Identity Is the New Root Access: Rethinking Zero Trust in DevOps Environments

Amal Mammadov is a cloud security and detection engineering specialist working at the frontlines of identity-driven threats in modern cloud environments. His work focuses on how attackers exploit permissions, tokens, and machine identities, often without triggering traditional security controls. In this conversation, he breaks down why Zero Trust is no longer about networks but about controlling identity in fast-moving DevOps systems.

Embeddings vs. Generative Models #AI #RAG #AIExplained #MachineLearning #OpenAI #LLMs #AIsecurity

Not all AI models are made to generate. Some are built to understand. Here’s the key difference: Generative models take in text and produce new text (think ChatGPT). Embedding models take in text and translate it into numbers, vectors that capture meaning. Why does that matter? Because embedding models let you turn documents into searchable vectors. That means when someone asks a question, you don’t need to search the whole doc, you just find the most relevant chunks based on meaning. And that’s what makes things like RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) powerful and efficient.

Top Ten Tips to Choose a Great SAST Tool

Static application security testing (SAST) has matured from a gate-at-the-end to a developer-first discipline. Forrester’s Static Application Security Testing (SAST) 2025 landscape report highlights why: attack volume is rising, code is released at least monthly in one in four teams, and AI generated code is flooding pipelines with even more code to secure. The tools that succeed are those that shorten mean time to remediate (MTTR) while fitting the way modern teams build.

Exploring DORA Compliance in Practice: Key Takeaways from Our Recent Webinar

When I speak to customers across EMEA, one thing is clear: regulations like the EU's Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) are becoming very real, very fast. Financial institutions and their service providers are being asked to do more than ever before to demonstrate secure operations, especially when it comes to managing access to infrastructure.
