One issue we keep hearing from insurance underwriters and portfolio managers is some version of the same question: how do you price a risk that can change between bind and the very next day? The steady stream of headlines about Claude Mythos is the latest reason why this question comes up, but it isn’t really all about Mythos. Frontier AI is collapsing the gap between vulnerability disclosure and weaponized exploit, and the numbers are no longer subtle.

Zero Trust was built to fix an older assumption: if you were inside the network, you were trusted. Then, Cloud, SaaS and remote work broke that, so security moved toward identity, device checks, MFA, least privilege, and continuous verification. But now, with agents, the messy bit starts after access. The agent reads a prompt, pulls context, chooses a tool, calls an API, and may trigger a workflow. The login tells you the agent is “trusted”.

It's 4 p.m. and a client calls. It's an employee's last day, and you need to make sure they no longer have access to company environments, applications, systems, sensitive information—or even the corporate laptop. You remove VPN access. Then remote desktop access. Then access to applications and internal systems. Multiple locations, multiple consoles, and it only takes missing one of them to leave a door open. Now multiply that by the number of clients you manage.

The deciding factor now is whether a solution can reduce risk, fit the environment, and make the team more effective.

Credential abuse is the common vector in 13% of data breaches. Cybercriminals can gain access to sensitive organizational data through weak, stolen, or reused passwords belonging to employees or customers. Single sign-on (SSO) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) are industry-standard solutions for addressing these issues, and they can help to mitigate security threats. But external Jira Service Management (JSM) customers often authenticate differently.

Every year, KnowBe4 analyzes millions of simulated phishing tests to measure one thing: how likely is your workforce to fall for a phishing attack? The results, published in the 2026 Phishing by Industry Benchmarking Report, paint a clear picture of where human risk concentrates — and what organizations can do about it. Here are the key findings security leaders need to know.

When we think about email security, our minds almost always jump to the inbound threats: the sophisticated phishing lures, the AI-generated business email compromise (BEC) attacks, and the malicious attachments knocking at the perimeter. But there is a silent, internal crisis happening on the way out of your organization. And chances are, you’re flying completely blind to it.
