What Is AI Data Exfiltration and How Do You Stop It?

AI adoption does not happen uniformly across an organization. Some employees have integrated generative AI (genAI) tools into core parts of their workflow. Others have barely opened one. Most are somewhere in between, experimenting on an ad hoc basis, without consistent visibility into what data those tools handle or where it goes. That variance is the problem. Security programs built around either universal AI adoption or zero AI adoption will miss most of the actual risk.

Vendor Lock-In: How to Avoid It and Stay Flexible

You picked a cloud provider, migrated your workloads, customized everything to fit their ecosystem, and now switching feels nearly impossible. That’s vendor lock-in, and it’s one of the biggest strategic risks facing IT teams today. Nearly all (94%) of IT leaders worry about it, pushing many organizations toward hybrid infrastructure.

Why the smartest security leaders use PAM compliance to drive operational excellence

Most organizations treat compliance as a cost of doing business — a box to check, an audit to survive, a regulatory hurdle to clear. Compliance rarely inspires excitement. For many organizations it is treated as a necessary obligation, something to satisfy regulators and auditors so the business can move forward. Security and IT teams often experience compliance as a cycle of documentation, manual processes and audit preparation that consumes valuable time and resources.

The Context Gap: How Nearly Half of Your Time is Lost to Investigation

The classic tradeoff in cybersecurity has always been simple: more visibility at the cost of speed. But today, that tradeoff is breaking down. As attackers leverage AI to find and exploit vulnerabilities at unprecedented scale, the sheer volume of alerts is burying security teams. The result? An expanding exposure gap. It is taking longer than ever to triage and remediate threats, creating a dangerous window between when a tool pings and when a human in the SOC can actually take action.

How Forward Networks Helps You Respond to CISA Emergency Directive 26-03

CISA issued Emergency Directive 26-03 in response to active exploitation of vulnerabilities in Cisco SD-WAN management systems, specifically Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager and SD-WAN Controller platforms. The vulnerabilities include an authentication bypass flaw (CVE-2026-20127) that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to gain administrative privileges and manipulate network configuration, and a path traversal vulnerability (CVE-2022-20775) that enables local privilege escalation to root.

Q1 at AlgoSec: What innovations and milestones defined our start to 2026?

As we close out the first quarter of 2026, I find myself reflecting on a start to the year that was defined by product momentum, stronger market validation, growing trust from regulated organizations, and meaningful industry recognition. In just three months, AlgoSec introduced important platform enhancements, published fresh research on where network security is heading, strengthened its standing with government and highly regulated customers, and closed the quarter with three major awards.

Navigating DORA Compliance: Software Development Requirements for Financial Services Companies

Note: This blog was originally published in July 2024 and updated on an annual basis. It was most recently updated in April 2026. Regulatory compliance is a common and critical part of today’s rapidly evolving financial services landscape. One new regulation that EU financial institutions must adhere to is the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), enacted to enhance the operational resilience of digital financial services.

How Minimal Container Images Are Reshaping the Fight Against CVE Exposure in Modern Cloud Environments

As the adoption of containers grows across Cloud infrastructure, Cybersecurity experts and DevSecOps leaders continue to deal with the persistent surge of publicly available software vulnerabilities. The National Vulnerability Database documented an alarming figure of 29,000 CVEs for 2023, and the numbers since then show no signs of slowing down. Research shows that the majority of production container images have known vulnerabilities. This article explores the relationship between container images and CVE vulnerabilities (exposure), the growing burden of compliance, and the target risk reduction of minimal-image strategies.
