CCTV in Medical Practices and Clinics: A Practical Privacy Guide for Front Desk and Administrative Staff
Security cameras in a medical office are often installed for sensible reasons: preventing theft, documenting disruptive incidents, supporting staff safety, and helping administrators understand what happened when a patient, visitor, or employee reports a concern. The challenge is that a clinic is not a typical retail lobby. A camera can capture a patient checking in, a parent discussing a child's appointment, a person entering a specialty practice, or a workstation where appointment details may be visible.
Ways We Can Keep AI Under Control Before It Becomes a Problem
It's no secret that AI has a significant presence in our daily lives these days. Many people hail it as a great way to save time and help them with basic tasks each day. The problem is, AI has become a part of nearly every single app, product, and device. AI has overreached the limits that the companies selling it promised. It's time for everyone to take action to ensure that AI products and companies are kept under control before they become problematic.
Forescout: Your Zero Trust Program is Half-Scoped.
Zero trust doesn't fail. It gets scoped too small. Many Zero Trust programs rest on a the basic assumption that if you verify the user, that's zero trust. But Vedere Labs' 2026H1 Threat Review documents attacks that bypass MFA entirely like ConsentFix phishing, SSO vishing, OAuth device-code abuse. When the attacker never has to break the identity, it's not the control you thought it was. We sit down with Dr. Chase Cunningham to challenge the assumptions the industry has stopped questioning and to make the case for what "universal" actually has to mean.
24 Hours to Paralysis: 87% of Automakers Cannot Survive a Day of Operational Downtime
Two hours of downtime is all it takes to plunge nearly 1 in 5 automakers into an immediate crisis, while 87% cannot sustain an outage beyond 24 hours. With 78.5% of companies running unsegregated IT/OT networks and 5 in 9 of plant managers unprepared for ransomware, a single cyber incident now threatens rapid assembly line paralysis across the supply chain.
OpenMatter Network Expands Platform with New Capabilities for Secure AI, Computing and Data Collaboration
Less than three months after its commercial launch, OpenMatter Network today announced a significant expansion of the platform with new capabilities that make it easier for enterprises, developers and researchers to build, deploy and collaborate using sensitive data and AI while maintaining cryptographic control over how information is accessed, computed and shared.
What tasks should AI take over?
What part of your profession do you hope AI takes over? What should it never touch? Security practitioners and technology leaders landed in the same place: hand off the tedious work, and keep human judgment on anything that affects blast radius. That's the skills reckoning. As AI absorbs the repetitive work, the expertise that decides what an agent is allowed to reach becomes more valuable.
CrowdStrike Extends Endpoint Security to Stop Software Supply Chain Attacks
Software supply chain attacks pose a critical enterprise threat. In the first half of 2026, these attacks increasingly used malicious software packages uploaded to public software registries, the CrowdStrike 2026 Threat Hunting Report found. Adversaries are poisoning open-source packages and exploiting the same dependencies that AI-assisted development tools and agentic applications pull onto enterprise endpoints every day.
CrowdStrike Announces Agentic Identity Provider
AI agents are evolving identity as we know it. They execute code, invoke tools, access applications and sensitive data, and take action on behalf of humans and systems. Increasingly, they operate autonomously and delegate work to other agents. They work at machine speed.
CrowdStrike Delivers the Next Evolution of the Agentic SOC
The average adversary breakout time is now 29 minutes, with the fastest recorded at 27 seconds, according to the CrowdStrike 2026 Global Threat Report. AI is supercharging the adversary playbook, empowering many to move faster across multiple domains. Defenders must match that speed with AI-driven security operations that investigate and respond across every domain, in real time.
Autonomous Service Desk: A Ticket, Solved Before You Blink
What if your service desk could solve a ticket before a human ever picked it up? Steven Payne walks through a live incident and shows ServiceNow's Now Assist doing the detective work in real time, pulling live Tanium endpoint data to pinpoint the root cause and draft the resolution, all in seconds. No log-diving, no remote sessions, no back-and-forth. Just a faster path from "ticket opened" to "issue resolved," with a person still firmly in control of the final call. This is what an autonomous service desk actually looks like in action — watch it happen.
