The Visa Acquirer Monitoring Program (VAMP) has quickly become one of the most discussed (and feared) compliance frameworks in the payments industry. With stricter enforcement beginning October 1, 2025, merchants and acquirers around the globe are scrambling to understand how to stay within Visa’s tightening thresholds and avoid painful penalties.

The theme at the Gartner IAM Summit conference this year was clear: identity is no longer adjacent to the business. It is the business. That idea showed up in the opening keynote, analyst sessions, hallway conversations, and especially in the gap between how IAM is supposed to work and how it actually works inside most organizations. After a week of listening closely, a few takeaways rose above the noise. We did not see many buzzwords or grand predictions.

Manual access requests and long-lived credentials pose a significant scaling challenge for engineering teams, even as they automate pipelines, testing, delivery, and monitoring. As the volume of machine identities grows, the sheer volume of permissions makes manual review and revocation unmanageable, increasing risks of stale tokens and silent privilege exposure. Nearly 47% of cloud intrusions stem from weak or mismanaged credentials, according to a Google Cloud report.

Managing 5,000+ identities across your enterprise? Each one is a potential entry point for attackers—and your IAM security is only as strong as your weakest access point. This is where the most effective IAM best practices and data-driven strategies come into play.

The disclosure of React2Shell (CVE-2025-55182) triggered a rapid patching effort across the React and Next.js ecosystem. However, deeper inspection of React Server Components (RSC) in the aftermath revealed additional vulnerabilities in adjacent code paths. These vulnerabilities pose serious operational and security risks.

See how Torq harnesses AI in your SOC to detect, prioritize, and respond to threats faster. Request a Demo Security operations are evolving — because they have to. The old model of human-dependent monitoring, manual ticket creation, and siloed tools is breaking under the weight of cloud complexity and relentless attack volume. Today’s enterprise requires a new kind of agility. It demands security operations that are context-aware, Hyperautomated, and capable of responding at machine speed.

The way teams browse, work, and share data has changed fast, and so have online threats. A Secure Web Gateway (SWG) gives you a smart, always-on filter between your users and the internet, blocking malicious sites, unsafe downloads, and risky behaviors before they cause damage. With cloud apps becoming the backbone of daily operations, an SWG ensures every web request is inspected, every threat is stopped, and every employee stays protected, whether they’re in the office or working remotely.
