Nowadays, thinking about backups in terms of redundancy alone is old-fashioned. Along with the ‘what’ and ‘how’ approach, it’s vital to ask ‘where’. And it’s not a matter of GDPR or HIPAA requirements. Knowing about your backup location(s) can be a factor that distinguishes between mere compliance and a catastrophe.

This user quote, captured on Reddit, underscores the real-world consequence of cloud outages: when it happens, the world stops. As your organization scales, you often make strategic decisions to centralize your workloads, whether it’s meeting strict regulatory requirements that demand data locality, or minimizing latency for compute-heavy applications. The true challenge isn’t deciding which cloud vendor to go with; it’s mitigating the risk of a single point of failure.

According to Bitsight TRACE’s 2025 State of the Underground report, the most exposed devices tied to critical vulnerabilities were found in the United States, and the most affected sectors included Information (telecom, IT) and Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (including security and software vendors).

Our API scanner can test for dozens of vulnerability types like prompt injections and misconfigurations. We’re excited to share today that we’re releasing vulnerability tests for OAuth API authorization for organizations that use JWT tokens. These JWT, or JSON Web Tokens, are meant to prove that you have access to whatever it is you are accessing. One of the most critical JWT vulnerabilities is algorithm confusion.

Picture this: it’s 3 AM, and your message broker is acting up. Queue depths are climbing, consumers are dropping off, and your on-call engineer is frantically restarting pods in a Kubernetes cluster they barely understand. Sound familiar? For years, we lived this reality with our self-hosted RabbitMQ running on EKS.

Having joined visionary leaders and top practitioners at ZenityLabs’ AI Agent Security Summit in San Francisco, I came away inspired and laser-focused on the incredible opportunities and responsibilities ahead for any organization looking to adopt and secure AI agents.

Cybercrime doesn’t differentiate between individuals. It can happen to anyone, anytime. We have all heard about phishing attacks, where attackers deceive innocent people into clicking on malicious links and expose their sensitive information. It happens through text messages, emails, and phone calls. When such phishing targets high-profile individuals, like CEOs, CFOs, or top executives of organizations, it’s called a ‘Whaling Attack’.

Let’s catch up on the more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news gathered from articles across the web this week. This is what we have been reading about on our coffee break! House of cards some would say…
