How data strategy turns Zero Trust from vision to reality (Cribl)
Zero Trust means a lot of things to a lot of people. Too often, it’s treated like a product you can buy: sign a contract, flip on a new platform, and declare victory. In reality, zero trust is a journey and a methodology, not a black-box SKU.

System Notification Abuse: How Attackers Force Microsoft to Send Phishing Emails (Abnormal AI)
In this newly uncovered campaign, attackers exploit Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) tenant branding features to inject scam messages directly into legitimate Microsoft system notifications.

AI agents are forcing a reckoning with identity and control (CyberArk)
As agents become more capable and more autonomous, they begin operating across systems at machine speed. They connect tools, provision access, and trigger chained actions long after the original request. Eventually, every incident review raises a deceptively simple question: Was this a person, or was it an agent acting like one?

ISPM and the relevance to board-level identity risk reduction (Delinea)
ISPM is evolving toward cross-platform privilege path visibility: the ability to identify “shadow admins” and indirect escalation routes across identity systems and cloud platforms, then give teams options—vault the account, restrict permissions, require step-up controls, enforce time-bound elevation, or accept and document the risk.

How to Reduce Windows 365 Costs
Windows 365 offers a predictable, per-user monthly pricing model that simplifies cloud VDI budgeting.

How to Stop Auto-Updates from Killing Performance in Non-Persistent VDI (ControlUp)
Whether you’re using a read-only image or refreshing machines daily or weekly, you know exactly what your environment should look like every morning. Same OS, same applications, same versions. That predictability is one of the main reasons enterprises choose non-persistent desktops—it delivers stability, simplifies troubleshooting, and makes performance far more consistent. But there’s one silent disruptor that often goes unnoticed: auto-updates.
