Chris Clements, VP of Solutions Consulting and Client Experience, explains why businesses should get a penetration test.

Some of the biggest delays in incident response aren’t caused by the attacker… they’re caused by the first steps taken after discovery. A few examples of well-intentioned actions that can unintentionally slow investigations and extend recovery timelines: Resilience isn’t built during an incident. It’s built before one ever happens.

What happens to Internet security when quantum computers become powerful enough to break today’s encryption? In this clip from a full conversation on This Week in NET, Sharon Goldberg explains why researchers and companies are preparing for post-quantum cryptography, what could be at risk if current encryption is broken, and why the timeline may be closer than many expected. This clip is from the This Week in NET podcast about the future of encryption, quantum computing, and post-quantum cryptography.

Security teams often buy tools the way someone buys marathon gear, hoping the equipment alone will make them ready. Real security needs commitment, routine, leadership and follow through, because preparation is what matters when the hard day arrives.

In a world where anything can look real…sharing without checking is risky. AI is making it easier than ever for misinformation to blend in. Once it spreads, it’s hard to undo. Pause before you share. A few extra seconds can make all the difference.

Join us for this week's Defender Fridays as we explore AI agent evaluation with Dylan Williams, Co-founder and Chief Research Officer of Spectrum Security. At Defender Fridays, we delve into the dynamic world of information security, exploring its defensive side with seasoned professionals from across the industry. Our aim is simple yet ambitious: to foster a collaborative space where ideas flow freely, experiences are shared, and knowledge expands.

Most companies believe their security tools—WAF, EDR, API gateways—are enough to stop cyber attacks. But AI has changed the game. AI-powered attacks: –Learn your security patterns–Adapt in real-time–Bypass traditional defenses These tools were built for a predictable world. AI attackers are non-stop, intelligent, and evolving. That’s why even the best security systems are failing against modern AI threats.

HungryClaw… OpenLobster… KrillBox? Shout out to @AlexisGay for shining a light on the fact that shadow IT tools are getting more (shell)fishy—and dangerous—by the minute. According to our own findings, within 90 days of connecting to Vanta, organizations discover ~140 shadow IT tools accessing their environment. That's a lot of claws grabbing at your data. More insights to come! Stay tuned for our new Trust Signals series.

The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is set to transform cybersecurity—from a best practice into a legal requirement. But what does that "actually" mean for security teams, product leaders, and CISOs? In this episode, host Tova Dvorin and cybersecurity expert Adrian Culley break down the CRA in plain terms—and explain why the shift to continuous security validation is unavoidable. You’ll learn: With enforcement deadlines approaching and significant penalties on the horizon, the message is clear: If your security testing isn’t continuous, it’s not CRA-ready.
