How Claude + MCP + Vanta could help auditors

At Vanta, we’re always looking to experiment, learn, and stay at the forefront of AI. Recently, we built a proof of concept to explore how auditors could interact more effectively with audits and the data within them. Our experiment used Anthropic’s Claude, the open source MCP (Model Context Protocol), and Vanta’s API to enable users to ask deeper questions of Vanta’s compliance data. ‍ ‍

Dynamic IPs Are Breaking Security - Here's How to Fix It

Organizations rely on stable systems to run their operations. Unfortunately, the IP addresses representing these systems can change frequently. This is especially challenging for cybersecurity, where identifying and tracking assets by IP address is crucial. Dynamic IP management is the practice of identifying, tracking, and contextualizing systems that use dynamic IPs to ensure accurate visibility, reduce noise, and maintain a continuous security posture.
