Stop building security dashboards nobody reads

On this episode of Masters of Data, we dig into one of data's most contested formats: the dashboard. We explore why so many dashboards get built and never opened, tracing the shift from in-person SOC culture (big screens, shared visibility, immediate feedback) to the remote-work era of folders full of charts no one reviews. The conversation covers North Star metrics, the tension between practitioner and leadership dashboards, and the uniquely tricky problem of security metrics that can look green while a threat actor has quiet dwell time in your environment.

Stablecoin Settlement: Why PSPs Can't Afford to Wait

Stablecoin settlement has moved from experiment to execution. Payments leaders from Fireblocks, Nuvei, and EY break down how PSPs go from pilot to launch. In 2025, stablecoin transaction volume hit $33 trillion, surpassing Visa in annual throughput, and 86% of firms now say their infrastructure is ready. For payment service providers and B2B payments firms, the question is no longer whether to build a stablecoin strategy. It's how to ship one that differentiates.

Stablecoins vs the Payments Toll Booth

Payments firms have run on a toll booth model for decades: clip a fee off every transaction. Neil Chopra (Head of Strategy & Business Development, Americas, Fireblocks) on why that model is running out of road, and how stablecoins let firms keep funds on platform, get direct to users, and build new services. From the Finextra panel on stablecoin settlement, with Nuvei and EY. Chapters Key Takeaways.

Falcon Exposure Management Now Available for Third-Party Environments

Frontier AI is poised to change cybersecurity faster than most organizations can adapt. It’s accelerating vulnerability discovery, which puts new pressure on security teams to handle more vulnerabilities, in less time, with workflows built for much slower technology. The primary challenge of the frontier AI era is not the increase in vulnerabilities. It’s understanding which exposures are most critical and how to address them before adversaries target them.

BDRShield by Vembu Powers RainDrive - A New Managed Backup & Disaster Recovery Service for Indian Businesses

India’s data protection landscape is changing. With the Digital Personal Data Protection Act bringing new compliance obligations to the fore, businesses across the country are being forced to think more...

Why AI Can't Verify Its Own Code and What That Means for Enterprise AppSec

AI models that generate code are also the best at exploiting it. Here’s why independent verification, not the model itself, is the only trustworthy answer. This month, the US government ordered Anthropic to suspend access to its most capable models, Mythos 5 and the newly released Fable 5, for all foreign nationals, citing national security. The trigger was a single reported jailbreak that let one of those models slip past its own guardrails on cybersecurity tasks.

Best Practices for Secure Credit Card Storage

Businesses must never store CVV/CVC codes, full magnetic stripe data, or PINs under any circumstances. For PANs that must be retained, use AES-256 encryption with hardware security modules (HSMs) or, better yet, replace card data entirely with tokens via a PCI-DSS-compliant third-party vault. This removes raw card data from your environment and reduces your compliance scope from SAQ D (hundreds of controls) to SAQ A (as few as 22 controls).

How Research Universities Can Prepare for CMMC Level 2 Compliance

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a Department of Defense (DoD) framework made to ensure organizations handling federal information maintain adequate cybersecurity controls. While CMMC is often associated with government agencies and defense contractors, research universities involved in DoD-funded projects may also need to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) like research data and technical specifications.
