Imagine an autonomous AI agent tasked with a simple job: generating a weekly sales report. It does this reliably every Monday. But one week, it doesn't just create the report. It also queries the customer database, exports every single record, and sends the file to an unknown external server. Your firewalls saw nothing wrong. Your API gateway logged a series of seemingly valid calls. So, what happened? The agent wasn't hacked. Its mind was changed.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is gaining traction because it enables LLMs to interact with live systems and enhance context by retrieving and managing relevant real-time information. LLMs can’t query Salesforce, trigger an Okta password reset, or fetch context from your SIEM, for example. MCP bridges that gap by connecting AI models to real-world APIs, powering AI applications like retrieval-augmented generation and multi-step agent workflows. They’re fast to deploy.

Yes—if your website, app, or other online platform interacts with users located in California, CIPA may apply, even if your business is not physically based there. Enforced under California Penal Code §§ 631, 632, 632.7, and 637.2, CIPA was originally designed to stop wiretapping and unauthorized call recording. Courts are increasingly applying it to digital communications, including web chats, form submissions, and user behavior tracking. The challenge?

If you’ve been Googling things like “Do I need SOC 2 Type 1 or Type 2?” you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common questions we hear from businesses tackling SOC 2 for the first time. Whether you're a fast-growing SaaS start up, a fintech navigating due diligence, or a healthcare platform handling sensitive data, getting a clear handle on the difference between Type I and Type II can save you serious time, money, and frustration.

CrowdStrike is excited to announce CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security, a new solution built to protect every identity — human, non-human, and AI agent — across on-premises, cloud, and SaaS environments. This new offering addresses the growing need for comprehensive protection throughout the full identity lifecycle.

SCATTERED SPIDER is a prolific eCrime adversary that has conducted a range of financially motivated activities beginning in early 2022. Since surfacing, this adversary continues to compromise organizations around the world, deploying ransomware and exfiltrating sensitive files.

Strategic collaboration to advance security information and event management (SIEM) integration specifically tailored for the US federal government's Zero Trust architecture Elastic is proud to be officially recognized as an AWS Zero Trust for Government partner and for onboarding into the AWS Zero Trust Accelerator for Government (ZTAG) program in the US.

CISOs everywhere are feeling the AI fatigue. Every vendor at Black Hat 2025 was hyping ‘AI agents for SecOps,’ so there’s rightfully a lot of skepticism about deploying AI in production, especially in enterprise environments. But the old way of running a SOC just isn’t working anymore. After all the time and money spent on traditional playbooks, we’re still wrestling with the same challenges: alert fatigue, burnout, tool sprawl, and inability to scale.

For years, separating day-to-day user activity from administrative tasks through secondary accounts was considered a security best practice. But as identity threats grow more sophisticated and cloud environments become more dynamic, this static model is showing its age. Today, modern identity security demands a shift—one that zero standing privileges (ZSP) are designed to deliver.

Secrets management is a foundational pillar of cloud security. It enables secure storage, rotation, and access control for application secrets. But in Kubernetes environments, secrets don’t just live in vaults; they move, execute, and often proliferate across clusters and containers. Without visibility into how secrets are used at runtime, organizations risk exposing sensitive data without realizing it.
