Beyond security theater: How automated trust closes the AI readiness gap

‍ AI is transforming businesses at breakneck speed—but security isn’t keeping up. ‍ According to Vanta’s State of Trust Report 2025, which surveyed over 2,500 business and IT leaders around the world, 3 in 5 say AI-related security threats are outpacing their expertise. With a majority of organizations experiencing threats weekly, AI is not just driving the volume, but the precision of these attacks.

Delivering Intelligent IT Foundations for Safe AI Usage

JumpCloud CTO Greg Keller explains why traditional, fragmented IT tools create a critical Zero Trust gap for AI agents, bots, and non-human identities (NHIs). The biggest inhibitor to innovation isn't restrictive policy—it's the internal lack of a unified identity foundation. Learn how to address "identity sprawl" and transform IT operations to deliver auditable trust, extend Zero Trust enforcement to machine-to-machine interactions, and build the Intelligent IT foundations required for safe, accelerated AI adoption.

How to Prove PCI DSS 6.4.3 & 11.6.1 Compliance to Your QSA (Evidence, Alerts, Audit Trail)

When organizations fail PCI audits, it is rarely because they lack documentation or controls. They fail because they cannot prove those controls operate reliably when a QSA evaluates them. Requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1 expect evidence that reflects the page as the browser renders it. QSAs look for evidence that shows the controls running on the actual rendered page during the assessment period. This expectation is clear in the standard, and it is the point where many teams struggle.

Critical vLLM Flaw Exposes the Soft Underbelly of AI Infrastructure

While the world worries about "jailbreaking" LLMs or preventing them from hallucinating, a critical new vulnerability has just reminded us of a fundamental truth: AI is just software, and software has bugs. A newly discovered critical flaw (CVE-2025-62164) in vLLM, one of the most popular libraries for serving large language models, allows attackers to achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE) or crash servers simply by sending a malicious API request. This isn't a failure of the AI model.

Security Update: Critical RCE in React Server Components & Next.js (CVE-2025-55182)

A Critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-55182, has been discovered in Next.js applications utilizing React Server Components (RSC) and Server Actions. This vulnerability stems from insecure deserialization within the underlying “Flight” protocol used by React. Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary code on the server, potentially leading to a complete compromise of the application and underlying system.

Malicious AI Tools Assist in Phishing and Ransomware Attacks

Researchers at Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42 are tracking two new malicious AI tools, WormGPT 4 and KawaiiGPT, that allow threat actors to craft phishing lures and generate ransomware code. These tools are criminal alternatives to mainstream AI tools like ChatGPT, with no safety guardrails to prevent users from using them for malicious activities. The latest version of WormGPT offers lifetime access for $220, or a monthly fee of $50.
