Assessing Third-Party AI Vendor Risk Before It Becomes a Problem

Every SaaS tool your organization onboards now carries a hidden layer of AI risk. The chatbot on your CRM, the transcription service your sales team runs, the code assistant embedded in your IDE. Each one processes company data through models you did not build, in ways your vendor questionnaire was not written to catch. Traditional third-party risk management was designed to evaluate infrastructure, access controls, and data handling.

Access Control Models Explained for Modern Security Teams

Most guides tell security teams to pick an access control model and move on. That advice breaks down in real environments, because the hard part isn't naming the model, it's keeping least privilege, auditability, and enforcement aligned as identities, attributes, and relationships keep changing across SaaS, cloud, endpoints, and network gear. In practice, the winners are the teams that treat access control as an operating discipline, not a diagram in an architecture deck.

Thousands of Exposed Fuel Gauges Just Left the Internet

Most of the exposure research we publish goes one way. We count some category of internet-exposed devices, the number is bigger than you hoped, and it is climbing. Webcams. Industrial control systems. NTP servers old enough to vote. The story is almost always "there is more of this exposed than there should be, and it is getting worse.".

The AI Inventory Problem Nobody Solved

By now, most organizations have invested in AI governance. Far fewer have solved the problem that makes governance possible in the first place: knowing what AI they are actually running — and with 57% of employees using AI tools at work without telling their manager, the gap is wider than most inventories admit. In this video, Kovrr breaks down what an AI asset inventory actually is, why traditional asset management never catches shadow AI, and what it takes to keep the record accurate.

How Behavioral Analytics Closes the Insider Threat Dwell Time Gap

Insider threats often remain hidden during early activity because individual actions appear normal in isolation. Behavioral analytics closes the dwell time gap by establishing baselines for normal behavior, evaluating activity over time, and identifying meaningful deviations before attackers trigger traditional detections.

Security maturity isn't a single score. #netwrix #datasecurity #identitysecurity

Security maturity isn't a single score. It's identity, access, data, and AI exposure, each moving at a different pace. Dirk Schrader, Field CISO (EMEA) and VP of Security Research at Netwrix, walks through what that actually means for how you assess your posture. Take the assessment maturity.netwrix.com.
