Trustwave's database protection solution, DbProtect, now supports Snowflake, which is a popular, cloud-based data warehousing platform used by organizations to power AI models and data-driven workflows. Snowflake's cloud-based architecture separates storage and compute functions, allowing organizations to scale each independently. The platform's ability to handle both structured and semi-structured data makes it a preferred choice for a broad range of AI and analytics applications.

It’s no revelation to say that the world of connectivity has fundamentally changed since the pandemic. What may be more eye-opening, however, is how this shift has created a cybersecurity landscape more complex than ever before. Why? As companies increasingly embrace cloud computing, remote work, and BYOD (Bring Your Device) policies, endpoint security has become a critical pillar in defending against cyber threats. However, there is a challenge.

AI coding assistants are transforming the way developers work. With a prompt and a click, entire blocks of logic appear, boilerplate fades into the background, and velocity shoots up. But as anyone who’s integrated these tools into their daily routine can tell you, increased speed can come with increased risk. Vulnerabilities sneak in. Fixes pile up. And somewhere in the blur, developer trust begins to erode.

Over 2024, the average global cost of a data breach reached $4.88 million. This is 10% up from the previous year and the highest amount to date. These figures, published in the Cost of Data Breach Report 2024, also reveal that companies implementing artificial intelligence and automation in their cybersecurity strategies saved an average of $2.22 million compared to businesses that did not adopt them.

By James Rees, MD, Razorthorn Security The artificial intelligence revolution isn’t coming. It’s here and it’s moving faster than anyone predicted. Children now trust ChatGPT more than their parents for information. AI-generated content is becoming indistinguishable from human work. Entire industries are being reshaped by technology that seemed like science fiction just a few years ago.

The line between human and machine is blurring—and it’s not a question of whether machines can do more, but how far we’re willing to let them go. The frontier lies in tackling the chaos and solving the fragmented processes that slow enterprises: siloed rulebooks, scattered pricing spreadsheets, and manual approvals.

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a fundamental, critical part of security architecture that prevents data from falling into the wrong hands. In regular data-based environments (deployed on the cloud or on-premise), RBAC is an effective measure in preventing unauthorized access, with a few exceptions, like successful hacking attempts or breaches. However, this system breaks down once AI comes into the picture. Let’s understand why – and what you can do about it.
