AI is changing the threat landscape faster than organizations can respond. AI-generated phishing and fraud have increased sharply year-over-year, and GenAI is enabling more sophisticated cyber attacks than ever before. ‍ Businesses are feeling the pain. Our team at Vanta surveyed 2,500 business and IT leaders across the globe and found that nearly three-quarters believe AI threats are outpacing their ability to manage them.

Secure all your non-human identities across providers and without secrets. Explore how AWS and GitGuardian can help organizations migrate to short-lived tokens.

The theme at the Gartner IAM Summit conference this year was clear: identity is no longer adjacent to the business. It is the business. That idea showed up in the opening keynote, analyst sessions, hallway conversations, and especially in the gap between how IAM is supposed to work and how it actually works inside most organizations. After a week of listening closely, a few takeaways rose above the noise. We did not see many buzzwords or grand predictions.

We shipped some big updates this week!

Frost & Sullivan has recognized LevelBlue as a Growth Index leader in the just-released Frost Radar: Managed Detection and Response, 2025. Companies plotted on the Frost Radar are the leaders in the industry for growth, innovation, or both. This recognition indicates LevelBlue is a leader in Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and an organization others should look to when deciding how to best solve their cybersecurity needs.

The pressure to integrate AI is immense. Your developers need to move fast, and they’re finding ways to get the job done. But this rush for innovation often happens outside of established governance, creating a sprawling, invisible risk known as Shadow AI. To secure your organization, you must first understand what Shadow AI actually is. It’s not just a developer downloading a file to their laptop. Shadow AI is the totality of unmanaged AI assets within your supply chain.

Managing user access across the entire employee lifecycle has become increasingly complex for modern IT and security teams. From provisioning new hires and modifying existing permissions during role changes to quickly deprovisioning departing employees, organizations must maintain granular access controls without disrupting operations. To keep up with the growth of hybrid and remote work, modern Identity Lifecycle Management (ILM) is essential for organizations to mitigate identity-based security risks.

Managing 5,000+ identities across your enterprise? Each one is a potential entry point for attackers—and your IAM security is only as strong as your weakest access point. This is where the most effective IAM best practices and data-driven strategies come into play.
