Every Windows device your organization deployed before 2025 carries a set of certificates in its Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) firmware. They've been there since 2011, quietly doing the work of validating boot signatures so nothing untrusted runs before the operating system loads. Most IT teams have never had a reason to think about them. That's about to change.

While organizations invest in secrets management solutions like AWS Secrets Manager—a fully managed service for storing, rotating, and retrieving credentials—security teams still face a fundamental challenge: you can’t secure what you can’t see.

First made famous by Bear Bryant in the 1970s, “defense wins championships” has since become a popular sports adage that’s at times overused. But when it comes to the sprawling attack surface of modern athletic events, like the tri-hosted 2026 World Cup or the Super Bowl, that cliché applies just as much to cybersecurity as it does to the playing field. Modern sports franchises are no longer just athletic clubs.

On June 3, Let’s Encrypt announced that the post-quantum web is going to run on something called Merkle Tree Certificates. The internet did what it does and turned this into a doomsday Q-Day countdown. The quantum computers are coming, your certificates are about to break, panic! Unlike every other security vendor, I’m not worried about quantum computers. But the announcement is still worth your attention. Just not for the reason you’ve been told.

As businesses continue moving critical workloads to the cloud, attackers are increasingly targeting identities, SaaS applications, and cloud configurations. While many organizations believe their cloud environments are secure, hidden risks often go unnoticed until it's too late. For MSPs, this presents an opportunity to deliver greater value while growing recurring security revenue.

Approved access shouldn’t mean you’re done waiting. For most developers, it just means the friction is about to start. You request access to a database. It gets approved. Now what? You open the portal, navigate to your request, find the session, click into Access Details, hunt for the right tab, copy a hostname, switch to your database client, create a new connection profile, paste in the hostname, go back for the username, go back for the password. And finally, connect. Whew.

Anthropic’s Claude Tag represents a meaningful shift in how AI agents operate inside the enterprise. Unlike traditional AI assistants that act on behalf of an individual user, Claude Tag introduces a shared AI agent with its own identity, credentials, service accounts, and permissions. That shared agent lives inside a Slack channel, builds context over time, connects to enterprise systems, and performs work for everyone in the conversation.

AI systems are starting to do more than generate answers. Across customer support, IT operations, software development, and internal business workflows, organizations are deploying AI agents that can retrieve information, use tools, interact with applications, and complete tasks with limited human involvement. This shift is happening quickly. According to a McKinsey Report, 62% of organizations are already experimenting with AI agents, while 23% are actively scaling them across parts of their business.

Mobile devices have become the backbone of the modern workplace. Employees use smartphones to access business applications, tablets to support customer interactions, rugged devices to manage field operations, and laptops to stay productive from virtually anywhere. With remote work, hybrid teams, and BYOD policies becoming standard practice, organizations now rely on a growing mix of devices to keep business operations running.
