The best ISO 27001 compliance software for 2026

Jan 30, 2026 By Vanta In Vanta
For lean teams, ISO 27001 can feel like a lot to take on. You’re expected to set up a formal security program, assess risks, write and maintain a long list of policies, and have audit-ready proof on hand—often without a large security or compliance headcount. ‍ On top of that, manual work and outside consultants can get expensive fast, pulling founders, engineers, and operators away from building the product and growing the business.

Why Performance-Based Questions Are the Real Security+ Challenge (and How to Beat Them)

Why Performance-Based Questions Are the Real Security+ Challenge (and How to Beat Them)

Jan 30, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
If you've passed a multiple-choice certification exam before, you might assume the CompTIA Security+ will be more of the same. You read the question, eliminate two obviously wrong answers, pick the best remaining option, and move on. Then you hit your first performance-based question. Suddenly you're staring at a simulated firewall interface, asked to configure ACL rules for a production web server. There's no A, B, C, or D. Just a blinking cursor and a timer counting down. This is where most Security+ candidates panic, and it's exactly why PBQs exist.

AI for Security Infrastructure: Rebalancing Cybersecurity for the Decade Ahead

AI for Security Infrastructure: Rebalancing Cybersecurity for the Decade Ahead

Jan 29, 2026 By Garrett Hamilton, CEO and Co-Founder In Reach Security
For more than a decade, cybersecurity has been shaped by a single doctrine: assume breach. Facing high-volume, relentless, and diverse attacks, the security industry has been forced into a reactive stance, playing a constant game of whack-a-mole in a nonstop damage-limitation exercise. This has driven major investment in detection, response, and recovery, and created a world in which organizations are better at reacting to incidents than at preventing them in the first place.

How to Secure Sensitive Data in Jira & Confluence with DLP (Data loss prevention)

Jan 29, 2026 By Pallavi Narang In miniOrange
In almost every major enterprise, Jira and Confluence are the default operating systems for innovation. They hold your organization's most vital intelligence, from product roadmaps to financial planning. Yet, while companies invest billions in fortress-like perimeter security, firewalls and VPNs, to keep external attackers out, they often ignore the fragility of their internal collaboration environments.

Talos intent-based detection: Stopping the scrapers that legacy tools can't see

Jan 29, 2026 By Netacea In Netacea
Cybersecurity tools and procedures were designed to provide full defence against predictable threats that followed patterns that would raise alarms. Familiar CAPTCHAs, IP blocks, browser checks, browser fingerprinting, and login restrictions would provide a protective layer for businesses to ensure only genuine users were using their website, or app, or API responsibly. This layer of cybersecurity used to distinguish human from bot.

Cyber Recovery vs. Disaster Recovery: What You Need to Know

Jan 29, 2026 By Scott Gray In 11:11 Systems
Today’s IT leaders face a non-stop escalation of stealthy cyberattacks designed to hold organizations hostage. The dialogue has shifted from if you will be compromised to when. The financial stakes are incredibly high. According to a 2024 study by Splunk and Oxford Economics, “outages cost businesses over $400 billion in revenue each year.” For many Technology decision-makers, the instinct is to rely on traditional disaster recovery plans.

Why API Security Is No Longer an AppSec Problem - And What Security Leaders Must Do Instead

Jan 29, 2026 By Wallarm In Wallarm
APIs are one of the most important technologies in digital business ecosystems. And yet, the responsibility for their security often falls to AppSec teams – and that’s a problem. This organizational mismatch creates systemic risk: business teams assume APIs are “secured,” while attackers exploit logic flaws, authorization gaps, and automated attacks in production. As Tim Erlin noted recently, “These are not exploits of a specific vulnerability, but abuse of an API.”

Future of MFA: Trends That Will Win in 2026

Jan 29, 2026 By Minal Purwar In miniOrange
2026 is here, and cybersecurity is defined by a critical paradox: despite widespread MFA adoption, credential-based breaches continue to surge. Traditional multi-factor authentication, static, friction-heavy, and often disconnected, no longer stands up to sophisticated threats, such as AI-powered phishing, MFA fatigue attacks, and prompt bombing campaigns, which exploit user behavior rather than technical vulnerabilities.
