Model Context Protocol (MCP) is gaining traction because it enables LLMs to interact with live systems and enhance context by retrieving and managing relevant real-time information. LLMs can’t query Salesforce, trigger an Okta password reset, or fetch context from your SIEM, for example. MCP bridges that gap by connecting AI models to real-world APIs, powering AI applications like retrieval-augmented generation and multi-step agent workflows. They’re fast to deploy.

Yes—if your website, app, or other online platform interacts with users located in California, CIPA may apply, even if your business is not physically based there. Enforced under California Penal Code §§ 631, 632, 632.7, and 637.2, CIPA was originally designed to stop wiretapping and unauthorized call recording. Courts are increasingly applying it to digital communications, including web chats, form submissions, and user behavior tracking. The challenge?

If you’ve been Googling things like “Do I need SOC 2 Type 1 or Type 2?” you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common questions we hear from businesses tackling SOC 2 for the first time. Whether you're a fast-growing SaaS start up, a fintech navigating due diligence, or a healthcare platform handling sensitive data, getting a clear handle on the difference between Type I and Type II can save you serious time, money, and frustration.

SCATTERED SPIDER is a prolific eCrime adversary that has conducted a range of financially motivated activities beginning in early 2022. Since surfacing, this adversary continues to compromise organizations around the world, deploying ransomware and exfiltrating sensitive files.

Strategic collaboration to advance security information and event management (SIEM) integration specifically tailored for the US federal government's Zero Trust architecture Elastic is proud to be officially recognized as an AWS Zero Trust for Government partner and for onboarding into the AWS Zero Trust Accelerator for Government (ZTAG) program in the US.

For years, separating day-to-day user activity from administrative tasks through secondary accounts was considered a security best practice. But as identity threats grow more sophisticated and cloud environments become more dynamic, this static model is showing its age. Today, modern identity security demands a shift—one that zero standing privileges (ZSP) are designed to deliver.

Secrets management is a foundational pillar of cloud security. It enables secure storage, rotation, and access control for application secrets. But in Kubernetes environments, secrets don’t just live in vaults; they move, execute, and often proliferate across clusters and containers. Without visibility into how secrets are used at runtime, organizations risk exposing sensitive data without realizing it.

Shadow IT is one of the most pressing issues in cybersecurity today. As more employees use unsanctioned browser extensions, productivity plugins, and generative AI tools, organizations are exposed to more risk. When these tools enter the environment without IT’s knowledge, they can create data exposure points, introduce new vulnerabilities, and make it easier for attackers to find privileged access paths. In many cases, the employee doesn’t even realize the risk they’ve introduced.
