Modern software delivery depends on speed, scale, and automation. CI/CD pipelines sit at the center of it all. An efficient CI/CD pipeline empowers your teams to develop features faster, respond to market demands quickly, and stay competitive in a crowded market landscape. But with that speed comes risk. What makes CI/CD pipeline security so critical is the level of access these systems have. They interact with your source code, cloud infrastructure, and deployment environments with elevated permissions.

Established in 1996, Esse Health was the product of a merger of two physician-led institutions. It soon emerged as a leading independent physician group in the larger St. Louis area, operating in more than 50 locations. Esse Health has 100 doctors specializing in primary and specialty care. Unlike other corporate healthcare systems, Esse Health maintains a physician-owned and managed system. It prioritizes a collaborative approach where patients and doctors partner to make care-based decisions.

The rise of AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Midjourney, and Copilot is reshaping workplaces, with employees adopting these tools to boost productivity and innovation. However, this rapid adoption often occurs without IT oversight, creating Shadow AI - a growing challenge for businesses.

Security teams don’t need another dashboard screaming about low-priority bugs. They need to know what’s important, what’s already fixed, and what’s still a ticking time bomb. That’s where we’re headed at Astra. This summer, we’ve made several updates that do exactly that. Delta scans that stop pointing at the same issues. MFA protection where it actually matters. Cloud rescans that are faster and smarter.

Application recovery directly impacts business success when running cloud-native environments with Kubernetes, OpenStack, and OpenShift platforms. A well-designed application recovery plan helps organizations prevent extended outages, protect critical data, and maintain operational stability.

Audits are hard enough. Chasing down duplicate evidence across systems shouldn’t be part of the process. We’re excited to announce we’ve joined Fieldguide’s open ecosystem, the industry-leading AI-powered platform built for top global CPA firms and enterprise-focused audit providers. ‍ This integration is designed to reduce friction, eliminate redundant work, and help both companies and auditors complete reviews more efficiently with streamlined communications.

In 2010, the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) developed a set of prioritised threat mitigation strategies to provide cybersecurity guidance to government agencies and organisations. Over time, eight of those strategies proved to be the most effective and were formalised into the Essential Eight (E8) framework, officially published in 2017.

A recent survey and report cosponsored by Tanium and conducted by the Enterprise Strategy Group, now part of Omdia, uncovered data that some may find surprising—perhaps even alarming.

Modern websites have become increasingly reliant on third-party applications and open source tools to deliver functionality and enhance the user experience. However, this reliance introduces both security and privacy risks, as external code can act as a vector for sophisticated attacks, such as Magecart and web skimming. Without visibility into these apps and tools, organizations are left vulnerable to undetected threats, unauthorized data access, and regulatory violations.

Researchers at Netcraft warn that AI-generated search engine summaries are suggesting phishing sites when users ask them to find legitimate login pages. The researchers tested popular AI models, asking them for the login pages of fifty major brands, and found that the models provided the wrong sites 34% of the time. "In many cases, users see AI-generated content before (or instead of) traditional search results—and often without even needing to log in," the researchers explain.
