There is an old saying: Trust, but verify. For Third-Party Risk Management auditors in regulated financial institutions, that principle has never been more relevant. Vendor questionnaires, SOC 2 reports, and annual reassessments are no longer enough. Regulators are moving beyond paper-based oversight and toward operational proof. The new expectation is clear: Show where customer data is actually flowing. Prove that you control it.

A detailed comparison of CYJAX and SOC Radar, exploring differences in automation, analyst-led investigations, RFIs, and intelligence depth to help security teams choose the right CTI platform. When organisations evaluate cyber threat intelligence platforms, the differences often go far beyond feature lists. They come down to philosophy, depth, and how intelligence is actually used in high-pressure environments.

API security has been a growing concern for years. However, while it was always seen as important, it often came second to application security or hardening infrastructure. In 2025, the picture changed. Wallarm’s 2026 API ThreatStats Report revealed that APIs are now the primary attack surface for digital business, and not because bad actors discovered new zero-days, but because of compounding failures in identity, exposure, and abuse.

The promise of AI-driven development is speed. But security teams face a binary choice: slow down the AI train to ensure safety, or let it run wild and accumulate risk. At Snyk, we believe you shouldn't have to choose.

A notable statistic continues to shape the cybersecurity research landscape: the human element remains involved in roughly 60% of all confirmed breaches. That’s according to the 2025 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR), which found that social engineering actions like phishing, pretexting, and credential misuse are consistently intertwined with today’s most common attack paths, even when they are not the first visible technical vector.

I’ve worked as a threat hunter in several Black Hat Security Conference Network Operations Centers (NOCs) across the globe. So I didn’t expect to be surprised by much when signing on to be a part of the NOC for SCinet—a conference that has the “fastest conference network in the world.” And yet I was surprised by just how diverse the SCinet NOC team was, how collaborative the environment was, and how much we were able to achieve with automation in such a short amount of time.

Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT concern; it is now a strategic priority in the boardroom. As enterprises operate without a fixed perimeter, depend on cloud providers for infrastructure and build partnerships across digital ecosystems, controlling access to critical systems and data has become essential to doing business. Privileged Access Management (PAM) plays a key role in securing this new environment.

Conversations about GA4 in healthcare tend to stay strangely shallow, circling the same procurement question: “Is there a BAA?” It’s as if GA4 creates risk at the contract layer, when the truth is that the risk is born earlier and lower, in the collection layer, where ordinary telemetry becomes sensitive the moment it is attached to health context and allowed to leave your site.

Today, Mend.io is proud to announce the launch of AI Agent Configuration Scanning, integrated directly into the Mend AI Scanner. By treating “Agents as Code,” we are bringing security visibility and CI-friendly enforcement to AI configurations before they reach production The rapid adoption of AI agents has transformed the modern developer workflow.
