Microsoft Sentinel is Microsoft’s cloud-native SIEM for detecting, investigating, and responding to threats across your environment. To query security data and run analytics rules, Sentinel expects telemetry data in specific table schemas. But firewall, VPN, and network detection logs arrive in vendor-specific formats, making source-specific mappings difficult to maintain as environments grow.

Modern data security depends on understanding sensitive data as it is created, accessed, and moved in real time directly on the endpoint. In addition to identifying predefined patterns such as credit card numbers or Social Security numbers, organizations must protect unstructured information including documents, chat logs, support tickets, AI prompts, medical records, and free-text fields.

If you've glanced at a vulnerability tracker lately, the numbers look alarming. The Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST) now projects roughly 66,000 CVEs will be published in 2026; up from a February forecast of 59,427 and closing in on 70,000 by some counts. That would follow a record 2025, which finished at roughly 48,000 disclosed CVEs, itself a sharp climb from about 40,000 the year before. It's tempting to read that curve as a sign that software is getting worse. It isn't.

Most security stacks still find out about stolen credentials the hard way: when an attacker logs in with them. Sometimes the first warning sign is a customer complaint or a call from law enforcement. Dark web monitoring services for business close that gap by watching underground sources for any exposure tied to your domains, employees, code, and brand, so you can reset access before someone else gets there first.

Security leaders who already use the NIST Cybersecurity Framework often assume it covers AI, but it doesn't. The Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) protects the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the systems around a model. Outcome risk from model decisions is a different job.

CVE-2026-70756 is a vulnerability in the Core component of Oracle WebLogic Server, part of Oracle Fusion Middleware. An unauthenticated attacker with network access over the T3 or IIOP protocols can compromise the server and take full control of it. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (Critical). Oracle rates it as easily exploitable, with no privileges and no user interaction required. Confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts are all rated high.
