The Workday breach isn't just another security incident—it's a blueprint for how modern attackers are systematically dismantling traditional Data Loss Prevention (DLP) strategies. When a company renowned for security excellence falls victim to social engineering that bypasses every conventional control, it's time to fundamentally rethink your approach.

If you’ve decided relying on annual penetration tests isn’t enough anymore (smart move), the next question is: “What’s the best way to continuously prove — and improve — our internal security posture?” There’s no shortage of platforms out there promising to be your automated red team, internal pentester, or attack-surface explorer. But dig deeper, and you’ll see not all of them are built the same.

Web Application and API Protection (WAAP) solutions have become increasingly vital in today’s cybersecurity strategies, providing essential defenses against attacks targeting web applications and APIs. It’s no surprise that APIs are growing in popularity, with 80% of companies reporting that more than half of their applications depend on APIs—a figure projected to reach 88% within the next 24 months (ESG Research, 2025).

The release of a new KuppingerCole Leadership Compass is always a significant event for the cybersecurity industry, offering a vendor-neutral view of the market's current state. The 2025 edition, focusing on API Security and Management, is critical as it arrives at a pivotal moment for technology. It clearly presents a fact many organizations are just beginning to understand: the crucial connection between the rise of Artificial Intelligence and the necessity for robust API security.

Deepfake attacks targeting executives are no longer a sci-fi scenario—they’re a real, escalating threat. In 2024 alone, over 105,000 deepfake incidents were reported in the U.S., contributing to $200 million in financial losses in Q1 of 2025. Scammers deepfake voices and videos of CEOs or CFOs to coax employees into sending money or exposing sensitive data. The sophistication and accessibility of this technology demand layered defenses—both human-focused and tech-driven.

The quantum threat isn’t theoretical—it’s operational. Quantum computing is rapidly shifting from research to reality, forcing chief information security officers (CISOs) to rethink cryptography, risk management and long-term data protection. In a previous post, I explained the quantum challenge. Recently, we explored why quantum readiness is not optional. Now, it’s time for action.
