Cybercriminals frequently target Small and Medium-sized Businesses (SMBs) due to their limited security resources. As cyber attacks become more sophisticated, SMBs must proactively defend their critical systems and sensitive data by investing in the right cybersecurity tools. Some cybersecurity tools that every SMB should consider adding to their security stack include a password manager, a Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution, a secure remote access solution and a secrets manager.

On August 20, 2025, Salesloft published an advisory describing a security issue potentially affecting the Salesloft Drift integration with Salesforce. On August 26, Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) provided additional details about the campaign, in which a threat actor known as UNC6395 authenticated against Salesforce customer instances using compromised OAuth tokens tied to the Salesloft Drift integration with Salesforce.

One can’t discuss the modern state of endpoint security without mentioning a term that has quickly become ubiquitous with security solutions: artificial intelligence (AI). With a constantly evolving threat landscape and many security challenges plaguing organizations (e.g sprawling attack surfaces, monitoring and continuity gaps, alert overload, and limited resources), it’s clear that endpoint security must evolve as well, and the most-promising advancement is AI.

Traditional RAG creates risk. In enterprise AI, accuracy and security aren’t optional. Most vector-only databases are built for speed, but they ignore enterprise realities like security and compliance. Without context, access controls, or accurate recall, they create compliance gaps that make AI unsafe for regulated industries. At Protecto, we built GPTGuard to change that — making enterprise AI safe by preventing data leaks, enforcing privacy, and keeping compliance intact.

AI also struggles with cost vs. benefit trade-offs. It can flag a spike in activity, but it can’t tell you whether it’s worth taking a system offline in the middle of payroll processing.

When business knows no borders, companies expanding globally face a hidden labyrinth: cross-border compliance. Every new country introduces a unique patchwork of regulations around data privacy, taxation, trade controls, labor laws, and industry-specific rules. What seems like a local detail in one jurisdiction may spiral into a costly mistake elsewhere. Yet the stakes are high; noncompliance can bring heavy fines, reputational damage, and operational disruption in markets you’re trying to serve.

An SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) is a structured list of components, including third-party and open-source software, that make up a software application. It’s a detailed inventory of everything that goes into a software product, similar to a list of ingredients for food. SBOMs are crucial for improving software security by providing transparency and enabling organizations to identify and address potential vulnerabilities and risks within their software supply chains.
