How to Discover, Monitor, and Manage Shadow AI Across the Enterprise

Shadow AI is the fastest-growing unmanaged risk surface in most organizations. Employees are adopting AI tools through browser extensions, free-tier SaaS accounts, personal logins, and embedded platform features without involving IT, security, or procurement. The result is an expanding footprint of AI systems that process corporate data, generate business outputs, and create compliance exposure while remaining invisible to the governance program responsible for managing those risks. ‍

How to Benchmark Your Cyber Risk Against Industry Peers

Cyber risk benchmarking is the practice of measuring an organization's security posture, quantified exposure, and operational metrics against comparable companies in the same sector and size band. Done well, it answers three questions a board expects the CISO to answer. ‍ ‍ Done poorly, it produces vanity metrics that look impressive in a slide deck and mean nothing when the auditors, regulators, or insurance carriers start asking questions. ‍

What the Black Hat NOC taught me about MCP & agentic SOCs (Chapter 4 of 4)

The first time an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server felt real to me, it wasn't because of a clean demo. It was because of the noise. TL;DR: The harness matters more than the protocol, and the evidence matters more than both. MCP earns its keep when it shortens the path from a good security question to trustworthy evidence, and almost everything interesting about making that work happens in the harness wrapped around the model. In this series, I will cover how to build an MCP for an AI SOC.

Don't trust your eyes - ANSI escape injection in the skills CLI by vercel-labs

In a previous post we looked at the skills CLI by vercel-labs/skills and ways for a malicious skill to overwrite an existing trusted skill by using homoglyph names or abusing weird CLI behaviors. This post will delve into an OSC-8 escape injection we found in the skills add command, which lets a skill author write arbitrary text to the console and clickable links as if it's part of the CLI's output.

Identity Guard vs. Coveron vs. Aura - Dark Web Monitoring Solutions Compared (2026)

Dark web monitoring services differ more in what they scan and who they protect than their marketing suggests. One service leans on IBM Watson to guard against medical identity theft, another is built for personal and family protection with malware breach alerts, and a third extends its coverage to employers. Each targets a different reader, so the right pick depends on who and what you need to protect.

How Professional IT Services Help Businesses Strengthen Security and Maintain Cybersecurity Compliance

Maintaining strong Cybersecurity Complianceis no longer something organizations can treat as an occasional task. Technology supports nearly every aspect of daily operations, from communication and collaboration to customer service and data management. When systems are not properly maintained, even a small security gap can lead to disruptions, data exposure, and unexpected costs. Taking a proactive approach to technology management helps reduce risk, improve reliability, and create a stronger foundation for long-term success.

How to Build Reliable Data Integration Pipelines That Actually Support AI and ML at Scale

AI has become surprisingly good at spotting patterns, writing code, summarizing documents, and answering complex questions. Yet many AI projects still hit the same wall long before the model becomes the problem. The real challenge often lies in something far less exciting: getting the right data to the right place, in the right format, at the right time.

Best Ad Blockers in 2026: Who Survived Manifest V3

The best ad blockers in 2026 look very different from what most Chrome users had installed just two years ago. If you opened your browser one morning and saw a yellow warning banner reading "This extension may no longer be supported," you experienced Manifest V3 firsthand. For millions of people, it was the moment a tool they'd quietly depended on for years simply stopped working as advertised.
