Much of the industry conversation around AI focuses on autonomy and fully automated response. That focus skips the most reliable efficiency gains available right now.

Edge Security Is Not Enough: Why Agentic AI Moves the Risk Inside Your APIs

For the last twenty years, cybersecurity has been built around the edge: the belief that threats come from the outside, and that firewalls, WAFs, and API gateways can inspect and control what enters the environment. That model worked when applications were centralized, traffic was predictable, and most interactions followed a clear pattern: a user in a browser talking to an app inside a data center. Agentic AI breaks that model.

A New Model You Haven't Heard About (GitHub Raptor Mini)

Can an under-the-radar AI tool actually build a secure, functional CRUD note-taking app from scratch?

How to Add Privacy to Your LangChain Agent in 3 Lines of Code

If you’re building with LangChain, you’re moving fast. That’s the point. Agents are pulling from tools, chaining prompts, summarizing documents, and responding to users in real time. But there’s a quiet truth many teams discover a little too late: Your agent is probably handling personal data—even if you didn’t design it to. Emails show up in prompts. Names appear in support tickets. Internal notes include phone numbers, IDs, or customer context.

No Snow Days for Security: How Reach Uses AI Agents to Find and Fix Hidden Risk

Security exposure doesn’t take a day off. Rain, snow or shine, environments keep changing. Controls drift. Configs break. Risk quietly piles up. Reach was founded to help organizations find and fix hidden risk and exposure. Traditional approaches surface issues — dashboards, alerts, findings — but stop short of actually fixing them.

Vibe check your vibe code: Adding human judgment to AI-driven development

Remember when open meant visible? When a bug in open-source code left breadcrumbs you could audit? When you could trace commits, contributors, timestamps, even heated 2:13 a.m. debates on tabs versus spaces? That kind of openness created confidence in the code and made it possible to hold contributors accountable when issues arose. Today, as AI changes how code is created and shared, those familiar markers of trust and transparency are becoming harder to find.

The Hidden Costs of Building Your Own Data Masking tool

Building an in-house data masking tool often starts as a practical decision. The logic feels sound. Your team understands the data, knows the systems, and can tailor masking logic exactly to your needs. On the surface, it looks like a short engineering project that saves licensing costs and avoids external dependencies. What we’ve learned, after observing many organizations take this path, is that the hidden costs of building your own data masking solution rarely appear during the initial build.

Why Preserving Data Structure Matters in De-Identification APIs

When it comes to data masking or de-identification, one often-overlooked detail is the importance of preserving the original data structure. While it might seem harmless to normalize extra spaces or convert unique newline characters into a standard format, these subtle changes can actually have a significant impact on downstream processing. Let’s explore why this matters, with a couple of concrete examples.

Expert Roundup -How to Prepare for AI Data Processing Under GDPR?

Data Leakage: AI's Plumbing Problem

Sensitive information disclosure ranks on the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, and for good reason. When AI-powered applications inadvertently expose private data like personally identifiable information (PII), financial records, health information, API keys, or proprietary business intelligence, the consequences cascade quickly: regulatory violations, competitive disadvantage, and shattered user trust.

It's 2 AM. Do You Know Which AIs Your MCP Server Is Talking To?

When Anthropic dropped the Model Context Protocol (MCP) in late 2024, it felt like the missing puzzle piece for AI tooling: a standard way for Large Language Models (LLMs) to talk to data sources, APIs, and pretty much anything else you can think of. Think of it as a USB-C port for AI, as the protocol’s creators like to say. But like most shiny new standards, the devil’s in the details.

Why AI Privacy is a Competitive Advantage (Not Just Compliance)

In most startups building or using AI, privacy often gets treated like a checkbox that legal or security will “handle later.” That mindset quietly kills deals, scares off enterprise buyers, and limits your access to the very data your models need. Here is the truth that more founders and CTOs are embracing. Privacy makes your product easier to buy, models better to train, and business more valuable.

AI at the inflection point: Reclaiming human creativity and productivity

Artificial intelligence is changing how businesses work and compete. In every corner of the market, organizations expect more productivity. The question facing today’s business leaders is no longer whether to embrace artificial intelligence but how to harness its full potential to drive meaningful and sustainable transformation.

API Security for AI Agents: What CISOs Need to See, Govern, and Protect

AI agents are moving into every part of the business, and each one runs on APIs. Salt Security Co-Founder and COO Michael Nicosia and CMO Michael Callahan walk through what that shift means for security leaders. A single AI agent can generate thousands of API calls, and once agents start talking to each other through MCP servers and agent-to-agent protocols, the number climbs into the millions. That growth widens the attack surface and turns prompt injection into a common entry point.

The role of credentials in the AI espionage campaign reported by Anthropic

Anthropic recently announced that the company has disrupted the first reported AI-orchestrated cyber espionage campaign. This attack used Claude Code to automate many steps, with AI handling up to 90% of the tasks, including web searches and the autonomous writing of exploit code. The attackers bypassed Claude’s guardrails by breaking each step into small tasks and role-playing as a red team member.

Transforming AI Risk Awareness Into Measurable AI Governance

Only a few years ago, after more than a decade of debate over how cybersecurity incidents affect the financial stability of public companies, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) finally made cyber risk disclosure a formal requirement. The intent was to bring transparency and accountability to a category of risk that had long been treated as technical rather than financial. Now, albeit voluntarily, AI has entered that same conversation, but the speed of its arrival has been remarkable.

The Autonomous Shield: Cybersecurity in the Age of Automation and AI

As businesses adapt to an ever-evolving threat and regulatory landscape, it is widely accepted that the next big challenge lies in scaling cybersecurity to keep pace. In fact, organizations have never experienced the volume, velocity, and severity of attacks that we witnessed in 2024 and are continuing to see in 2025.

No Fluff, Just Real-World Threats This isn’t your typical marketing webinar. We cover what Agentic AI actually looks like in production, how MCP servers work to broker instructions, and what kind of new threats are emerging. Agentic AI isn’t coming. It’s already here. Autonomous agents are now operating in production environments, reasoning, remembering, and taking real actions across your systems. They’re not just generating content. They’re triggering workflows, modifying records, and making decisions. And they’re doing it over APIs.

Securing AI Agents: How to See MCP Servers and A2A Traffic with Salt Security

AI agents have moved past conversation into action. They book transactions, pull sensitive data, and chain tools together through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) traffic. Every one of those actions runs on APIs, and that connective tissue is where the risk sits. Salt Security Co-Founder and CEO Roey Eliyahu and VP of Product Strategy Nick Rago walk through the risks in the agentic action layer and show what Salt does about them.

You Can't Have AI Security Without API Security: The Agentic Action Layer

AI agents run on APIs, and that is where most security programs have a gap. Salt Security Co-Founder and COO Michael Nicosia and CMO Michael Callahan explain why you cannot secure AI without securing the APIs underneath it. An AI agent uses an LLM to reason and an MCP server to broker calls out to other systems, and every one of those calls is an API interaction. Deploy one agent and the traffic multiplies. Deploy hundreds, and the internal east-west traffic climbs to several times what a pre-AI environment carried.

Secure Your AI Workflows with Protecto's Data Masking API #startup #n8n

But behind the innovation lies a long list of risks that enterprises cannot afford to ignore.

Building Security With Customers, Not For Them - Jay Wilson x Garrett Hamilton | Insurity Case Study

Partnership over Procurement Why true collaboration between vendors and security teams is still rare — not because the intent isn’t there, but because most engagements stop at feature checklists. The alternative is more interesting: build together, solve together, and create solutions that fit how teams actually work rather than how tools assume they work. This mindset drove our work with Insurity — a real example of what happens when a security team engages deeply instead of treating tooling as a finished product.

Master Video Production: Leveraging AI for Efficient Workflows

In today's rapidly changing industry of video production, being ahead of the curve requires embracing new ideas which is why Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a major force in the game.

If you're a content creator, filmmaker, or video editor, knowing the best ways to use AI will significantly improve your workflow as well as enhance the production quality.

Automation Without Risks: Staying Secure with AI Browsers

Let's keep this simple. Most people don't get "hacked" in a dramatic movie way: they are not attacked by a team of professional geniuses aiming for millions of dollars in profits. They lose access to accounts, get locked out of work platforms, or leak something sensitive because of small, boring mistakes: a rushed click, reused password, and a browser stuffed with old logins. That's the reality.

Agentic AI Security: The Emerging Fourth Pillar of Cybersecurity

For decades, cybersecurity has been organized around three dominant pillars: endpoint security, network security, and cloud security. These domains have shaped technology categories, vendor ecosystems, and enterprise budgets. They have matured into multi-billion-dollar markets, each responding to successive waves of digital transformation. However, a tectonic shift is underway.

New AMOS Infection Vector Highlights Risks around AI Adoption

During a recent investigation into AMOS InfoStealer, Kroll Threat Intelligence Team has discovered a troubling new delivery vector that leverages the growing trust users place in AI tools.

How strategic CISOs turn AI risks into competitive advantages

As the flurry of excitement over fresh AI innovation begins to fade, risk leaders, heads of GRC and CISOs have a new challenge to tackle. Regulators, customers, and boards are all asking harder questions about how AI is used, secured, and audited. For CISOs, AI governance is now a board-level expectation. Some organizations will be able to confidently show their measured and documented approach to AI governance.

Information Overload to Strategic Insights: How Egnyte's Deep Research Agent Transforms Enterprise Knowledge Discovery

Every day, professionals and knowledge workers lose hours digging through files, reports, and systems. The information is out there, but it’s buried. Instead of shaping strategy, people get stuck chasing down data. Even with strong IT, time spent searching has only grown since 2002, now averaging 1.8 hours a day, according to a McKinsey study. Think about it: They all need clarity fast. But, what they get is fragments spread across disconnected sources and hours of searching.

Overcoming the Challenges and Limitations of Data Tokenization

Tokenization replaces sensitive data with non-sensitive stand-ins called tokens. The mapping between the token and the original value sits in a secure service or vault. If attackers steal a database full of tokens, the stolen data has little value. This is why tokenization is popular for payment card industry (PCI) workloads, customer PII, and healthcare records. Yet tokenization is not magic. Like any control, it has weak points and practical limits. Teams often learn about those limits the hard way.

Third-Party Vulnerability: What the Mixpanel Incident Means for Millions of ChatGPT and API Users

In late November 2025, developers and API users of ChatGPT and OpenAI’s platform received a note that felt personal: an alert about a data exposure linked not to OpenAI’s own servers but to a third-party analytics vendor. That vendor was Mixpanel.

The latest version of WormGPT offers lifetime access for $220, or a monthly fee of $50.

AI vs Security Architects - Augmentation, Not Replacement

Are AI systems replacing security roles? Maybe not the way most people assume. AI isn't eliminating architects — it's augmenting them. Architects sit at the strategic layer: influence, prioritization, long-term posture. AI’s power isn’t replacing that judgment — it’s continuously surfacing what matters, validating configurations, and helping teams scale impact without hiring “more architects.” "If I say something should be done, I need a way to know whether it was done correctly — and continuously.".

We Built Protecto SaaS Because $50K/Month Privacy Tools Didn't Make Sense for Startups

Six months ago, we encountered a problem with no clear solution. We were building an AI agent inside a startup. When customer conversations were flowing in, we started looking for privacy tools that could keep up. Everything we found fell into one of three buckets: Somewhere in the middle of this, we caught ourselves looking for a simple, affordable way to mask data before it hits AI systems.

LLMs, Quantum Computing, and the Top Challenges for CISOs in 2026

Cybersecurity in 2026 is entering its most transformative and volatile phase yet. For CISOs, the landscape is no longer defined only by web, network, and cloud threats.

Indirect Prompt Injection Attacks: A Lurking Risk to AI Systems

The rapid adoption of AI has introduced a new, semantic attack vector that many organizations are ill-prepared to defend against: prompt injection. While many security teams understand the threat of direct prompt injection attacks against AI agents developed by their organizations, another more subtle threat lurks in the shadows: indirect prompt injection attacks.

Why AI Security Requires Context: Introducing Issues & the Correlation Agent

Data is never the problem. Security teams rarely complain about having too much of it. The real danger comes from data that sits unconnected and unexplained. What teams actually need is data that is actionable and converges into meaning. Data that cuts deeper than surface level signals. Data that reveals what is unfolding and what needs to happen next.

Safe Harbor: An Open Source "Abort Mission" Button for Your AI Agent

AI agents are increasingly connecting to more systems and workflows. They read structured data, follow multi-step instructions, and can reach deep into applications and developer environments. The same capabilities that make them powerful also create new opportunities for attackers. As Zenity Labs continued to study these emerging attack classes, we noticed a pattern starting to appear.

Your Browser is Becoming an Agent. Zenity Keeps It From Becoming a Threat.

Agentic browsers are quickly becoming part of everyday work. Tools like ATLAS, Comet, and Dia can read web content, navigate SaaS tools, interpret instructions, and act on behalf of a user. They promise faster execution and higher productivity but they also introduce new risks that traditional security tools are not designed to see. As these browser-based agents spread across both managed and unmanaged devices, the enterprise attack surface grows in ways that most teams can’t quantify.

SOAR in the AI era: How SAP uses intelligent workflows to build an AI SOC

SOAR was created to help security teams work faster and more consistently by automating and orchestrating core security operations. It has always had to adapt to new and evolving technologies, but our current AI era has brought about a turning point. As cloud environments scale, manual playbooks can’t keep up. Now, it’s not enough to automate. We need systems that can understand the context they’re running in and adapt accordingly.

AI in IAM: How much value is it really providing?

Let’s face it, AI is everywhere now. It has moved from novelty to necessity, reshaping the way we work, make decisions and secure our organizations. It guides how we plan trips, shop for essentials and discover information – but one of its most profound impacts is happening across enterprise environments.

Best Practices for Implementing Data Tokenization

Data is no longer confined to a few clean relational systems. It now flows through microservices, data lakes, event streams, vector databases, and LLM pipelines. Sensitive information spreads quickly, and once it reaches ungoverned surfaces—logs, analytics exports, embeddings—it becomes extremely painful to unwind. Tokenization is one of the few controls that can both minimize data exposure and preserve business functionality.

The Mythical 1+1=3 Model in Cybersecurity

The mythical 1+1=3 model in security? It happens when the tools you already own stop working in isolation — and start working as a system. Jay Wilson and Garrett Hamilton dig into why Reach’s platform approach matters: not just enhancing individual controls, but creating compounding value across identity, endpoint, email, and network. When visibility, configuration, and enforcement align, the outcome isn’t incremental — it’s exponential.

The AI Answering Service Wake Up Call for Modern Businesses

Here is the 4 a.m. question almost no owner says out loud. What actually happens when a real customer calls your business and you do not pick up? You assume it is not that bad and maybe they leave a voicemail. You think maybe they call back or your AI answering service catches it next time. The truth from the inside is uglier and I should know because I helped build the systems that make those calls disappear. I have watched good businesses bleed out through their phone lines while everyone stares at the wrong metrics.

Today, your "edge" isn't just where users connect to your apps; it's where AI agents connect to your data.

Is AI taking entry-level jobs a good thing? #cybersecurity #ai #podcast

There's growing concern that AI automation is removing the hands-on experience junior analysts need to develop into senior defenders. In this Intel Chat, Matt Bromiley and Chris Luft challenge that assumption. Matt breaks down why the traditional entry-level path of endless log review and alert triage was never the best training ground to begin with. Log detection, alert triage, and drift detection are often cited as how defenders learn the trade. But most analysts never had time to get to drift detection because they were buried in repetitive work.

Stop Gambling on Compliance: Why Near100% Recall Is the Only Standard for AI Data

This milestone reflects the problem we’re focused on solving: most organizations don’t lack tools—they lack visibility into how those tools are actually deployed. By exposing misconfigurations, shallow deployments, and missing protections, Reach helps teams fix the risks that matter most before they become incidents.

Types of Data Tokenization: Methods & Use Cases Explained

Tokenization isn’t new, but 2025 forced everyone to rethink it. You’ve got AI pipelines ingesting messy text, microservices flinging data around like confetti, and regulators asking for deletion receipts like they’re Starbucks orders. Most companies slap together a regex mask and call it “privacy.” Spoiler: it isn’t. Real data protection often hinges on choosing the right type of tokenization for the job.

AI Browsers: A Security Nightmare Flipping the Board on Decades of Security Progress

Modern browsers are among the most hardened mass consumer applications that we have access to. Decades of work have produced strict isolation between sites, safer defaults for cookies, strong TLS enforcement, controlled permissions, and a user experience that steers people away from phishing and fraud. The result is a trustworthy gatekeeper that keeps untrusted sites and attacker payloads confined to their own sandboxes.

CrowdStrike Leverages NVIDIA Nemotron in Amazon Bedrock to Advance Agentic Security

Adversaries are increasingly adopting AI technology to make their cyber operations faster, more efficient, and harder to detect. To stay ahead, defenders need intelligent systems capable of reasoning and acting with the same speed and accuracy as the adversary. CrowdStrike empowers defenders with the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, our agentic security platform that is fueled by AI built and governed by experts who understand the mission of defense.

Say Hello to Ask Pepper AI: Turning API Security into a Conversation

In the world of cybersecurity, we have a "data" problem. We have more of it than ever before, more logs, more alerts, and definitely more APIs. But recently, this challenge has compounded. The rise of Agentic AI and Model Context Protocols (MCPs) has exploded the number of machine-to-machine connections in our environments. These agents spin up new pathways and access data in ways that are often invisible to traditional monitoring.

Navigating AI risks: understanding and mitigating prompt injection

AI is becoming a routine part of technical operations. Teams use models to support ticket triage, incident routing, knowledge retrieval, code analysis, and customer interactions. As these agents move closer to production workflows, the conversation about security becomes much more important. One of the most persistent and widely misunderstood issues is prompt injection. It is not a vulnerability that can be fully patched or trained away.

This is a real test of how far AI can go in building usable software.

Secure your code at scale with AI-driven vulnerability management

As development teams adopt generative AI at an unprecedented pace, security teams face an evolving set of challenges in securing the software development life cycle. The increasing speed and scale of code changes make it more difficult for organizations to manage risk effectively. Legacy scanners often fail to keep up, returning slow results and noisy alerts that increase remediation time and leave organizations exposed to potential breaches.

Zero Trust That Actually Works: How Reach Maps NIST & CISA Frameworks Into Real Security Gains
