The recent news about Google’s multi-billion-dollar acquisition of Wiz has sparked widespread conversation across the cybersecurity world. Its price tag reflects its strong reputation, Wiz is a leader in Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) solution. Its strength lies in identifying potential risks before they impact your live environment.

As our reliance on digital devices and technologies has increased, so have concerns about the negative effects of excessive screen time on mental and physical health. As a result, many people are choosing digital detox as a structured way to disconnect, improve well-being, and have greater control over their digital footprint.

We’re excited to announce a powerful new integration between Mend.io and Microsoft Defender for Cloud (MDC)—a step forward in our mission to bring intelligent, actionable, and context-rich open source security directly into the cloud security workflow. As organizations embrace cloud-native architectures, security teams face the growing challenge of identifying and prioritizing the open source software risks that truly matter.

There are rare moments when the technology world takes a massive leap forward. Today is one of those moments. At Salt Security, we have always believed that APIs form the connective tissue of the modern enterprise. As AI accelerates the pace of business beyond anything we’ve seen before, a simple truth has become clear: The way we discover, understand, and secure APIs must evolve, or we will be left behind.

APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are the invisible backbone of everything from mobile banking to cryptocurrency exchanges. These powerful interfaces enable transactions to become frictionless, allowing data to be shared in real-time and services to be integrated in new ways across platforms, thereby transforming the way financial services operate and delivering customer value. But that very interconnectedness that drives innovation also creates new points of risk.

Today, Kovrr, the leading global provider of on-demand cyber risk quantification (CRQ) solutions, announced the launch of its CRQ-powered cyber risk register, a first-of-its-kind SaaS-based tool designed to provide security and risk managers (SRMs) with quantified insights that enhance cyber governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) initiatives.

If you’re building software, chances are your environment looks nothing like it did a few years ago. Monolithic applications have given way to microservices. On-prem systems have migrated to multi-cloud. Waterfall has become agile, and developers are pushing code daily (sometimes hourly). Security, meanwhile, is still catching up.

Security testing hasn’t just fallen behind—it’s playing the wrong game in a world where product teams ship updates like software streams, testing once a year is akin to locking the doors after the party has ended. It’s not just late; it’s irrelevant. Most orgs still treat pentests like performance reviews: formal, infrequent, and disconnected from the day-to-day reality. But risk doesn’t work on an annual schedule.

Let’s face it: The cloud has become the go-to platform for modern infrastructure—and for good reason. Scalability, flexibility, and speed are hard to beat. But as organizations increasingly rely on the cloud to run their critical operations, the threat landscape is evolving just as fast. And attackers? They’re getting smarter, stealthier, and more cloud-savvy by the day. That’s why monitoring cloud network traffic is no longer optional—it’s essential.
