In November, we shared our vision for the Future of Snyk Container, outlining a fundamental shift in how teams secure the modern container lifecycle. We promised a future where security doesn’t just “scan” but scales effortlessly with the speed of the AI-driven, agentic world. Today, we are thrilled to announce that we are moving from vision to reality.

Staying ahead of sophisticated attackers requires a security platform that evolves at the speed of the threat landscape. Today’s attackers are AI-enabled, increasing the number of attacks and targeting vulnerabilities more quickly than ever. That's why we are excited to announce the Corelight Sensor v.29 release, a significant step forward in our mission to provide critical detections backed by the world's best network evidence.

Security teams are collecting more telemetry across endpoints, cloud workloads, and SaaS platforms, but the cost of bringing that data into the SIEM keeps rising. What used to be a straightforward operational decision has become a central budget challenge. Security teams are not struggling with collecting data, they are struggling with affording to keep it, and when ingestion cost drives visibility decisions, the SOC loses ground.

As cyber threats grow and become more threatening, businesses must shift to stronger, more proactive strategies to protect their data and networks. Zero Trust Security is one such approach gaining traction. Based on the principle of "never trust, always verify," Zero Trust continuously authenticates and authorizes every user and device before granting access to sensitive systems or data, regardless of whether they are inside or outside the network.

Microsoft is preparing a major change to Windows that could quietly reshape how security and compatibility are balanced across the entire ecosystem. Starting April 2026, Windows will begin blocking kernel drivers signed through the legacy cross-signed root program by default, replacing a decades-old trust model with a stricter, policy-driven approach centred on the Windows Hardware Compatibility Program (WHCP). This is more than a routine update.

Mend.io’s new Docker Hardened Images integration brings DHI intelligence directly into the AppSec workflow, giving a smarter, faster path to container security. Container scanning has a noise problem. Run a standard scan against any production image, and you’ll surface thousands of CVEs.

Security teams spend enormous effort deploying security controls. Endpoint protection tools. Network monitoring platforms. Identity security solutions. Detection systems. Logging platforms. The list continues to grow every year. But here’s the uncomfortable question many organizations eventually face: Are those controls actually working the way we expect? Security tools can generate alerts, dashboards, and metrics.

I recently attended the RSA Conference 2026 (RSAC 2026) in San Francisco. I have been attending and speaking at RSAC for a long time, and every year I try to figure out what actually changed versus what just looks new. This year felt different, but not in the way the expo floor would suggest.
