Built for the agentic era: Meet the Vanta MCP Server

The way developers interact with tools is changing fast. Language models like Claude and ChatGPT, and IDEs like Cursor and Windsurf are much more than assistants and environments—they’re powerful interfaces for interacting with enterprise data. ‍ At Vanta, we envision a world where compliance workflows can shift left to meet GRC teams and developers where they already are. By launching the Vanta MCP Server, we’re making that vision real.

Government Data Breaches Are Eroding Public Trust - It's Time for Stronger Cybersecurity in the Public Sector

The recent data breach at the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) is a stark reminder of what's at stake when public sector cybersecurity falls short. The exposure of sensitive personal information—coupled with a delayed response that exceeded the Notifiable Data Breach (NDB) Scheme's 72-hour notification benchmark—highlights systemic challenges in how government agencies prepare for, detect, and respond to cyber threats. This breach isn't an isolated event.

Securing SSH on RHEL: 5 Essential Configuration Steps

Linux distributions, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), dominate the enterprise and cloud computing sectors. One of the many reasons for the success and popularity of Linux is its support of convenient and straightforward remote access protocols, such as Secure Shell (SSH). In the right hands, SSH’s ability to securely access remote servers enables access to any Linux server, regardless of the environment. The problem is that, in the wrong hands, SSH can be a security nightmare.

How to Identify, Avoid, and Protect Against Counterfeit Software Product Keys

Software product keys are essential tools used to verify ownership and secure software usage. These keys function as unique access codes that grant authorized users permission to install and activate licensed software. Choosing legit software product keys ensures users receive reliable access while reducing the risk of malware or invalid licensing. By protecting intellectual property and reducing piracy, they allow developers to maintain control over distribution and ensure that only legitimate users gain full access. Additionally, product keys support user authentication and enable access to software updates or additional features.

Is Your Rented Server Safe Enough?

We get it-you've rented a server. Whether it's for your business, your app, your game, or just that brilliant startup idea you're nurturing, renting a server feels like leveling up. It's exciting, empowering... and terrifying. Because the moment that server is online, it's visible to the entire internet. Including the bad guys. Hackers, bots, DDoS armies, and other digital troublemakers don't care that it's "just a test project." If it's online, it's fair game. So, how do you protect it?

Fake MFA Reset Warning Message

A KnowBe4 co-worker of mine recently got this SMS phishing message (i.e., smish). They quickly identified it as a social engineering attack and shared it on our internal communication channel for sharing such things. I have had more and more of these types of similar smishes occurring over the last few months. It is an attempt to trick someone into worrying that their Gemini, Gmail, Microsoft, Instagram…or whatever account…is in the middle of being compromised and you need to react NOW! NOW!
