As Australian government agencies and regulated industries move sensitive workloads to the cloud, they need observability solutions that meet highly stringent data protection standards. To address this need, Datadog has pursued and received an Infosec Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) assessment at the PROTECTED level. This is an advanced classification under the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) framework for cloud and SaaS security.

AI agents increasingly are completing real tasks in the browser, acting on behalf of employees, and connecting to the same systems humans rely on to get work done. This introduces a new security problem: AI agents require credentials – passwords, API keys, and one-time codes – to operate. As agents proliferate, the risk surface increases and it brings a variety of identity and access management challenges.

Internxt has officially achieved HIPAA compliance, marking a major step forward in protecting sensitive health information with the same commitment to privacy and security that defines our cloud storage and product suite. For the past 14 years, healthcare data has faced the most breaches and the highest costs due to the highly sensitive nature of patient data.

AI adoption has fundamentally redefined the role of APIs. They are no longer just conduits for data; they have become the “AI action plane” for autonomous systems. Every AI workflow, agent, and tool call now rides on an API, exposing a critical truth: you cannot secure AI without first securing your APIs. The H2 2025 State of API Security report reveals that this dependency is dangerously outpacing current security practices.

In the era of digital transformation, businesses increasingly rely on Electronic Quality Management Systems (eQMS) to manage quality and ensure regulatory compliance. But many companies still operate on legacy eQMS platforms that were once effective but now hinder growth and efficiency. These traditional systems are often rigid, siloed, and fail to meet the demands of a fast-paced, data-driven environment.

AI is no longer a pilot project. In 2025 it sits inside support desks, developer tools, clinical workflows, loan underwriting, and public services. The regulatory landscape has shifted from paper policies to real-world evidence in production. Buyers, auditors, and regulators want to see controls in place where data flows and models are operational.
