AJ Debole is Field CISO at Oracle, but her journey began far from the corporate boardroom. After starting out in law and government, she moved into healthcare and cyber defense, where she led teams through ransomware crises. In this spotlight, she explores the next wave of challenges – aligning security with business incentives, taming AI sprawl, and securing the APIs that connect it all.

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) went mainstream in 2022 with the launch of ChatGPT. Now, tech companies are turning their attention toward the next big advancement: agentic AI. Within the next few years, generative AI and agentic AI may coexist in the professional world, synthesizing information and streamlining operations more efficiently than humans can.

Modern businesses are drowning in content. Documents, presentations, images, audio recordings, videos, the volume grows exponentially every day. Traditional search tools, built on outdated keyword matching, simply can't keep pace. They only help users find information if they know what to look for and what keywords to use. This inefficiency comes at a cost: delayed decisions, missed opportunities, and frustrated teams spending more time searching than working. The solution?

Today, we are announcing a new approach to catching bots: using models to provide behavioral anomaly detection unique to each bot management customer and stop sophisticated bot attacks.

The recent cyberattack on Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), which forced factory closures and disrupted production, is another reminder of how vulnerable connected industries have become. Modern automotive and manufacturing operations rely on networks of connected devices, from robotic arms on the production line to electronic control units (ECUs) inside vehicles. When security breaks down, the consequences quickly ripple across operations, supply chains, and customers.

Deploying Web Application and API Protection (WAAP) systems is crucial for bolstering cybersecurity defenses. Akamai reported 108 billion API attacks over 18 months, underscoring the value of APIs to cybercriminals. Like any new security measure, the initial deployment brings various challenges during the "Day One" process. These Day One challenges should not compromise security effectiveness or disrupt business operations.

Cloud storage can offer us the best protection against data breaches, more privacy online, and a means to protect our photos, videos, and more to ensure we never lose access to our important files. However, due to the many options we have when choosing cloud storage, you may be left wondering which is the best cloud storage for sensitive data, and how these differ from the main cloud storage providers, such as Google or OneDrive.

Zenity, the leader in securing AI agents everywhere, is officially partnering with Slalom, a global business and technology consulting firm, who made the announcement today. This collaboration is designed to help enterprises safely and confidently adopt AI agents by combining Zenity’s robust security and governance platform with Slalom’s deep expertise in digital transformation and AI implementation.

Last quarter, a manufacturing client reached out with a serious AWS cost optimization challenge. Their AWS bill had grown from $22,000 to $38,000 per month over eight months, with no business growth to justify the increase. The CFO was threatening to abandon their cloud initiative entirely. After conducting our comprehensive AWS cost optimization audit, we identified $200,000 in annual waste and eliminated it within one week. Here’s exactly what we found and how we fixed it.

Receiving recognition from one leading analyst firm is a notable achievement. When two firms acknowledge your leadership, it clearly establishes a consistent pattern of market dominance. Following its designation as an Overall Leader in the KuppingerCole 2025 Leadership Compass for API Security, Salt Security has achieved the highest rating in the 2025 EMA PRISM Report for API Security.
