From Shadow APIs to Shadow AI: How the API Threat Model Is Expanding Faster Than Most Defenses

Feb 13, 2026 By Wallarm In Wallarm
The shadow technology problem is getting worse. Over the past few years, organizations have scaled microservices, cloud-native apps, and partner integrations faster than corporate governance models could keep up, resulting in undocumented or shadow APIs. We’re now seeing this pattern all over again with AI systems. And, even worse, AI introduces non-deterministic behavior, autonomous actions, and machine-to-machine decision-making. Put simply, shadow AI is much, much riskier than shadow APIs.

Why Every Website Needs a Reliable URL Checker

Why Every Website Needs a Reliable URL Checker

Feb 13, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
Links are the connective tissue of the web. They guide users to content, help search engines understand structure and distribute authority across pages. When links fail, everything from user trust to search visibility can suffer. This is where a URL checker becomes essential. A URL checker is more than a quick "does this page load?" tool. At its most basic level, it confirms whether a URL resolves successfully. At a deeper level, it reveals status codes, redirect chains, DNS issues and server errors that aren't obvious from simply clicking a link.

The best risk management software for 2026

Feb 12, 2026 By Vanta In Vanta
For many organizations, risk management is still stuck in the past—reliant on spreadsheets, manual reviews, and static registers that go stale shortly after they’re created. Without clear ownership or automation, treatment plans linger, and accountability slips. Risks remain fragmented across departments, disconnected from business impact and board visibility. ‍ At the same time, emerging threats are evolving faster than ever.

Feb 12, 2026 By The Apono Team In Apono
In 2026, you’re not just managing clusters and pipelines; you are managing the risk associated with the data flowing through them. As environments become decentralized and agentic, traditional, static data governance policies have morphed from inefficient to a security liability. The financial stakes of data governance failures have reached an all-time high. The average cost of a data breach in the United States has reached $10.22 million.

A Match Made in Heaven: How Valentine's Day Fuels Seasonal Phishing Attacks

Feb 12, 2026 By Emma Stevens In BitSight
Valentine’s Day runs on emotion. Surprise, urgency, curiosity, trust, love. For threat actors, that combination is hard to beat. Every year in mid-February, security teams see the same pattern.

Feb 12, 2026 By Netwrix Team In Netwrix
What data are your employees feeding into unapproved AI tools? If you can't answer that question, then you might have shadow AI security risks that you don't know about. The Netwrix Cybersecurity Trends Report 2025 found that 37% of organizations have already had to adjust their security strategies due to AI-driven threats, while 30% haven't started AI implementation at all. That gap between how fast AI threats are evolving and how slowly organizations are responding is where shadow AI thrives.

Teams sprawl: Managing Microsoft Teams proliferation

Feb 12, 2026 By Netwrix Team In Netwrix
Teams sprawl is one of the most overlooked security risks in Microsoft 365 environments. When all your employees can create teams on demand, without approval, naming conventions, or expiration policies, the result is hundreds of ungoverned workspaces with no clear ownership, inconsistent naming, and scattered data. That governance gap creates measurable risk.
