DDoS Protection for Education: How Schools, Universities, and EdTech Stay Resilient

May 13, 2026 By Vinugayathri Chinnasamy In Indusface
Globally, schools and universities now face over 4,300 cyberattacks per week on average, marking a 40% year-over-year increase and making the education sector a prime target for disruptive DDoS attacks. Most educational institutions operate with lean IT teams responsible for infrastructure, user support, and security. This resource constraint makes it difficult to withstand prolonged or application-layer DDoS attacks that can quickly disrupt learning platforms and administrative systems.

The GitGuardian Secret Detection Engine Just Got 43X Faster Thanks To Rust

May 13, 2026 By GitGuardian In GitGuardian
While not a new feature, the GitGuardian team has been hard at work making updates to our TokenScanner, the underlying engine that powers GitGuardian's secret scanning ability. This is great news for folks dealing with very large repos and legacy platforms that thousands of developers have touched over the years. Scanning millions of files, attachments, commits, and anywhere else secrets might be hiding takes minutes. Historical scans across petabytes of information, which used to take days, now take less than an hour. What used to take hours takes a few short minutes.

Your AI Agents Are Already Acting. The Question Is Whether You Can See What They're Doing.

May 13, 2026 By Michael Callahan In Salt Security
In conversations with CISOs about their agentic environments, the question I ask first is not whether they have agents deployed. Most do. It is not whether those agents are creating value. Most are. The question I ask is whether they have mapped their Agentic Security Graph. Almost none of them have. And that gap, between the agentic infrastructure that exists inside their organizations and the visibility they have into it, is where the most serious AI security risk in the enterprise lives right now.
