Common Zero Standing Privilege Challenges and How To Solve Them
One of the most exploitable parts of modern attack surfaces is standing privileges: the persistent access rights that linger on accounts long after they’re needed. With standing privilege, static credentials are easier to steal, and overprovisioned accounts give attackers far more reach than they should have. Zero Standing Privilege (ZSP) solves these issues by granting access only when necessary and revoking it as soon as the task is finished, leaving behind no lingering access.
A Practical Guide to Attack Surface Management
Attack surface management (ASM) is the discipline of continuously discovering, inventorying, assessing, and prioritizing every asset, control, and exposure across your environment. It gives you an always-on picture of what you actually have, rather than a point-in-time scan. Done right, it answers the three questions every security leader is really asking: What do I have? Where am I exposed? What do I fix first?
A Risk Number Does Not Decay on a Smooth Curve
An annual quantification gets produced in March and quoted as fact in November. Everyone involved knows the figure has aged and nobody knows by how much, so it keeps being presented with the same confidence it had on the day it was signed off. The usual framing is that a number decays gradually and needs refreshing more often. The framing is half right and it misleads on the part that matters, because most of the decay does not happen gradually at all.
Single-Agent Monitoring Records Nodes, Not Edges
Monitoring an agent tells you what that agent did. Every useful question about a multi-agent deployment concerns what happened between agents, and those are properties of the connections rather than of the participants. A per-agent view records nodes and the problems live on the edges. The shortfall is not a tooling problem waiting on a product.
Three Frameworks, Three Definitions of AI Risk
Cross-mapping tables for AI evidence in life sciences already exist and are broadly right. Data integrity practice lines up against data governance requirements, software lifecycle logs against technical documentation and logging, human review checks against human oversight duties, post-market surveillance against post-market monitoring. Build one repository, present it two ways. All of that is sound and it starts one step too late.
7 Best Practices for Implementing API Governance
API governance is the framework of policies, standards, and controls an organization applies to how APIs are designed, exposed, accessed, and monitored. It answers four questions for every API in your environment: who owns it, what data it touches, who can call it, and whether its behavior stays within approved limits.
Building the foundation for the Smart, Green Port
Ports are becoming increasingly digital. Sensors, connected equipment, private networks, IoT platforms, analytics, digital twins and AI are creating new opportunities to improve efficiency, resilience and sustainability. But adding more technology does not necessarily make a port smarter. Many ports already operate hundreds or thousands of connected assets across multiple systems, suppliers and stakeholders.
Warning: Chameleon SEO Poisoning Spreads Phishing Pages
Cloaked SEO poisoning attacks surged by 40% in the second quarter of 2026, according to researchers at Fortra. This tactic, also known as “Chameleon SEO poisoning,” uses cloaked search engine results to spread phishing sites. “Chameleon SEO poisoning,” uses cloaked search engine results to spread phishing sites.
Digital Resilience Becomes the Core of Business Stability
Companies now judge their strength not by how quickly they grow, but by how effectively they recover when systems fail. A single outage, ransomware attack, or supply chain disruption can freeze operations for hours or days, draining revenue and eroding customer trust. In 2026, digital resilience shifted from an IT matter to a boardroom priority, guiding how leaders plan budgets and build teams. The goal is no longer to prevent every incident, which is impossible, but to keep essential functions running through turbulence. Firms valuing recovery as strategy outperform reactive rivals.
How Drone Data Security Is Becoming Non-Negotiable for Critical Infrastructure Inspections
Infrastructure inspections used to mean a crew with clipboards, a bucket truck, and a lot of guesswork. Now it means a drone circling a substation, capturing LiDAR point clouds, thermal signatures, and centimeter-accurate geospatial data in a single flight, an approach Drone as a Service (DaaS) and similar operators have helped bring into the mainstream. That shift solved a lot of old problems. It also created a new one that most operators haven't fully priced in: what happens to all that data once the drone lands.
