For years, the VPN has been the default answer to remote access. It solved a problem organizations faced when employees primarily worked from offices and only occasionally connected from home. That world no longer exists. Today, employees work from everywhere. Applications run across SaaS platforms, public cloud, private cloud, and on-premises environments. Security teams are expected to provide seamless access while protecting against increasingly sophisticated attacks.

For MSPs serving health care clients, HIPAA compliance is a line item with consequences. Get it wrong and the downside is a six- or seven-figure Office for Civil Rights (OCR) settlement, a corrective action plan and a client base that loses confidence overnight. Get it right and health care becomes one of the highest-margin verticals in the channel.

Most attempts to control AI agents work at the model layer (alignment, system prompts) or the application layer (guardrail libraries, output filters). Both share a flaw: the thing being secured is also the thing doing the securing. A sufficiently confused or sufficiently compromised agent can talk its way past its own instructions. OpenShell takes a different position, and it is the right one. Put the controls in the environment, where the agent cannot negotiate with them.

I ran the same internal AI workshop twice in one week. Same content, same agenda, same Zoom link, just offered at multiple times to cover different schedules. By the second session, half of my material was wrong. Between the two scheduled sessions, something had changed. In the first session we couldn't use the skills feature in Claude. By the second, we could. Nothing dramatic happened.

The stack had a good run. Defense systems are the future. Introducing Sophos Fusion, the industry’s most complete AI-Native Cybersecurity Defense System. Something shifted in late 2025 that I don't think our industry has fully reckoned with yet.

The State of Ransomware 2026: Payments are dropping but encryption is climbing Insights from 2,158 IT and cybersecurity leaders across 17 countries whose organizations were hit by ransomware in the past year. This year's data has a few eyebrow-raising departures from the patterns of past State of Ransomware reports. Exploited vulnerabilities lost their three-year grip on the top root-cause spot. Median ransom demands and payments both dropped, yet the average recovery bill still climbed.
