How Protecto Helps Healthcare AI Agents Avoid HIPAA Violations

Despite being one of the most highly regulated industries, healthcare businesses are disproportionately impacted by breaches. IBM’s independent research centre, Ponemon Institute’s report on the cost of a data breach, healthcare continues to top the list for 12 consecutive years. AI agents are infiltrating every sector, healthcare is no exception.

What is an AI Bill of Materials (AI BOM)?

What’s happening under the hood of your AI systems? AI is now a crucial element of modern software applications, and if you don’t have visibility into its components, you’ll be left blind. Similar to a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), an AI Bill of Materials, AI BOM, or AIBOM has become a crucial framework for documenting and securing this new and complex supply chain. This article is part of a series of articles on Shadow AI.

The AI-Native Era is Here: What this Gartner Innovation Insight Means for Your Software Security

A new era of software engineering is emerging, with artificial intelligence (AI) at the forefront. As the 2025 Gartner Innovation Insight for AI-Native Software Engineering report states: “AI-native software engineering will require software engineering leaders to mitigate new risks and tackle new challenges.” Here are the key insights and perspectives that will help you navigate the new normal.

Combining AI and APIs to close the risk visibility gap: A strategic framework

In this article API integrations have become the backbone of modern digital interactions, yet they also introduce vulnerabilities that can be exploited if left unchecked. The convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and application programming interfaces (APIs) offers a promising solution to what many refer to as the “risk visibility gap.” This critical gap is defined as the difference between known API vulnerabilities and the unseen or unmonitored risks that arise from their use.

AI in Healthcare: Navigating Data Privacy and Medical Advice

AI in Healthcare: Navigating Data Privacy and Medical Advice In this video, A10 Networks security experts Jamison Utter, Madhav Aggarwal, and Diptanshu Purwar explore the critical security challenges of deploying AI and Large Language Models (LLMs). They focus on protecting sensitive data—especially in areas such as healthcare—and offer key insights on how organizations can effectively secure these powerful technologies.

Five Ways to Leverage AI Safely and Responsibly

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is super-charging customer service, amplifying personalized product recommendations, and accelerating workflows that enable humans to focus on higher-value tasks. However, AI cannot deliver desired productivity improvements to financial organizations without foundational security protection in place. In this blog, I recap several best practices that empower financial institutions to leverage AI safely and responsibly.

7 Proven Ways to Safeguard Personal Data in LLMs

Large Language Models (LLMs) are becoming integral to SaaS products for features like AI chatbots, support agents, and data analysis tools. With that comes a significant privacy risk: if not handled carefully, an LLM can ingest and remix sensitive personal data, potentially exposing private information in unexpected ways. Regulators have taken note – frameworks like GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS now expect AI systems to implement auditable, runtime controls to protect sensitive data.
