The rapid adoption of AI agents and copilots in enterprise environments has revolutionized how businesses operate, boosting productivity and innovation. We continue to see more and more innovation in this space, between Microsoft Copilot continuing its dominance, and with Salesforce Agentforce recently announced, business users of all technical backgrounds can now even build their own AI agents that act on our behalf.

The use of version control systems, continuous integration (CI), container services, and other tools in software development have enabled developers to ship code more quickly and efficiently. However, as organizations expand their build and packaging ecosystems, they also increase the number of entry points for malicious code injections that can ultimately make their way to production environments.

Patch management is an essential prerequisite for continuous cyber risk mitigation. But it’s not getting any easier. That makes finding the right security partner an essential task for any IT operations leader. But this, too, is fraught with difficulty in a market saturated with vendors. This is where independent market analysis can be invaluable.

As organizations face the imminent threat of an IT service outage or cyberattack, they often fail to step back and understand how well they've planned to deal with the crisis. According to recent research, we know that: Perhaps the most regrettable part of it all? Almost half (45%) of these organizations already acknowledge the inadequacy of their disaster recovery capabilities.

How does the exponential advancement of technology impact the security landscape? It makes managing the fundamental risk of the technology, the software, exponentially more complex. From AI accelerating risky code production to cloud infrastructure increasing the attack surface, the world of application risk management is enduring a rapid transformation that needs immediate attention.

Every day, threat actors devise new plans for breaking into secure systems. The steps they take, from researching a target to carrying out the attack, are known as the cyber kill chain. Traditionally, that kill chain has targeted devices and networks that lie completely within your organization’s control. For better or worse, mobile and cloud-based work have upended that dynamic.

Remote and hybrid work models have transformed how organizations operate, offering flexibility, cost efficiency, and other benefits. However, this shift also introduces challenges, particularly in securing sensitive data against breaches and maintaining employee productivity. Remote employee monitoring has emerged as a vital solution to address these concerns. In this article, we will explore the risks of remote work and how to manage these risks with actionable practices.
