The Astro Technology Company, creators of the Astro web framework, is joining Cloudflare. Astro is the web framework for building fast, content-driven websites. Over the past few years, we’ve seen an incredibly diverse range of developers and companies use Astro to build for the web. This ranges from established brands like Porsche and IKEA, to fast-growing AI companies like Opencode and OpenAI.

Rondodox is a botnet that operates quietly and causes damage over time. It does not flood networks with traffic or trigger obvious alerts. It continues to run in the background for extended periods without being detected. In most cases, botnets are found when something breaks, but Rondodox is different. It blends into normal activity and relies on low-noise communication. This is why detecting this botnet is difficult, even in environments with mature security tools.

It’s easy to see how SaaS sprawl happens if you picture the moment it starts. A team is blocked, someone needs a tool ASAP, and the answer to their problems lies just behind a free trial, so they sign up for a new tool. No one is being careless. They’re being efficient. The problem is that follow-up rarely keeps pace with new sign-ups, especially when the card on file belongs to "the company" and the requester has already moved on to the next priority.

One key area that organizations face challenges is how their data storage and handling should apply to customers: specifically, how long you’re allowed to store customer data, and why this is one of the areas where organizations get it wrong most often.

For the past two years, AI agents have dominated boardroom conversations, product roadmaps, and investor decks. Companies made bold promises, tested early prototypes, and poured resources into innovation, with analysts projecting an economic impact of $2.6 trillion to $4.4 trillion. As 2026 begins, the experimentation phase ends and the production era starts as organizations roll out AI agents at scale across their enterprises.

Security audits are a series of systematic assessments conducted internally or externally by experts. They are designed to evaluate an organization’s information systems, networks, and applications for vulnerabilities, compliance adherence, and overall security posture. However, a security audit is only as effective as its implementation.

Security testing often becomes fragmented as systems scale and APIs multiply across platforms. Different teams use different tools, leading to inconsistent vulnerability identification and patching, which creates gaps in security and leaves organizations vulnerable to increasingly sophisticated API attacks.

The architectural divide in cybersecurity is no longer theoretical. It's operational. Adversaries are deploying AI-accelerated attacks and moving laterally across domains faster than human analysts can correlate evidence. Meanwhile, defenders are adopting AI tools that accelerate individual tasks but still operate on fragmented data and require manual correlation across disconnected systems.

In 2025, there were more than 48,000 vulnerabilities published, amounting to over a 20% increase from 2024. More troubling than the sheer volume of vulnerabilities in 2025 is that more than a third of them were given a rating of “high” or “critical” severity. For security teams already stretched too thin, a proactive vulnerability management plan that patches or otherwise remediates all vulnerabilities is too far out of reach.
