Privileged Access Governance (PAG): What It Is & Why It Matters

Your Privileged Access Management (PAM) tool is running. Your vaults are configured. Your sessions are monitored. And somewhere in the environment, a former contractor’s account still has domain admin rights. This is the problem that Privileged Access Governance (PAG) solves. In this blog, we'll see why having the right Privilege Access Management tools isn’t the same as having privileged access under proper control.

Unify Kubernetes, VMs, and AI with VCF 9

Managing modern IT infrastructure often feels like balancing completely different ecosystems. For years, organizations have run separate, hand-built, Kubernetes stacks on top of legacy virtualization platforms. Due to security concerns, it just made sense to build a separate, tailored container environment that they could automate and schedule their exact needs. This fragmented approach leads to inconsistent security policies, fragile integrations between clusters, and operational silos.

How Charlotte AI AgentWorks Fuels Security's Agentic Ecosystem

The era of human-speed defense is over. With eCrime breakout times collapsing to as fast as 27 seconds and attacks from AI-powered adversaries increasing 89% year-over-year, the traditional SOC has reached a breaking point. Manual processes, fragmented tools, and rule-based playbooks were built for a different era. Today, if your defense depends on human reaction time, you’re not just behind — you’re at risk.

How MSPs Can Reduce EDR False Positives and Reclaim Profit Margins

• EDR false positives are a structural profitability problem for MSPs, not just a technical nuisance. Under flat-fee, per-incident, and man-hours pricing models, every false alert erodes margins directly. • Seventy-five percent of MSPs experience alert fatigue at least monthly, and MSPs managing 1,000+ clients report daily fatigue (Source: Heimdal, The State of MSP Agent Fatigue, 2025).

PowerShell for MSPs: A Practical Guide to Automate Tasks

PowerShell is an amazing scripting language that empowers Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to automate repetitive tasks, dramatically improving efficiency, consistency, and scalability across client environments. While traditional training or formal education may cover the basics, real-world MSP automation requires going beyond the basics with hands-on PowerShell scripting and continuous learning.

Agentic commerce is happening now. Here's what we've learned.

We’ve been collaborating with others to explore when and how agentic commerce will work. Robin Gandhi is the CPO of Lithic, a leading card issuer that’s already seeing agents use its cards to make purchases. Below, he shares his thoughts on what’s changed, and what needs to change, for agentic commerce to become mainstream. Last year, I wrote about the opportunity for agentic payments to revolutionize travel bookings, ad spend management, procurement, and more.

Non-Human Identity Sprawl Is the Hidden Cost of AI Velocity

In the current AI boom, we race to use copilots, orchestration scripts, CI workflows, retrieval pipelines, and background jobs. Sometimes, we take for granted that every one of these things needs an identity. Service accounts. OAuth apps. API keys. Short-lived tokens. As AI velocity increases, so does the number of these non-human identities (NHIs). Instead of obsessing over model quality, latency, hallucinations, and GPU costs, we also need to consider how these identities impact security.

Using VM Performance Monitoring to Boost VM Performance

Virtualization is widely used nowadays due to the advantages for business IT infrastructures, such as scalability, cost-efficiency, and convenient administration. Hardware resources of physical servers can be aggregated to resource pools and provisioned for virtual machines (VMs). Sufficient resources allocated to VMs are required for the expected performance of a guest operating system and applications running on the VM.

Stop Policies From Breaking Your Builds

Security policies exist to protect your software supply chain. So why do they keep breaking your builds? This is the unspoken frustration inside most DevOps and security teams today. Supply chain attacks drove 30% of external breaches in 2025. So your security team did the right thing. They added policies to flag packages that are too new, unproven, or missing from the organization’s approved package list.

TeamPCP Supply Chain Attack Campaign Targets Trivy, Checkmarx (KICS), and LiteLLM (Potential Downstream Impact to Additional Projects)

The threat actor TeamPCP has recently launched a coordinated campaign targeting security tools and open-source developer infrastructure by pivoting with stolen CI/CD secrets and signing credentials (such as GitHub Actions tokens and release signing keys). At the time of writing, repositories for Trivy, Checkmarx, and LiteLLM have been impacted, and reports indicate that at least 1,000 enterprise software-as-a-service (SaaS) environments may be affected by this threat campaign.
