Why Most Incident Response Retainers Fail When It Matters Most

Many companies have an incident response retainer...but it doesn't actually make them risk ready. That's because too many retainers are built on outdated, hour-based "use it or lose it" models that don't actually reduce risk, improve resilience, or focus on outcomes. A modern retainer should drive preparedness, align with today's insurance realities, and actively lower exposure before an incident happens.

How to secure cloud workloads without building a full-scale SOC

You don’t need a 20-person SOC to protect your cloud-native environment. What you need is the right strategy: map your risk, embed security early, automate detection, and let smart tooling do the heavy lifting. Here’s how security and DevOps leaders with limited resources can achieve enterprise-level protection without enterprise-level headcount.

The Metric AI Security is Missing

As autonomous and semi-autonomous AI systems take on more responsibility within the enterprise, they shift from being “features” of software to becoming true internal actors. They make decisions, take actions, call tools, orchestrate workflows, and influence other AI agents. With this evolution, we must confront an uncomfortable truth: the metrics and response patterns we built for deterministic software no longer work.

Whole-of-state cyber defense: How AI-driven security helps US states protect what matters most

Short answer: Because attackers exploit fragmentation faster than governments can respond This shift toward collective cyber defense is a cornerstone of the new federal vision. The March 2026 National Cyber Strategy for America explicitly calls for a "new level of relationship between the public and private sectors" and demands "unprecedented coordination across government" to protect the American people.

Federated Search: Access Data Beyond Your SIEM-Instantly

See how CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM Federated Search enables security teams to access and query data beyond the SIEM—instantly, and without rehydration. In this demo, you’ll learn how to search data directly where it lives, including external sources like Amazon S3, Falcon LogScale, and NDR platforms, using a single query language.

Ep 40: What to expect when you are expecting an audit

On this episode of Masters of Data, we brought back GRC expert Cassandra Mooseburger to pull back the curtain on audits, and spoiler: it is far less scary than the IRS knocking on your door. We break down what actually separates a certification from an attestation from a report, how to run a prep process that does not send your engineering team running for the hills, and why the social capital you build across the business is just as important as the evidence you collect. If you have ever wondered how compliance work translates into closed deals and customer trust, this one connects those dots.

Behavior Intelligence: The New Model for Securing the Agentic Enterprise

Behavior Intelligence is a security operations model that detects risk by analyzing behavior, automates investigation and response using AI, and measures whether security outcomes are improving over time. It focuses on how users, systems, and AI agents operate rather than relying only on predefined rules or knowns indicators of compromise. This shift matters because modern attacks rarely look malicious at first. They look normal.

Observability is security (We just pretended it wasn't)

For years, we’ve drawn this artificial line that equates observability with uptime, performance, and SRE dashboards, while security is about threats, alerts, SIEMs, and “bad things.” While that separation was always convenient, it was never real. The same logs that tell you your service is slow are the same ones that tell you it’s compromised. We just routed them to different teams, different tools, and different budgets, then acted surprised when neither side had the full picture.
