How to Develop Vulnerability Assessment Skills Through Cybersecurity Courses

Aug 22, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
This process is a vital part of digital protection because it helps organizations identify technical flaws before unauthorized users exploit them. Experts who develop accurate evaluation skills examine computers, networks, software and settings to determine where security upgrades are required. Cybersecurity courses offer structured information plus hands-on practice to help students learn evaluation methods, analyze results and suggest specific safety protocols.

Penetration Testing Options Worth Knowing

Penetration Testing Options Worth Knowing

Aug 22, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
Penetration testing has turned into one of those services every business claims to offer, but the actual delivery varies wildly. Some firms hand you an automated scan with a logo slapped on the report. Others put a named, accredited tester on your network who explains exactly what they found and why it matters. For businesses, charities and schools weighing up who to call, the accreditation behind the tester matters as much as the report format. Here are eight providers worth knowing, starting with a CREST-accredited option built around direct access to the people doing the work.

GitProtect vs. Native Microsoft 365 Backup

Aug 21, 2026 By Tomasz Malinowski In GitProtect
Summary Organizations often assume their Microsoft 365 assets are fully protected by native backup tools. However, while Microsoft does offer advanced built-in backup and recovery features, relying solely on a native approach is not a substitute for an independent, enterprise-grade backup strategy. The risks of relying on a single ecosystem for backups are escalating.

AI Isn't Creating New Cyberattacks. It's Changing How They Operate

Aug 21, 2026 By Iratxe Vazquez In WatchGuard
Artificial Intelligence has quickly become one of the most important conversations in cybersecurity. Much of that conversation focuses on what attackers might create next: AI-generated malware, deepfakes, autonomous attacks, or entirely new categories of threats. Those risks matter, but focusing only on new attack techniques misses a much larger transformation already taking place. The real impact of AI is not only what attackers can create. It is how efficiently they can operate.

AI Prompt Data Leakage: How to Secure Sensitive Data in LLMs

Aug 21, 2026 By Teramind In Teramind
As generative AI adoption surges, so does a dangerous new enterprise risk: AI prompt data leakage — the unintentional exposure of confidential corporate data to third-party Large Language Models via user prompts. Why does it happen? Driven by productivity pressure and the need to speed up their work, employees routinely bypass traditional DLP controls.

How to Set up Backup and Recovery on Your Own Kubernetes Cluster in 5 Minutes

Aug 21, 2026 By CloudCasa In CloudCasa
Regulation is doing more to shape backup strategy right now than almost anything else. NIS2 requires organizations to document their risk management measures, keep an incident response plan on file, and report breaches within 24 hours, with fines that can reach €10 million or 2% of global turnover. DORA goes further for financial entities, requiring documented recovery objectives, regular resilience testing, and an audit trail that holds up to a regulator’s questions.

Maturity Is a Lagging Indicator. Here's a Leading One.

Aug 21, 2026 By Kovrr In Kovrr
A maturity score answers where a program has been. It reports the state of documented process at the moment somebody assessed it, on a cadence measured in quarters or years, using a scale that describes organization rather than outcome. Every property that makes it useful for planning makes it useless as an early warning. ‍ The interesting question is what a leading indicator would look like instead, and the answer requires separating two problems that get treated as one.

What Counts as One AI Asset? Getting the Unit Right

Aug 21, 2026 By Kovrr In Kovrr
Two teams inventory the same organization and return different numbers. One counts forty-one AI assets, the other counts one hundred and twelve. Neither is wrong, because they counted different things, and nobody had decided what a row represents. ‍ Guidance on building an AI inventory covers which fields a row should carry and skips what a row is. That question determines the count, the risk scores, the regulatory classification and whether two inventories can ever be reconciled.

Beyond the Compliance Snapshot: Why GRC Needs Continuous Evidence

Aug 21, 2026 By Feroot In Feroot
I recently had the opportunity to speak at the ISACA GRC Conference in San Diego about a challenge I see becoming increasingly important for governance, risk, and compliance teams: How do you prove your controls are actually working in digital environments that never stop changing?
