Penetration testing (“pentesting”) has shifted from a once-a-year checkbox to a continuous necessity. In fact, by 2025 the pentesting industry is expected to hit $4.5 billion as companies race to find vulnerabilities before attackers do. Yet 38% of companies only run 1–2 pentests per year – leaving long gaps where new flaws can creep in. That’s a dangerous game when 73% of breaches involve exploiting web app vulnerabilities.

The digital era has spurred organizations to rethink how they protect sensitive data, necessitating a robust and holistic approach to security. Although ISO 27001 is widely recognized as a framework for managing IT security, forward-thinking leaders are discovering that its principles can be extended far beyond IT departments.

This blog has been adapted from a section of 1Password’s ebook: Why SSO is not enough for identity security. To read the complete ebook, click here. Single sign-on (SSO) solutions integrate with a company’s identity provider (IdP) to allow users to authenticate to multiple applications via a single log-in. By reducing the number of access points and employee credentials, SSO reduces a company’s attack surface.

As the software world shifted toward microservices and distributed architectures, the volume and complexity of API traffic have skyrocketed. Unfortunately, so has the number of API-related breaches and cyber attacks. Last year, nearly 44% of all advanced bot traffic online targeted API endpoints, while traditional web applications received just 10% of the malicious traffic. It’s no surprise that 57% of organizations admit to having suffered API-related breaches in the past two years.

As the Director of Product Marketing for Jit, Charlie is responsible for telling Jit's story to the developer and security communities. We’re excited to announce that Traceable is now integrated with Jit. Today’s security teams are overwhelmed — drowning in vulnerability alerts and disconnected tooling. Traceable delivers deep, contextual API and application security insights, automatically identifying vulnerabilities with rich runtime context and risk-based prioritization.

Businesses are moving beyond AI experiments and proofs of concept. As we approach what IDC is predicting will be the “AI pivot years” of 2025-2026, organizations are prioritizing, planning, and building for scale. This shift includes AI agents — self-directed tools that automate tasks — as technology providers strive to simplify development workflows. Under the surface, AI systems expose an expanded threat landscape that spans the software development lifecycle (SDLC).

The strategic conversation around stablecoins has moved beyond innovation labs and pilot programs. It’s now a focus in executive leadership meetings and shareholder reports. In June, Bank of America’s CEO highlighted stablecoins as a potential new form of transaction account, one the industry must be ready for. SMBC has signed a multi-party MOU to explore wholesale stablecoin infrastructure.

Few sectors exemplify the enormous value of data as healthcare does. From the relatively mundane, such as digitalizing patient data for streamlined care, to the extraordinary, like the use of AI to revolutionize prostate cancer diagnosis and care, data is the lifeblood of modern healthcare and, as such, must be protected. For years, we have been told that humans and human error are the weakest link in cyber defenses, but it's time to challenge this notion.

Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) have long served as the front line of defense for web applications, filtering out malicious traffic and enforcing security policies. But as threats grow more sophisticated and application environments become more dynamic, many are questioning whether traditional WAFs are still up to the task. In 2025, with the rise of cloud-native applications, APIs, and machine learning-driven attacks, it's no longer enough to rely on static, rule-based filtering.
