One of the most common questions organisations ask when planning a security assessment is whether penetration testing should be performed against a staging environment or a live production system. At first glance, staging appears to be the safer option. It provides an environment where testing can be conducted without affecting real users, customer data, or operational services.

Most insider risk programs stall at the same place: they can see what data exists, but not what users are doing with it. Data security posture management (DSPM) tools catalog sensitive files, flag misconfigured permissions, and surface overexposed repositories. What they often cannot communicate is whether that overexposed file was accessed, copied, renamed, and uploaded to a personal cloud account by an employee who put in their resignation last week.

AI coding agents are changing the pace of software development. With tools like Claude Code, developers can move from idea to implementation faster than ever, generating code, exploring unfamiliar repositories, refactoring services, and turning plain-language intent into working software. That speed is powerful. But speed without governance = risk. It also creates a new challenge: how can you govern what an AI agent builds, suggests, and pulls in from the internet?

In a landscape where executive teams demand immediate AI integration, engineering and security leaders find themselves navigating a complex operational balancing act. To explore how organizations can accelerate delivery pipelines without introducing fatal security risks, JFrog recently hosted a virtual panel discussion titled “Agentic Software Delivery in 2026.

We're proud to share that WatchGuard has been recognized with eight TrustRadius Top Rated Awards for 2026, highlighting our continued commitment to delivering powerful, practical cybersecurity solutions that help organizations and managed service providers stay secure in an increasingly complex threat landscape.

Cato CTRL researchers recently identified an undocumented, active phishing campaign targeting Brazilian organizations with fake business-document lures, downloading a NinjaOne Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) agent. The use of NinjaOne is particularly significant, underscoring how attackers no longer need exotic malware to penetrate an enterprise. Familiar business workflows and software is enough.

In large enterprises, the hardest security decisions are rarely made in the SOC. They are made in board meetings, budget reviews, audit discussions, customer escalations. The most dire are often represented in the moments when leaders have to decide what matters now, what can wait, and what risk the business is actually taking on. The real GRC problem is no longer how to manage more work. It is how to help the business make better decisions with higher confidence. CISOs do not need another workflow.

Analysts summarized by the PCI Security Standards Council found that breaches in scope for PCI frequently involved card data. Teams already know the risk. The hard part is proving, month after month, that the controls around that data stayed in place and kept working. That is why many PCI DSS audits stall in the same places: scattered evidence, undocumented scope changes, firewall rules that drifted after a change window, and logs that exist but were never centralized.

Most Drupal security strategies focus on protecting user accounts before login. Organizations invest in strong passwords, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and Single Sign-On (SSO) to prevent unauthorized access. While these controls are important, security risks do not disappear once a user successfully authenticates. Users may remain logged in for extended periods, share credentials with others, access accounts from multiple devices simultaneously, or leave active sessions unattended.

In VMware environments, replication can be implemented using one of two modes for handling I/O changes: snapshots or journaling. Each approach has advantages and disadvantages. The key differences lie in how they manage data consistency, change tracking and recovery.
