Industries, governments, and enterprises of all kinds have adopted large language models (LLMs) and generative AI (GenAI) into their operations and workflows, unlocking new possibilities for everything from customer interaction to complex data analysis. But with this innovation comes new challenges for security, observability, and data science teams.

Our customers have been telling us for months: “You’ve made security simple.” Today, Forrester confirmed what our customers already knew. Mend.io has been recognized as a Strong Performer in The Forrester Wave: Static Application Security Testing Solutions, Q3 2025. In our first appearance in the evaluation, we earned top scores in Innovation and Triage. But the recognition that matters most? Being highlighted as a customer favorite.

If you think AI-generated code is saving time and boosting productivity, you’re right. But here’s the problem: it’s also introducing security vulnerabilities at an alarming rate. Our latest research reveals that 45% of AI-generated code contains security flaws, turning what should be a productivity breakthrough into a potential security nightmare.

AI is transforming how security operations centers (SOCs) work, but the hype can outpace the reality. You don’t need to build custom models or deploy cutting-edge platforms to benefit. Chances are, you already have AI-powered capabilities in your SIEM, SOAR, or security data platforms. The question is: Are they doing anything useful? This practical playbook lays out six key priorities to increase productivity and effectiveness while maintaining control.

As part of Tanium’s ongoing partnership with Filigran, provider of open-source cybersecurity solutions, the new Tanium Connector for OpenBAS with the existing Tanium Connector for OpenCTI will help organizations more quickly identify and remediate cyber threats.

It’s been a rough few weeks for burger chains. First, McDonald’s McHire chatbot was caught serving up candidate data through insecure APIs. Then Restaurant Brands International (RBI), home of Burger King, Tim Hortons, and Popeyes, had its APIs flame-broiled by attackers who discovered they could generate tokens without authentication, escalate privileges, and even eavesdrop on live drive-thru audio. When APIs become the secret sauce, leaving them unprotected is a recipe for disaster.

AI is unlocking new ways to work across industries. Nearly four in five CEOs are implementing or likely to implement generative AI to speed up innovation across their companies, and workers at every level are using GenAI to improve or expand their processes. Unfortunately, they aren’t the only ones embracing the power of AI. WormGPT was one of the best-known early examples of an AI that could create convincing social engineering attacks and build malware.
