Software development has entered a new era. Applications are built and deployed faster than ever, powered by cloud-native architectures, open-source software, and AI-assisted development. But this speed has introduced a new challenge: a dramatically expanded attack surface and a fragmented security model that struggles to keep up.

LABYRINTH CHOLLIMA is among the most prolific DPRK-nexus adversaries that CrowdStrike Intelligence tracks and is responsible for some of North Korea’s most notable intrusions including destructive attacks against South Korean and U.S. entities, and the global WannaCry ransomware incident.

Golf can be an incredibly frustrating game to play. The great Winston Churchill described golf as "a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose.” Interestingly, cybersecurity professionals face the exact opposite problem.

Fair-share orchestration of resources in a tenant, especially in a multi-tenant context is a complex, multifaceted issue. It involves ensuring equitable access to shared resources, preventing system overload, and maintaining optimal performance across all customer workflows. As more customers build and trust Tines with their most important workflows, (which sees the platform handle over a billion automated actions per week), we recognized that we needed to ensure our platform's scalability.

AI-assisted development has crossed a tipping point. Mobile teams are no longer debating whether to use AI to write code. They are deciding how fast they can ship with it. This shift, often called vibe coding, prioritizes intent and speed over manual implementation. Developers describe what they want, and AI fills in the rest. Velocity improves. Releases accelerate. But security assumptions quietly break. For mobile applications, that risk compounds.

A multinational financial institution walks into its annual PCI DSS review confident it has “checked the boxes.” Firewalls are segmented, logs are retained, access controls are documented, and the audit report is clean. Months later, the same organization is reprimanded by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). The controls were properly implemented.

Modern organizations depend on a vast network of third-party vendors to deliver their products and services, often outsourcing logistics like manufacturing and customer support. While this promotes scalability and innovation, relying on external parties can create blind spots in data security, regulatory compliance, and risk management. ‍ These gaps exist because vendors often don’t operate under the same policies and ethical standards as the organization with which they collaborate.
