Compliance isn't optional: Why PAM is a must-have for audit readiness

After nearly two decades in cybersecurity and more customer conversations than I can count, one thing’s clear: no matter the industry, every organization is dealing with compliance headaches. Finance, healthcare, retail – it doesn’t matter. If you’ve got users with access to systems, you’ve got audit controls to worry about. And most of the time, people have way more access than they actually need. That’s where privileged access management (PAM) comes in.

Shadow AI: Examples, Risks, and 8 Ways to Mitigate Them

Shadow AI refers to the unauthorized or unmanaged use of AI tools, models, frameworks, APIs or platforms within an organization, operating outside established governance frameworks. While employees may adopt these AI tools with good intentions, seeking to enhance productivity or solve problems more efficiently, the lack of oversight creates significant security, compliance, and operational risks.

Checkups and Checklists: Cyber Risk Isn't Just a Technical Problem

There are many things in our lives we must prepare for to be ready. For other things, we wing it, or we're not prepared to deal with it at the moment. For me, I've reached that point in my life where I needed to have a medical procedure done, and it was something I've put off for several years. It may not be very comfortable to admit, but last week, I had a colonoscopy. That's not exactly how you'd expect a cybersecurity blog to start, but hear me out on this one!

What Is AI?

What is AI really? Throughout this article, I will remove the hype and get to the most honest answer ever. Artificial Intelligence, or AI, or at least the first version of how we think of it today, was “invented” in the 1950s…a long time ago. Since then, various computer scientists and groups have worked on different iterations, often using different names, including machine learning and neural networks.

Securing Payment Pages: PCI DSS 11.6.1 Guide

PCI DSS 11.6.1 (4.0) requires merchants and TPSPs to deploy change- and tamper-detection mechanisms that monitor and alert on unauthorized modifications to payment page scripts and HTTP headers, as seen in the customer’s browser. Monitoring must occur weekly or per a risk-based schedule. Tools like CSP, script behavior monitors, and alerting systems help ensure compliance and prevent e-skimming threats like Magecart.

Is Azure DevOps Down? How To Ensure Resilience

With the growing popularity of Azure DevOps comes an increased need for proper security of data being stored there. A large aspect of ensuring the security of Azure DevOps ecosystems lies in facilitating data resilience. This means to guarantee the availability to protect, keep, and recover data in case of any disruptions, both intentional and accidental.

How Browser-Level Signals Help Prevent Credential Stuffing Attacks

Credential stuffing attacks are one of the most persistent and damaging account-based threats facing security teams – and one of the hardest to detect. In 2024, Akamai, a global leader in content delivery and cybersecurity, reported more than 26 billion credential stuffing attempts globally every month – a staggering volume that’s not slowing down. Most enterprises rely on server-side, post-login detection, which captures only successful login attempts.

The Global Journey of Storytelling: Making Cinema Accessible Across Borders

Cinema has always been a powerful vehicle for storytelling. It carries emotions, identities, and histories across screens large and small, drawing in audiences from vastly different corners of the world. As the film industry becomes increasingly international, the process of making films accessible to global audiences has shifted from a technical afterthought to a strategic imperative. At the center of this transformation lies the question of cultural accessibility-how stories are shared, understood, and appreciated across linguistic and cultural boundaries.
