Top 10 Threat Intelligence Tools for 2026

In 2026, threat intelligence isn’t just about tracking malware families or IP reputation. It’s about catching the earliest signals of identity abuse: stolen credentials, suspicious logins, token misuse, and privilege escalation attempts that move fast through cloud and SaaS environments. Credential abuse remains a key initial access vector, accounting for 70% of breaches. In response, modern threat intelligence tools are prioritizing identity signals.

Agentic AI Risk Survey: Why CISOs Are Slowing Adoption

This week, we released our 2026 State of Agentic AI Risk Report, a global survey of 250 senior cybersecurity leaders examining how enterprises are approaching agentic AI as it moves closer to production. The findings point to a clear reality. While AI agents are advancing quickly, security leaders are deliberately slowing adoption. In fact, 98% of respondents say security and data concerns have already slowed deployments, added scrutiny, or reduced the scope of agentic AI initiatives.

10 Essential Tips For Cloud Identity Management

A handful of services quietly redeploy. No one directly manages the traditional network perimeter. But somewhere along the way, an API key ends up in the wrong place. The reality of modern cloud security is that new identities are created fast, and permissions are granted broadly to keep things moving. Over time, these permissions collect unused rights and drift away from least privilege.

Announcing Apono Assistant in Slack: AI-powered access requests where engineers work

Today, we’re excited to announce that Apono Assistant is now available in Slack. Apono Assistant is Apono’s AI-powered access assistant, built to help engineers request the right Just-in-Time access using natural language — especially in the moments where access forms fall short and users aren’t sure what to request. Now, that same AI experience is available directly in Slack, so engineers can get the access they need without leaving the tools they already rely on every day.

New Apono Report Reveals 98% of Cybersecurity Leaders Are Slowing Agentic AI Adoption Due to Insufficient Security Controls

Report finds growing tension between AI acceleration goals and security readiness as autonomous systems move toward production NEW YORK — February 2026 — Apono, the cloud-native Privilege Access Management platform securing human and agent identities, today released The 2026 State of Agentic AI Cyber Risk Report, a global study examining how enterprises are approaching agentic AI adoption amid rising security concerns.

How incident.io and Apono Enable Just-in-Time Access for Incident Response

Picture this: it’s 2am, your pager goes off, and you’re staring at a production database that’s on fire. You know exactly what’s wrong. You know exactly how to fix it. But you can’t touch anything because you’re waiting on someone to approve your access request. Meanwhile, your customers are down, your SLAs are bleeding out, and you’re refreshing Slack, and every minute you spend waiting is another minute of damage you could’ve prevented.

Are there any real alternatives to Akeyless in 2026?

Akeyless has earned its place as one of the strongest cloud-native secrets management platforms available. Their Distributed Fragments Cryptography technology, FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certification, and native DevOps integrations make them a popular choice for teams migrating away from self-hosted HashiCorp Vault. But Akeyless is not the right fit for every use case. Akeyless alternatives like SplitSecure split secrets across devices instead of cloud servers which reduces vendor dependency, third party risk and custody concerns.

11 Third-Party Vendor Privileged Access Best Practices

Third-party vendors are an essential part of modern enterprise operations, providing critical services such as infrastructure maintenance, application support, system integrations, and managed IT services. To perform these tasks, vendors often require remote access to internal systems, frequently with elevated privileges. While this access enables operational efficiency, it also introduces significant security risks if not managed properly.

6 Data Governance Principles You Need to Know

At some point, something bad always happens. Incidents like NHI sprawl and data ownership are always preventable. A supply chain attack finds its way either through upstream infiltration or downstream delivery. However, despite being aware of this, the problem persists. 54% of large organizations see supply chain challenges as a barrier to cyber resilience. There is complexity and interdependency among different systems, software, and teams that require access to one another.
