Why CISOs should prioritize continuous control monitoring in 2026

Feb 24, 2026 By Sravish Sridhar In TrustCloud
In a recent roundup of strategic initiatives for CISOs, I argued that continuous assurance is the 2026 operating model. Across all ten initiatives, the pattern was clear. Security is no longer being evaluated by effort, it’s being evaluated by outcomes. Boards, customers, and regulators are no longer asking what tools you deployed or how busy your security team is. They are asking a simpler, harder question: Can you prove that your controls are working right now?

Are there any real alternatives to Akeyless in 2026?

Are there any real alternatives to Akeyless in 2026?

Feb 23, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
Akeyless has earned its place as one of the strongest cloud-native secrets management platforms available. Their Distributed Fragments Cryptography technology, FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certification, and native DevOps integrations make them a popular choice for teams migrating away from self-hosted HashiCorp Vault. But Akeyless is not the right fit for every use case. Akeyless alternatives like SplitSecure split secrets across devices instead of cloud servers which reduces vendor dependency, third party risk and custody concerns.

ISO 27001: Nonconformity & Opportunity for Improvement

Feb 20, 2026 By Max Aulakh In Ignyte
A key part of any security framework, from FedRAMP to ISO 27001, is enforcement. Putting out a set of standards is only as effective as the ability to penalize failure to comply. Within the ISO ecosystem, compliance is validated through the use of external audits. The auditors will evaluate your organization based on both ISO standards and other external factors, like regulatory requirements within your industry.

CCPA consent vs opt-out: What websites Get Wrong About User Choice

Feb 19, 2026 By Feroot In Feroot
If you have a consent banner, a Do Not Sell link, and a preferences database logging every opt-out, you’re CCPA compliant, right? Not really. In July 2025, Healthline Media settled with the California Attorney General for $1.55 million. That’s one of the largest CCPA fines to date. They had opt-out forms. They had GPC support. They had a preference database. Yet, after users exercised all three, investigators found that 118 cookies were still active and 82 tracking tags were still operating.

Empowering CISOs with AI: Discover powerful hopes and real risks

Feb 19, 2026 By Sravish Sridhar In TrustCloud
Artificial intelligence has become the ultimate paradox for today’s security leaders: it is simultaneously their sharpest new instrument and their biggest emerging attack surface. As boards push hard to “put AI everywhere,” CISOs must balance innovation with accountability, often in environments where AI pilots are already live before security is invited to the table.

Feb 19, 2026 By Gabriel Avner In Apono
So you’ve got a groundbreaking product that has outstanding market fit. Your prospects love it and are raring to buy. Amazing. But before they can hit approve on the order, they need to make sure you’re SOC 2 or ISO 27001 compliant because their compliance officer won’t let them work with any vendor that hasn’t passed their audit. This is the joy of selling to regulated customers — which today, let’s be honest, is almost everyone.

Complete Guide to Understanding CMMC Compliance

Feb 18, 2026 By Tim Kerns In Cyberhaven
Cybersecurity requirements for companies in the defense supply chain have entered a decisive enforcement phase. The Department of Defense has moved beyond self-attestation and toward verifiable, contract-bound cybersecurity standards. The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), now plays a central role in determining which organizations are eligible to work with the DoD. CMMC establishes three compliance levels, each tied directly to the sensitivity of the data an organization handles.

Rethinking data governance and global compliance

Feb 18, 2026 By Ashley Grosfeld In Sumo Logic
Across Europe and beyond, regulatory frameworks are reshaping how and where organizations manage data. These laws establish enforceable standards for data sovereignty, data governance, and data privacy that directly influence cloud architecture, security strategy, and AI innovation. Without these regulations, you run the risk of these organizational consequences: Data management shouldn’t be considered as only a task for IT. It’s a board-level priority.
