Your Vulnerability Backlog Is No Longer Technical Debt, It's an Attack Surface

Sep 24, 2026 By Brendan Hann In Snyk
Every security program has one: a queue of a few thousand findings, or a few hundred thousand, that nobody has worked through and nobody expects to. Most teams file it under technical debt, a cost carried on purpose, paid down when there is room, and tolerable because the interest rate stays low. That accounting held for a long time, because it rested on a single assumption: almost nothing in the queue would ever be reached, or exploited, by anyone.

Modern Data Security Should Be Anchored To Your Data's Lineage

Sep 23, 2026 By Franklin Nguyen In Cyberhaven
New AI tools appear every day. The novelty and utility they bring, along with the constant pressure to be more productive, pull employees toward them to get work done faster. The intent is good but the effect can range from problematic to damaging, because while there are rules in place for sanctioned tools, there are none for the ones that quietly show up in between.

Sep 23, 2026 By Shay Kosto In Memcyco
iGaming fraud prevention does not have to mean applying more security checks broadly across the player journey. For player account takeover, the better objective is to obtain enough reliable risk context early enough to reserve additional checks for the accounts and access attempts that actually warrant them.
