Security operations have never been more complex. Analysts face more alerts, more tools, and more pressure to make the right decision at the right moment. The work feels less like running a security program and more like trying to keep an orchestra in sync while each musician plays from a different sheet of music. This is the challenge Sam was created to solve. Sam, the Securonix AI SOC Analyst, acts like a skilled conductor guiding a symphony.

Most people don’t manage their personal finances by spending every dollar the same way. You don’t pay rent, groceries, retirement savings, and entertainment out of one undifferentiated bucket. You allocate intentionally covering daily necessities, protecting the future, and investing in things that improve quality of life. Yet that’s exactly how traditional SIEM pricing works. Every log costs the same. Every gigabyte is treated equally.

Across Europe and beyond, regulatory frameworks are reshaping how and where organizations manage data. These laws establish enforceable standards for data sovereignty, data governance, and data privacy that directly influence cloud architecture, security strategy, and AI innovation. Without these regulations, you run the risk of these organizational consequences: Data management shouldn’t be considered as only a task for IT. It’s a board-level priority.

Access control defines who can access data and systems across an IT environment and under what conditions. Common models include DAC, MAC, RBAC, and ABAC, each supporting different governance and risk requirements. Strong access control depends on MFA, least-privilege enforcement, continuous audits, and clear visibility into sensitive data.

CyberArk founder and executive chairman Udi Mokady returns to Security Matters at a transformational moment—now as part of Palo Alto Networks, following the acquisition’s close on February 11. In this far‑reaching conversation, Udi and host David Puner explore why identity has become the attack vector for modern enterprises, driven by an unprecedented surge in human, machine and AI‑powered identities that attackers increasingly exploit.

AI accelerates detection, but human analysts deliver context, judgement and strategic insight. In modern cybersecurity, the real advantage lies in combining both.

Keeper’s passkey management works by letting you create, store and use passkeys directly from your Keeper Vault so you can sign in with biometric or device-based authentication instead of traditional passwords. By removing shared secrets and replacing them with cryptographic credentials tied to your device, Keeper makes signing in faster, more secure and resistant to phishing attacks.

Google Drive is the most popular cloud storage solution in the market with over 2 billion users worldwide. Despite this, due to recent concerns and more interest in online privacy, more people are asking is Google Drive safe for their files, photos, and videos. Of course, Google Drive and Google One offer advanced security and privacy features, but it falls short in privacy.
