How to Improve Cyber Security and Phishing Protection with a Fractional Executive

How to Improve Cyber Security and Phishing Protection with a Fractional Executive

Feb 10, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
Many organisations today turn to fractional executives - such as a fractional CEO or fractional CFO - to gain fast access to reliable external expertise that improves operations without committing to a full-time hire. Similar solutions exist for specialised cyber security leadership: a fractional CISO can provide strategic oversight, governance, and risk-based decision-making on a flexible basis. For organisations facing ever-more sophisticated threats and limited internal resources, engaging an expert on a fractional basiscan mean the difference between reactive firefighting and proactive cyber resilience.

Extending Access Duration Without Breaking Flow

Feb 9, 2026 By Gabriel Avner In Apono
Today we’re introducing Extending Access Duration, a new capability designed to solve a problem we kept hearing about from customers who rely on short-lived, approved access to sensitive systems. Just-in-Time access is the right model for protecting critical resources. But real work does not always fit neatly into the time window defined when an access flow was created.

The 2026 Forecast for AI-Driven Threats

Feb 9, 2026 By Netacea In Netacea
2025 changed the shape of digital risk. In 2026, the impact accelerates. The fastest-growing threats no longer look like traditional attacks. They arrive through apparently legitimate automated access – AI agents, LLM crawlers, and delegated automation interacting directly with revenue-critical systems. They don’t trigger alarms. They quietly extract value, distort pricing logic, and reshape digital economics at scale.

The best TPRM software for 2026

Feb 9, 2026 By Vanta In Vanta
Vendor risk programs often scale faster than the teams that run them. Every new third-party relationship adds security questionnaires, evidence requests, and hours of manual follow-up. When a single vendor review can take 50+ hours, backlogs grow, reviews slow, and critical risks slip through. ‍ At the same time, vendor security postures change constantly.

How Data Lineage Improves Data Labeling and Classification

Feb 9, 2026 By Harry Yang In Cyberhaven
For many security teams, data labels create more friction than clarity. Analysts are buried in alerts driven by labels they don’t fully trust. Files are marked “sensitive” with little explanation and important context is missing. As a result, investigations often turn into manual triage exercises, with teams jumping between logs and tools just to determine whether an alert reflects real risk or harmless activity.

International AI Safety Report 2026: What It Means for Autonomous AI Systems

Feb 9, 2026 By Dania Durnas In Aikido
The International AI Safety Report 2026 is one of the most comprehensive overviews to date of the risks posed by general-purpose AI systems. It’s compiled by over 100 independent experts from more than 30 countries, and shows that while AI systems are performing at levels that seemed like science fiction only a few years ago, the risks of misuse, malfunction, and systematic and cross-border harms are clear. It makes a compelling case for better evaluation, transparency, and guardrails.

AI Agents Are The New Detection Problem Nobody Designed For

Feb 9, 2026 By Exabeam In Exabeam
AI agents now operate as core identities in enterprise environments, authenticating, accessing data, and executing workflows at machine speed. Their flexibility and scale introduce a detection challenge traditional security models were never built to solve. Exabeam has seen this pattern before with insider threat and workload identities. AI agents accelerate the need for identity-centric detection.
