Tokenization replaces sensitive data with non-sensitive stand-ins called tokens. The mapping between the token and the original value sits in a secure service or vault. If attackers steal a database full of tokens, the stolen data has little value. This is why tokenization is popular for payment card industry (PCI) workloads, customer PII, and healthcare records. Yet tokenization is not magic. Like any control, it has weak points and practical limits. Teams often learn about those limits the hard way.

For decades, cybersecurity has been organized around three dominant pillars: endpoint security, network security, and cloud security. These domains have shaped technology categories, vendor ecosystems, and enterprise budgets. They have matured into multi-billion-dollar markets, each responding to successive waves of digital transformation. However, a tectonic shift is underway.

We've previously addressed the foundational problems of visibility and automated human risk management. However, the final, most enduring challenge remains: how do you address the human element that lies at the core of human cybersecurity risk? Now more than ever, users are prime targets for attackers, but the traditional playbook offers little more than check-the-box training (which is often easily forgotten).

A security information and event management (SIEM) solution aggregates and correlates data from across the organization’s complex, interconnected environment. Modern enterprise IT consists of decentralized users and applications that require organizations to implement technologies that provide visibility across disparate security solutions. Simultaneously, SIEMs have a reputation for being difficult and expensive to manage.

Online abuse is now a major part of gender based violence. Many survivors experience harassment, stalking, threats or image based abuse through social media, messaging apps and other digital platforms. The UK’s Online Safety Act 2023 has created new rules for platforms, but real change only happens when survivor services, tech companies and the public all play their part.

The attack landscape has been dynamic following the disclosure of the React Server Components RCE vulnerability. New information has emerged regarding the initial Proof-of-Concept exploit, as well as improved detection methods, exploitation mechanics observed in the wild, and rapidly growing attack activity. This update summarizes the changes and observations we have made across Wallarm customers.

Defining success looks different for security organizations than it does for product, infrastructure, and other engineering teams. The latter group can often point to tangible outcomes, such as newly shipped features or performance improvements. Security orgs succeed when risks are lowered and the company’s posture improves over time, which are results that aren’t as easy to recognize but still valuable.

Privileged Access Management (PAM) is your organization's security control center for managing and monitoring high-level access to critical systems. Think of it as a sophisticated vault system that safeguards your most powerful administrative credentials while maintaining detailed audit trails of their usage. As we head into 2026, PAM has become crucial. Here's why: Cyberattacks are getting scarier and more complicated.
