, and rising risk is becoming one of the most important strategic decisions you make.

OWASP Agentic AI Top 10: Why It Matters and How Protecto Reduces Real-World Risk

AI agents are rapidly moving from experimentation into production across finance, healthcare, enterprise IT, and critical infrastructure. Unlike traditional applications, agents plan, reason, delegate, and act autonomously across systems and data sources. This expanded autonomy dramatically increases the security blast radius. To address this shift, OWASP released the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications.
