AI is moving fast. Your infrastructure needs to keep up. (Citrix)
The more AI expands across the business, the harder it becomes to manage. Who has access to what models? How much is it actually costing? What happens when sensitive data ends up in a prompt that wasn’t supposed to be there? These aren’t hypothetical concerns — they’re the operational realities that organizations are running into as AI scales from a handful of pilots to something much larger.

Device Code Phishing is an Evolution in Identity Takeover (Proofpoint)
As organizations become better at defending against common phishing techniques such as multifactor authentication (MFA) phishing, cyber threat actors have expanded their capabilities to techniques like device code and OAuth phishing. When combined with LLM-generated tools and social engineering, criminals can use such techniques to target more people with new social engineering tricks at scale.

What Zero Trust Access Looks Like at the Last Mile (Island)
Because Island enforces access at the browser and endpoint layer, and not just the network layer, it applies last-mile data protections that proxy-based ZTNA cannot reach. Clipboard controls, download restrictions, print blocking, DLP policies, and screenshot controls are all enforced at the session level, independent of the application itself.

OpenAI Daybreak and the Future of Secure Software Development (Arctic Wolf)
AI will continue to improve how software is built and secured. Models like Daybreak are designed to help accelerate vulnerability discovery, improve remediation earlier in the development lifecycle, and reduce the number of issues that reach production. Over time, that will raise the baseline for software quality and reduce a class of preventable risk. But raising the baseline does not remove the conditions that drive most breaches today.

Better Software Through AI, But Not in the Way You Expect
The self-build instinct makes sense on a spreadsheet. Build it once, own it forever. The math looks compelling right up until you account for the ecosystem you’re walking away from to pursue one you’ll never have.

Identity Is the New Battleground and Removing Adversary Persistence Is Key (Rubrik)
Just as organizations are grappling with that baseline hygiene gap, the agentic era is multiplying the problem. Every AI agent spun up to help a team move faster is its own identity, with its own access, its own blast radius, and its own potential for exploitation.
