SOC 2 vs HIPAA vs PCI DSS vs GDPR: What Your Backups Actually Need to Prove
Most MSPs and IT teams end up supporting more than one compliance framework at once. Each one talks about backups a little differently.

Move faster than AI-driven risk: Inside Mend.io's latest AI application security update
AI didn’t just change how fast you ship. It changed what your AI application security program has to protect. Two years ago, security teams protected code, open source, and containers. Today they also have to protect AI agents, MCP servers, models, prompts, and runtime interactions, configured or deployed faster than any team can manually review. The attack surface didn’t grow. It exploded.
AI Pentesting vs Traditional Pentesting: A Comparison, Cost, and Coverage Breakdown
If there’s one thing all of us can agree about modern security, it is that penetration testing is no longer a once-a-year activity. Modern attack surfaces do not stay still. New code ships faster, cloud infrastructure is constantly changing, and APIs are multiplying across product ecosystems. To keep up, engineering teams have moved security earlier in the development lifecycle through shift-left practices.
Five Governance Gaps Behind Cybersecurity Assessment Findings
Technical weaknesses may drive individual findings, but ownership and accountability determine whether they are addressed.
Natural disasters and government interference: examining Q2 2026's major Internet disruption events
Like most infrastructure, the Internet's fragility is easy to overlook — as long as it's working. When it fails, its complexity comes into full view. Cloudflare is in a unique position to detect and document the moments when one of the interrelated systems the Internet depends on breaks down and connectivity suffers as a result. Each quarter, we summarize the disruptions we detect and annotate on Cloudflare Radar.

Security on a reactive budget
Ask most security leaders how their last significant budget increase came about, and the honest answer is rarely "we made the case and won it." It's usually "something happened." A breach, a near-miss, a competitor's headline, an audit finding that couldn't be ignored or a new regulation with a deadline attached. Security spend still moves in response to events far more often than it moves in response to argument, and that has quietly shaped how the function operates: always slightly behind the risk, always justifying itself against the last incident rather than the next one.
What CISSP Still Proves That a Stack of Tool Certs Doesn't
Look at almost any security resume and you will find a wall of product badges. A cloud provider's associate cert, a SIEM vendor's operator credential, an EDR platform's specialist track, maybe a firewall qualification or two. Every vendor runs a certification program, every tool ships a badge, and collecting them is a reasonable way to prove you can do the job in front of you.
Homeschooling Families Run a School Network With No IT Department
A homeschool day often ends the way an office day does, with data entry. A parent logs attendance in one app, uploads a scanned writing sample to a second, and reviews a progress dashboard on a third. The laptop is shared. The router came from the internet provider years ago and has not been touched since.
Why Retailers Benefit From Performance-Focused SEO
Retail SEO used to be about "ranking for the big keywords" and calling it a win. Today, that mindset leaves money on the table. With SERPs packed with Shopping results, local packs, marketplaces, and AI summaries, visibility only matters if it produces measurable outcomes-qualified traffic, engaged shoppers, and revenue.
Why ESG Data Security Is Becoming a Business Priority
As businesses increasingly focus on their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance, the data behind these efforts is becoming as important as financial information. This shift, along with using AI to analyse and report on sustainability metrics, has introduced new cybersecurity risks. Protecting this sensitive data isn't just an option anymore; it's a core part of corporate responsibility and managing risk. With AI involved, the potential for sophisticated data manipulation introduces AI as an emerging risk dimension that security teams need to deal with.
