Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

Using the right tool for the job is always better. Anyone who does DIY projects around the home knows how using the right tool can dramatically make the job you are doing far easier. Use the wrong tool, and that task suddenly becomes a burdensome nightmare. And after over 38 years in cybersecurity, I know that applies to cyber defense strategies, but I add one more axiom: Use the dumber, faster thing first for best results. Dumber things are usually faster at blocking a large number of things.

We’re excited to announce the launch of our MCP server for Apono administrators — giving security and DevOps teams the ability to surface complex access data instantly, without the endless API queries, spreadsheets, or manual digging that slows everyone down. Admins are the guardians of access. But when they need answers like “Which users are included in this access flow?” or “Who has access to production?”, getting that data today can take hours.

Generative AI is rapidly transforming the way we work. The large language models (LLMs) that power tools like ChatGPT and Claude are immensely powerful, capable of providing us with research data, detailed insights, and even deep analysis of documents and data sets, all performed through simple, text-based prompts. However, these prompts have unfortunate side effects for the IT professionals assigned to protect sensitive and proprietary data from cyber attacks.
