AI guardrails are structured safeguards, whether technical, security or ethical, which are designed to guide AI systems so they operate safely, responsibly, and within intended boundaries. Much like highway guardrails that prevent vehicles from veering off course, these measures ensure AI remains aligned with organizational policies, regulations, and ethical values.

The debate over data sovereignty spurred by the U.S. CLOUD Act is intensifying.

Global Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure spending is projected to surpass $200 billion by 2028, according to research from the International Data Corporation (IDC). As organizations rapidly deploy more complex AI systems, the demand for high-performance infrastructure, like Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and AI accelerators, is surging. This growth exponentially increases computing power, energy consumption and data exchange across hybrid and cloud environments.

Now is the time to modernize your security stack, including client-side protections many current tools ignore.

Ransomware attacks increased by 63% year-over-year in the second quarter of 2025, with a total of 276 publicly disclosed incidents, according to a new report from BlackFog.

Fake apps are the latest evolution of brand impersonation, and they’re proving just as dangerous as phishing sites. Fraudsters clone legitimate mobile apps, publish them on official app stores, and trick users into entering credentials — which are then reused in the real app before anyone notices. Given that over 60% of web traffic is now mobile, this form of phishing-driven credential reuse has become one of the top blind spots in mobile fraud defense.

This week marks a milestone in the evolution of mobile endpoint security. At a time when attackers are moving faster and targeting smarter, Lookout is proud to unveil a breakthrough initiative: AI-powered social engineering protection—the first solution of its kind built to detect and disrupt human-targeted attacks at the mobile edge.

Hybrid work is here to stay, but visibility, consistency, and productivity aren’t keeping pace. Managers are left guessing who’s working effectively, which workflows are efficient, and where digital distractions or compliance risks may be hiding. Without complex data, accountability becomes reactive—or worse, arbitrary.
