Compare Vanta and Drata across integrations, automation, and enterprise GRC capabilities. This video breaks down key differences in testing, AI-driven remediation, and adaptive scoping. Learn why Vanta is built for complex enterprise compliance programs. – GRC platforms may look similar at first glance, but the differences become clear at enterprise scale. In this video, we compare Vanta and Drata across the capabilities that matter most for growing and complex organizations.

Lateral movement is the top AI threat. MCP protocol allows agents to communicate freely via HTTPS, posing major risks for unsecured environments. Network segmentation is crucial to control inter-agent communication and prevent data exfiltration.

See how Cato Private Access helps organizations access the app, not the network. In this demo, we show how IT teams can deliver secure access to private applications without routing or firewall changes, while maintaining application-level access control, centralized policy enforcement, and visibility through the Cato Management Application. We also highlight how Cato manages private application access through the Cato SASE platform, enabling a more unified, operationally efficient approach than traditional connector-based architectures.

Watch the Spring 2026 lookback video to see how the team at Tines is working hard to enhance the way you scale your intelligent workflows through AI and automation.

Threat actors used to need days or weeks to exploit a vulnerability. Now AI lets them do it in seconds. Most security teams are already buried. Too many tools, too many alerts, manual processes that can't keep pace, and break-glass changes that get made and forgotten. Keeping everything configured and optimized correctly is a full-time job on its own. Nancy Phillips, Chief Information Security Officer at Ensemble Health Partners: "I want my teams doing the innovative stuff. Not the mundane, repeatable stuff.".

There are two types of companies: those who have been compromised and those who will be. Mid and small businesses are walking into this reality without understanding what AI has changed. On The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, David Chernitzky, CEO and co-founder of Armour Cybersecurity, explains why the gap between how large organizations understand AI-driven threats and how smaller ones do is widening fast.

Join us for this week's Defender Fridays as Charles Grandjean, CTO and Co-founder at Hexiagon AI, breaks down where AI-assisted pen testing actually stands today and what it means for both red teams and defenders. At Defender Fridays, we delve into the dynamic world of information security, exploring its defensive side with seasoned professionals from across the industry. Our aim is simple yet ambitious: to foster a collaborative space where ideas flow freely, experiences are shared, and knowledge expands.

Sometimes unlimited tokens and rippin' guitar riffs can't solve every problem. The best builders know what NOT to build. Vibe coding might cut down on time, but that's only a fraction (20%) of the total software lifecycle cost. The other 70–80%? Maintenance, security patches, compliance updates. The slow grind of keeping it alive in production. When it comes to something as complex and critical as keeping your security airtight, depth wins over speed every time.
