What is Shadow AI and what is the risk to your organization? (Delinea)
Shadow IT issues are not new to organizations. Think unauthorized cloud purchases, unmanaged bring your own device (BYOD) programs, and rogue access points. Shadow AI is a natural consequence of governance lag. Users will always innovate with new technology faster than governance and security people can work to establish sane policies and effective guardrails.

When App-layer Privacy Fails: The Case for Data-layer Governance (Pure Storage)
App-level toggles will always struggle to protect sensitive data once it leaves its context. Enterprises need governance embedded where it cannot be bypassed: in the data layer and its control plane.

Beyond CVEs: The Exploitation of Everyday Misconfigurations (Wiz)
Cloud application misconfigurations - from unrestricted public exposure to default credentials and excessive permissions - are among the most common and effective ways attackers gain a foothold in an environment. Unlike a CVE with a clear patch and a vendor SLA, misconfigurations often fall through the cracks.

A practical guide to AI-ready machine identity governance in finance (CyberArk)
The explosion of machine identities in financial services is an undeniable reality. Unfortunately, most organizations lack clarity on managing their lifecycle, prioritizing risks, and governing their use. Machine identities aren’t inherently difficult to secure, but neglecting to integrate them into existing frameworks creates blind spots in even the most sophisticated cybersecurity strategies.

The Ransomware Speed Crisis (Palo Alto Networks)
The ransomware speed crisis represents a fundamental shift in the cybersecurity landscape. As attacks continue to accelerate, the window for human-driven response continues to shrink. Organizations that adapt to this new reality (deploying AI-powered defenses, embracing automation and redesigning their security operations) will thrive.

Quantum-Safe Cyber Security: Current Capabilities and the Road Ahead (Check Point)
While largescale quantum computers are not yet available, their future impact on cyber security is clear: algorithms like RSA, Diffie–Hellman, and Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman which secure VPNs, TLS, and digital identities, will eventually be broken by quantum algorithms.
