Let’s talk about agent skills. As the AI agent ecosystem matures, we’re seeing a major shift in how users equip agents to run automated workflows. While robust protocols such as MCP exist to handle complex system integrations and authentication, skills have emerged as the go-to, low-friction way to shape an agent’s day-to-day behavior. Skills are extremely easy to adopt. In many cases, they are simply lightweight files that orchestrate scripts and commands.

Tokenization and encryption both protect sensitive data, but they work differently and reduce different risks. Tokenization removes sensitive values from operational systems and can shrink compliance scope; encryption keeps data present but unreadable without keys. Choosing the right approach depends on data type, access patterns, and regulatory requirements like PCI DSS and HIPAA. Encryption and tokenization both protect sensitive data, support compliance, and appear in every major security framework.

Hybrid cloud environments rarely start as a carefully planned architecture. Most organizations reach that point gradually. A few workloads move to the cloud first. Then development teams adopt additional cloud services. Meanwhile, critical systems continue running on-premise because they cannot easily migrate. Over time, the result is an enterprise hybrid cloud environment that spans multiple infrastructure layers. From a business perspective, this flexibility is useful.

We log into tons of apps each day, running on digital identities. With just one click, you can access thousands of apps without breaking a sweat. However, digital identities bring with them cyber threats, which are growing sharper each day, and compliance is getting tighter. So, who is the right person to trust to safeguard your digital identities? As organizations, you collect, store, analyze, and process sensitive data, which needs to be safeguarded with the right tech and tools.

On March 16, 2026, two React Native npm packages from the AstrOOnauta were backdoored in a coordinated supply chain attack. Both releases added an identical install-time loader that fetches and executes a multi-stage Windows credential and crypto stealer, triggered by nothing more than a routine npm install. The affected packages are react-native-country-select@0.3.91 and react-native-international-phone-number@0.11.8.

On April 2, 1796, a full house packed the Drury Lane Theatre in London, eager to witness the first showing of a newly discovered Shakespeare play. The problem was that William Henry Ireland wrote the play, Vortigern, and the entire production was a hoax. Although there was some controversy before opening day, several experts reviewed the manuscript and supporting documents and confirmed that the play was a long-lost Shakespeare original.

Insider threats account for 34% of all data breaches, yet most organizations are still building security programs designed to stop attackers from the outside. The harder truth? The risk is already inside your walls, and it doesn't always look like a criminal. Not every insider threat is malicious. Some are distracted. Some are overworked. Some are just trying to get things done faster.
