Open-source and third-party packages drive innovation but expose your software supply chain to relentless cyberattacks. Veracode’s 2025 State of Software Security (SoSS) report reveals a chilling truth: 70% of critical security debt originates from third-party code.

Ever seen that classic Spider-Man meme where three Spideys are pointing at each other, accusing the others of being impostors? It’s the perfect representation of identity confusion—after all, depending on whom you ask, the “real” Spider-Man could be Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, or Tom Holland. It all comes down to context and baseline—what you grew up with, what you expect, and what “normal” looks like to you.

Security operations teams face a daily balancing act: rapidly reduce risk while keeping business-critical traffic flowing across sprawling hybrid networks. Yet traditional monitoring and vulnerability-scanning tools only show snapshots of device status. They rarely explain how an attacker could move laterally, why a firewall rule is ineffective, or whether a cloud control actually matches on-prem policy.

The Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) industry continues its explosive growth, fundamentally transforming how businesses operate worldwide. As of 2024, more than 30,000 SaaS providers serve a global base of over 14 billion SaaS users, delivering mission-critical solutions across CRM, HR, finance, collaboration, and a wide range of specialized enterprise functions, placing SaaS at the core of digital transformation.

Most organizations assume a clear boundary between external users, who submit support tickets or service requests, and internal users, who handle them using privileged access. However, when an internal user triggers an AI action from a model context protocol (MCP) tool, such as summarizing a ticket, that boundary can break.

In enterprise IT, there’s a familiar story: moving applications to the cloud is easy—but securely connecting cloud workloads isn’t. Cloud migration is no longer a question of if, but how fast enterprises can make the shift. As of 2025, an estimated 67% of enterprise infrastructure runs in the cloud, highlighting the widespread adoption of cloud hosting and infrastructure services worldwide.

Protecting client-side web applications and websites is a critical goal shared by both the application development and cybersecurity teams. Web application vulnerabilities are among the most common attack vectors. However, there’s still confusion over who owns client-side security: As application security shifts left, the answer is: both teams must collaborate.

When large language models (LLMs) became popular following OpenAI’s public release of ChatGPT in November 2022, threat actors understood the potential of such systems and how they can be used in their malicious operations. However, the main challenge that threat actors encountered a couple of years ago is that the LLMs were censored and didn’t allow the creation of malicious content. Enter WormGPT.

Convergence has been claimed. Security orgs merged their teams, aligned their titles, and drew the new boxes on the whiteboard. The result: security teams are now responsible for both cloud and on-premises network environments.
