Leveraging AI to reduce cybersecurity costs and risks: A CISO's guide

In this article Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) face a dual imperative in the digital landscape of today: safeguarding their organizations from an ever-evolving threat landscape while managing escalating security costs. Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers transformative potential in meeting these challenges by automating threat detection, streamlining compliance, and optimizing resource allocation.

3 VNet Use Cases to Simplify Internal Access (Without VPNs)

VPNs have their time and place. But at Teleport, we don’t think accessing internal engineering resources is one of them. VPNs create friction, slow down development workflows, and often become security bottlenecks. That's where VNet comes in.

Contingency Planning: What's the Difference between Incident Response, Disaster Recovery, and Business Continuity?

Contingency planning is the process of determining how to respond to disruptive events. Most organizations are so dependent on IT resources, and most IT resources are so complex, interdependent, and attack prone, that contingency planning is essential to enable organizations to mitigate the likelihood, impact, and duration of disruptions to IT systems.

What Makes an Asset Risk Assessment Effective in a Threat-Driven World?

Industry experts with over a decade of cybersecurity experience recognize that the old ways of doing risk assessment just don’t work anymore. You know what I mean? Those quarterly checklists and vulnerability scans that made us feel secure? They’re practically useless against today’s threats. Think about it. While you’re running your scheduled scan, attackers are already inside your network, mapping everything out.

Ransomware in First Half of 2025: An Ecosystem in Flux

The first half of 2025 has been a period of disruption and realignment within the ransomware ecosystem. Following years of dominance by a few key players, the landscape has fragmented into a chaotic and highly competitive market defined by new leaders, divergent attack strategies, and a laser focus on high-pressure targets.

Stolen by the Scrapers: How to Protect and Profit from Your Content in the Age of AI

What is LLM Scraping? We’re entering a new phase of the Internet, one that is increasingly shaped by generative AI. These systems need data, and lots of it. To meet this hunger, they scrape the web, pulling in everything from news articles and academic journals to product listings, metadata, and user-generated content. This practice, known as large language model (LLM) scraping, has moved far beyond traditional bots indexing public sites.
