Sovereignty in an Age of Uncertainty: Why You Must Gain Complete Control Over Your Data (Rubrik)
Organizations need complete confidence that protected data remains recoverable, even when primary infrastructure is compromised. This requires immutability at multiple layers: physical controls that prevent tampering, logical isolation that maintains integrity even during an active attack, and architectural designs that ensure threat actors cannot leverage elevated privileges to corrupt backup data.

Threat and Vulnerability Management Systems: What Cybersecurity Teams Need in 2026 (Recorded Future)
Today’s ever-changing landscape means that organizations must evolve along with it or risk falling dangerously behind. The rise of rapidly weaponized vulnerabilities (i.e., known software weaknesses that have moved beyond disclosure and into active attacker use) reflects a fundamental shift in how quickly and deliberately adversaries turn CVEs into operational threats.

Cyera and Abnormal AI Announce Strategic Partnership to Stop AI-Driven Email Attacks from Becoming Data Loss (Cyera)
The rise of agentic AI has only heightened this risk. Attacks now move faster, appear more legitimate, and increasingly involve autonomous systems that can read, respond to, and act on emails without human intervention, allowing a single compromised interaction to escalate into widespread data exposure.

Everyone’s worried about the wrong AI security risk (Citrix)
This isn’t an AI model problem. This is a workflow execution problem. The AI didn’t absorb corporate secrets into its training data, it just did something with those secrets that the worker didn’t quite intend or because they weren’t fully supervising it.

Identity-first resilience: Securing credentials to strengthen BCDR strategies(Delinea)
Security leaders must have closer alignment between identity security and backup business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) platforms so that when an incident occurs, they can restore operations without disruption and without creating new exposure or compounding risk.

How the future of privilege is reshaping compliance (CyberArk)
The inherent challenge of legacy compliance models is that they rely on tactics, such as static credentials, siloed tools, and after-the-fact reporting. The result is predictable: blind spots, slower audits, and a growing gap between what organizations believe is controlled and what they can actually prove—to auditors and themselves.
