Security operations often feel like a paradox: a discipline built on high-speed decision-making wrapped inside layers of noisy, inconsistent data. Every alert has some useful and not so useful noise, but only a few truly matter. Our job is to know the difference. For us, Tines became the medium through which the noise resolved into signal.

One man’s perspective on RSA 2026 and what the AI agent security market actually looks like up close. Every year at RSA, there's a theme, not the official one printed on the lanyards, but the real one. The one that shows up in every booth conversation, every hallway argument, every dinner where people finally say what they wouldn't say on a panel. A few years back, it was cloud. Then zero trust took over and held the room for a while. XDR came through and confused everyone. Identity had its moment.

Two significant software supply chain cybersecurity attacks, seven days apart, with one hundred and eighty million weekly downloads between them. The chaos from development teams to the boardroom is real. And the pace is only going to get faster. Much, much faster…

When it comes to recovery from backups, one of the core functionalities needed is recovering a file or files that may have been accidentally or intentionally deleted, corrupted by a system failure, or a possible ransomware infection. When it comes to file recovery, we want to be able to quickly and easily recover from a backup and have the flexibility to choose the restore points we need.

Conversations at RSA 2026 circled back to the same topic: identity is the foundation of AI agent security. While it’s understandable, it’s the wrong way to look at things. Identity tells you who showed up. It says nothing about whether what they did made sense.

Active Directory (AD) remains the foundational identity and access management system for the vast majority of enterprises globally, making it a prime target for cybercriminals. AD is constantly under attack, and threat actors rarely have to resort to complex, zero-day exploits to breach it. Instead, they rely on a pervasive and persistent vulnerability: everyday misconfigurations.

Hybrid cloud backup is a data protection strategy that combines both on-premises and cloud-based storage for backup data. This approach stands out from other backup strategies by including a cloud component to enhance redundancy, availability, resilience, and cost efficiency.

By: Beth Dannemilller, Senior Director, Product Marketing For years, security operations have been measured by effort. More alerts processed. More data ingested. More tools deployed. It looks like progress. It isn’t. CIOs know the reality. Teams are overwhelmed. Costs keep rising. And when the board asks a simple question, “Are we reducing risk?”, the answer is often unclear. This is the breaking point for the SOC.
