Why CASB Solutions Are Unsuitable for Detecting AI Usage in Organizations

Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASBs) are essential tools for many enterprises, acting as intermediaries between users and cloud services to provide visibility, enforce security policies, and ensure compliance. While CASBs excel at managing traditional SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) applications, they fall short when it comes to detecting and managing the use of AI tools within an organization.

Stop Demonizing CVSS: Fix the Real Problem

If you read the newest risk-based vulnerability management literature, it appears we have a new favorite punching bag: the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). You seemingly can’t throw a rock into the “vuln-o-sphere” without hitting someone dunking on CVSS or the National Vulnerability Database (NVD). The argument goes something like this: “Exploitation rates are up, ransomware is surging, and vulnerabilities are multiplying like rabbits.

Shaping our 2025 Data Engine Priorities: Industry Evolution and Customer Feedback

The effectiveness of external attack surface management (EASM) and third-party risk management (TPRM) capabilities hinges on the depth, breadth, and timeliness of the underlying data they are based on. For this reason, Bitsight makes a significant ongoing investment in: The introduction of Bitsight’s next-generation data engine enabled many improvements to our capabilities across all of these areas throughout 2024.

Ahead of the curve: Proactively managing third-party risks

According to a Gartner report, 60% of organizations will rely on third-party vendors for more than half of their critical business operations by 2025. However, Gartner also warns that third-party risk events – such as data breaches or compliance violations – will increase by 30% in the same timeframe. As a technology leader, these figures resonate deeply with the challenges I see organizations facing daily.

What is the Threat Landscape?

The threat landscape refers to the evolving environment of cyber threats, attack methods, and attack vectors targeting organizations, governments, and individuals. Shaped by threat actors like hackers, nation-states, and criminal groups, it has grown increasingly complex with the rise of cloud computing, IoT devices, and interconnected supply chains. These changes have expanded attack surfaces, offering adversaries more opportunities to exploit vulnerabilities.
