From audit season to always-on: what continuous network compliance looks like

Oct 1, 2026 By Forward Networks In Forward
Every network compliance calendar follows the same pattern: quiet between audits, then a spike of scrambling the week before the next one is due. During the quiet stretch, nobody actually knows whether firewall rules, segmentation, and access policies still hold as configured across the network. The audit does not create compliance. It samples it once, and then everyone moves on until the next one comes due.

Oct 1, 2026 By Chaitali Avadhani In miniOrange
According to Gartner survey data, 56% of CISOs increased their IAM budgets in 2026 compared to 2025 to curb evolving threats, support AI adoption, and manage complex digital ecosystems. The question is: can IAM cost be optimized without reducing security quality? There are instances where organizations keep paying for overlapping tools, manual provisioning workflows, and help desk tickets that a properly automated platform would eliminate outright.

How to Build a Data Security Program for Generative AI

Oct 1, 2026 By Cyberhaven In Cyberhaven
Ask five security leaders what "data security for generative AI" covers and you'll get five different answers. Some may point to an existing DLP rule for ChatGPT, while others would point to an AI acceptable use policy. Some operate under the assumption that their DSPM vendor already handles genAI security.

What Is AI Governance? A Practical Framework for Security Teams

Oct 1, 2026 By Tiffany Jennings In Mend
The speed of AI integration is rapidly outpacing corporate governance capabilities. Generative AI is now embedded in development workflows and business applications, while agentic AI can make decisions and take actions with limited human intervention. That governance gap is becoming harder to ignore. Gartner predicts that more than 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by the end of 2027 because of escalating costs, unclear business value, or inadequate risk controls.

In AI Pilot Mode? Learn How to Scale AI Securely Without Shadow IT

Oct 1, 2026 By Abhishek Kesanupalli In Egnyte
