Just-in-Time Access Policy Design for Cloud Security Teams

Just-in-Time access is widely accepted as a best practice for reducing standing privilege. The challenge for most organizations is not deciding to use JIT, but designing access policies that actually reduce risk without slowing engineers down. Security teams want tighter controls, stronger auditability, and less standing access. Engineering teams need fast, predictable access to do their work. When approval policies are too rigid, teams get blocked or work around controls.

Top 5 Enterprise Cloud Security Solutions to Consider in 2026

You’re likely dealing with a cloud footprint that grows faster than your ability to govern it. New workloads appear overnight. Developers spin up serverless services without telling security. SaaS systems store sensitive data outside your visibility. And identities connect everything together, which means one compromised token can trigger a multi-cloud incident. This constant expansion creates a monitoring gap—one that attackers understand better than anyone.

YOLO Mode: Hidden Risks in Claude Code Permissions

What permissions are developers granting to Claude Code, and could those permissions pose a risk if the coding agent were exposed to malicious inputs? To answer this question, we turned to GitHub, the website where developers go to share their private configuration files. From Github we collected a dataset of 18,470.claude/settings.local.json files, each containing the permissions that a user granted to Claude Code for a software project.

An actionable guide to GDPR compliance for startups

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the EU’s landmark law for data security and privacy, and is mandatory for any organization that processes the data of individuals within the EU. ‍ While GDPR compliance is a legal requirement, the framework also serves as a benchmark for ethical and transparent data management. For growing startups, aligning with the GDPR boosts credibility early on and signals customers and investors that privacy and trust are critical to the organization.

Vibe Coding and GenAI Security: Balancing Speed with Risk

If you think AI-generated code is saving you time and boosting productivity, you’re right. But here’s the problem: it’s also likely introducing security vulnerabilities. However, there are GenAI security practices that can be weaved into your workflow to help protect your apps. The software development landscape is shifting under our feet.

GreyNoise Findings: What This Means for AI Security

Late last week, GreyNoise published one of the clearest signals we have seen that AI systems are no longer just research targets. They are operational targets. Their honeypot infrastructure captured 91,403 attack sessions between October 2025 and January 2026, revealing two distinct campaigns systematically mapping AI deployments at scale. This is a meaningful inflection point.
