One SSL certificate on multiple servers

Jul 6, 2026 By Todd H. Gardner In CertKit
Every certificate renewal automation tool has to answer one architecture question before it does anything else: where does the private key get generated? A reader who used to be “the certificate guy” at his organization emailed me this week to ask about exactly that: It’s the right instinct. It’s also how most automation tools work. Certbot generates the key on the server, builds a certificate signing request, and the private key never leaves the machine.

9-Step AI Governance Implementation Strategy and the Solutions to Know

Jul 2, 2026 By Tiffany Jennings In Mend
TL;DR: AI governance solutions help organizations inventory, secure, and monitor AI systems. Best for AI security and shadow AI: Mend AI; enterprise risk and compliance: Credo AI and IBM watsonx.governance; model monitoring: Fiddler AI. Effective AI governance implementation involves establishing a cross-functional committee, compiling an AI bill of materials (AI-BOM) to identify risks, and implementing policies based on frameworks like NIST AI RMF.

Best VMware Alternatives in the Middle East for Enterprise Workloads

Jul 2, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
The VMware conversation in GCC boardrooms changed the moment Broadcom completed its acquisition. What used to be a straightforward renewal became a licensing headache almost overnight. IT managers in Dubai, Riyadh, and Doha started asking a question they hadn't seriously entertained before: what's actually out there as a VMware alternative? And the answer, as it turns out, is quite a lot.

Mitigating Attacks Before They Impact Infrastructure: Link11 provides next generation network DDoS protection

Jul 1, 2026 By Link11
Link11, a leading European provider of cloud-based cybersecurity solutions, today announced the launch of its completely rebuilt Layer 3/4 DDoS mitigation solution, designed to address the growing complexity of modern network attacks. Today's DDoS attacks are not just simple volume or protocol attacks anymore. They can originate from compromised devices within trusted and legitimate networks, mimic real traffic, and appear in short, high-intensity bursts that leave little time for manual response.

Automating SonicWall Certificate Deployment with the SonicOS API

Jul 1, 2026 By Jordan Griffin In CertKit
How do we keep our Sonicwall certificates up to date as certificate lifetimes get shorter? We’re already at 200 day certs with 100 then 47 day certificates coming soon. A certificate you used to touch once every year now needs replacing up to twelve times a year. Doing this by hand is out of the question, no one has the time. Even if they did, the frequent updates is just asking for mistakes. Luckily, this can be automated using the SonicOS API.

Runtime Incident Classification: Turning a Noisy Alert List Into a Triage Decision

Jul 1, 2026 By Ben Hirschberg In ARMO
Here is a scene every security team knows. A reverse shell opens a connection to an external address, pulls a service-account token, and starts moving against your cloud identity. Two rows below it on the same dashboard sits a payload that hit a front-end container and never executed. Both are tagged high severity. Both are competing for the same analyst’s attention at the same moment.

Why You Should Back Up Your Terraform Configuration Code

Jul 1, 2026 By Pawel Socha In GitProtect
SUMMARY – If you lose your.tf files, your Infrastructure as Code (IaC) stays up, but becomes entirely unmanaged.– Having a backup saves your team from weeks of manually reverse-engineering code to hit your RTO.– Your automated deployments rely entirely on the IaC—if the code vanishes, your CI/CD instantly stalls.– The Git commit history is the exact proof you need to pass strict audits like NIS2, SOC 2, and ISO 27001.– Setting up a dedicated Terraform backup means you c

How to Meet EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) Requirements

Jul 1, 2026 By Maximilan Heck, Waldemar Kindler In Teleport
In March 2026, attackers from the TeamPCP group compromised Trivy (CVE-2026-33634) — a widely-deployed open-source vulnerability scanner running in thousands of CI/CD pipelines — and turned it into a credential harvester. SSH keys, Kubernetes secrets, cloud tokens — secrets accessible to any pipeline that ran a compromised version — were exposed. The attacker retained access long enough to exfiltrate newly rotated secrets before the window closed.

Evaluating AI Security Posture Management Tools: 7 Key Criteria

Jul 1, 2026 By Tiffany Jennings In Mend
Evaluating AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM) tools is a critical process for organizations integrating AI, specifically Generative AI (GenAI) and Large Language Models (LLMs), into their workflows. Unlike traditional security tools, AI-SPM focuses on the unique risks of AI, including Shadow AI, prompt injection, data poisoning, model theft, and improper model configuration. When assessing AI-SPM tools, security leaders should prioritize the following capabilities.
