The question circling boardrooms and compliance departments in 2026 is no longer hypothetical: Can AI replace a QSA? After nearly two decades guiding organizations through PCI DSS audits, gap assessments, and remediation programs, the answer is clear — No, AI cannot replace a Qualified Security Assessor in 2026. But it is fundamentally reshaping what being a QSA means, and professionals who ignore that shift do so at their own peril.

RAG systems connect AI models to your internal data, making them powerful but also creating serious security gaps in access control, data retrieval, and compliance. Knowing how to ensure data security in RAG systems means securing every layer of the pipeline from ingestion to retrieval to output.

CVE-2026-21643 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in the administrative web interface of FortiClient Endpoint Management Server version 7.4.4. It allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands through specially crafted HTTP requests, primarily by injecting malicious payloads via the Site HTTP header.

Maintaining a secure external attack surface is no longer just about finding vulnerabilities; it’s about proving your resilience to partners, auditors, and regulatory bodies. Today, we are excited to announce Detectify’s PCI ASV Scanning, delivered in partnership with Clone Systems.

Learn how Elastic helps financial institutions optimize investigation workflows, surface hidden patterns, and reduce time of investigation.

Most corporate work still revolves around documents. Invoices, contracts, onboarding forms, compliance records, and reports are used across teams every day. But a large portion of this information still exists as scanned files, PDFs, or even physical paper. And that creates a problem. You can store documents, but you cannot easily search, analyze, or automate them when the data is locked inside images or scanned files. That is where Optical Character Recognition (OCR) can help.

The single most common mistake in Atlassian cloud migration projects is treating migration as a straightforward technical exercise, exporting configurations, importing data, and switching environments. In practice, an unprepared migration transfers not just your data, but years of accumulated debt: inactive accounts, overstated license needs, and sensitive information that was never designed to exist in a shared cloud environment.

The Eskenzi IT Security Analyst & CISO Forum wasn’t a typical security event. This forum was a gathering of CISOs, analysts, and security leaders speaking candidly under Chatham House Rule about what’s actually breaking, what’s working, and where things are heading. Here are 5 key themes that came through loud and clear. None of them were surprising. But together, they paint a pretty stark picture of where security and AI are right now.

GitHub is hardening Actions with deterministic dependencies, scoped secrets, and policy controls. Teams still need immediate detection and remediation for today’s risk.

Secure by Design: Building cybersecurity into the foundation An explainer of why this philosophy matters and how it reduces attack surface from the inside Secure by Design is a software development philosophy that treats security as a foundational requirement rather than an afterthought.
