AI - More Than a Buzzword?

Lately, the common theme in emerging identity security technology has been… well, you know. AI. It’s all anyone wants to talk about. All of us in the IAM business have been scurrying to find a way to tell our customers and the market that, yes! we have AI! we've had it all along! If that were so obviously true, then why are we having to tell you about it now? As an identity security technologist, I’ve experienced the growing pains of AI in IAM.

OWASP Top 10:2021 - A02 Cryptographic Failures

Cryptographic failures refer to the improper use, implementation, or management of cryptographic systems. These issues often result in unauthorized exposure of sensitive data like passwords, credit card numbers, or personal records. In the OWASP Top 10 – 2021, this category replaced the broader ‘sensitive data exposure’ from the 2017 list, with a sharper focus on the misuse or failure of cryptographic mechanisms.

OWASP Top 10 2021 - A09: Security Logging and Monitoring Failures

Logging and monitoring failures occur when security-relevant events are not properly captured, stored, or analyzed, making it difficult or impossible to detect ongoing attacks or respond effectively. These failures include missing logs, incomplete data, ineffective alerting mechanisms, insecure log storage, and inadequate retention policies. Such gaps are often exploited by attackers who rely on invisibility to move laterally across systems.

12 Penetration Testing Myths Blocking MSP Revenue, Margins, and Client Trust

Managed Service Providers (MSPs) sit on the front line of cyber‑defence for thousands of small and midsize businesses. Yet many still hesitate to add penetration testing (pentesting) to their security stack, largely because of persistent myths—myths that are steadily being dismantled by real‑world breach data. Fresh breach evidence makes the cost of that hesitation impossible to ignore.

DoD Cyber Clause Flowdown: What Suppliers Must Do

The Department of Defense DFARS Cybersecurity Clause, more commonly known as the DoD Cyber Clause (or just DFARS 7012), is the long-standing set of rules the DoD has put in place for all members of the DoD supply chain and defense industrial base. It has also spread beyond those boundaries through the use of DFARS 7012 clauses in contracts for other parts of the federal government.

Regulations Rising, Risks Persisting: The Cybersecurity Crossroads Facing Australian Hospitality

The hospitality industry’s cybersecurity posture is approaching an inflection point. Businesses are increasingly having to balance cost pressures in a challenging economic environment, while balancing technological innovation with escalating threats. Australia’s regulatory reforms, including heightened penalties and critical infrastructure protections, provide a framework for resilience; yet enforcement gaps will remain.

Master CIS Benchmark compliance: Simplify network security with automation

As a network admin, balancing optimized configurations with compliance requirements often feels like managing competing priorities. With networks growing more complex every day, achieving and sustaining compliance with the Center for Internet Security (CIS) Benchmarks can feel like a constant uphill battle. However, it doesn't have to be an overwhelming burden. The CIS Benchmarks offer practical, best practice guidelines for securing devices, systems, and applications against evolving threats.

Performance measurements... and the people who love them

Principal Engineer Kevin Guthrie walks us through his blog post, “Performance measurements… and the people who love them,” which explores how teams can better measure, visualize, and communicate web performance—beyond just raw metrics. Part of the “This Week in NET” show/podcast.

Verifying Bots and Agents with Cryptography in the Age of AI

In this episode, host João Tomé is joined in Cloudflare’s Lisbon office by our Senior Research Engineer Thibault Meunier to explore a new proposal that could reshape how bots interact with the web in the age of AI. Timestamps: We go into Cloudflare’s proposal of using cryptographic signatures for bots, enabling websites to verify their identity. Why is this important? As AI systems rely increasingly on online content, this standard could help build a better relationship between content creators and AI platforms.
