Introducing Mend.io's AI Security Maturity Survey + Compliance Checklist available today

Today, we’re excited to launch two practical tools to help teams quickly understand their AI maturity, quantify AI risk, and gather the evidence executives will ask for in 2026: an interactive AI Security Maturity Survey (with a personalized score and mapped recommendations) and a companion AI Security Compliance Checklist. Both are aligned to industry standards and built to be immediately useful in discovery, audits, and planning.

LimaCharlie Announces Agentic SecOps Workspace, Redefining AI in Security Operations

Sr. Technical Content Strategist LimaCharlie is announcing their Agentic SecOps Workspace, a security platform that elevates AI from an advisory role to an operational one. This is a key development for security teams who recognize that AI must offer more than chat interfaces, simple alert triage or next-step recommendations. To keep pace with modern threats and business needs, AI must be allowed to operate and scale.

Delegated DNS validation: proving domain ownership without exposing credentials

It seems like every service wants proof you control your domain. Certificate authorities need it to issue certificates. Email platforms need it to authorize sending. Analytics needs it to gather data. Just add this magic TXT record to your DNS, wait for propagation, click verify. It works fine when it’s a one-time setup, but certificate lifetimes are dropping to 47 days, and you won’t be able to keep up on that schedule.

The term "AI Agent" is failing us. #cybersecurity #ai #technews

The term "AI Agent" is failing us. In Prediction, Ev warns that our vocabulary is lagging behind the technology. Calling everything an "AI Agent" is like calling everything "software." It’s too broad to be useful. A browser plugin has a completely different architecture than a microservice or a factory robot. They have different identities, different risks, and different security needs. You can't secure what you can't specifically identify.

Ep 26: You can patch your code, you can't patch burnout

In this episode of Masters of Data, we tackle why cybersecurity professionals burn out, and it's not just long hours. We explore how repetitive tasks, limited growth, and work that feels invisible drain security teams who face constant vigilance with few wins and no finish line. We discuss how high-stakes environments and rigid SLAs prevent real breaks, then share solutions: celebrate small victories, recognize contributions, prioritize physical health, and protect work-life balance. The key? Clear communication, realistic expectations, and making security's invisible impact visible.

Scale compliance across global frameworks with Datadog Cloud Security

Security organizations are expected to keep pace with a growing set of regulatory and industry requirements as their cloud environments grow. Yet maintaining compliance in modern, fast-moving infrastructure is increasingly difficult. Cloud resources change by the minute, teams adopt new services without centralized oversight, and evidence needed for audits is often scattered across tools and providers.

The New 2026 China Cybersecurity Law Podcast

A new Chinese cybersecurity law just changed the global threat landscape. In this clip, Tova Dvorin and Adrian Culley break down what went into effect on January 20, 2026—and why it’s unprecedented. Under the updated law, vulnerabilities discovered by Chinese citizens or companies must be reported to the state within 48 hours and cannot be disclosed to vendors until approved. The result? A government-first window to exploit zero-days before they’re patched—at global scale.

Switch from SonicWall and Succeed

If you use SonicWall, you know what type of year 2025 was for your business. Between breaches, price increases, and confusing pivots, your vendor left you to clean up their mess while you paid more for their product and earned less in return. Join Adam Winston, Field CTO at WatchGuard Technologies, to learn why our Unified Security Platform is the right choice for a profitable, worry-free 2026. In this session, we’ll discuss.
