Why identity security is foundational for crypto agility in the post-quantum era

Feb 9, 2026 By Nicolas Malbranche In CyberArk
Cryptographic failures have a knack for turning a quiet weekend into a chaotic, all-hands-on-deck emergency. Consider the SHA-1 to SHA-2 deprecation, sometimes referred to as “Shapocalypse,” which sent teams scrambling to reissue thousands of certificates and exposed how many legacy systems weren’t ready for stronger hash algorithms. The major Certificate Authority (CA) distrust events involving DigiNotar in 2011, Symantec in 2017-18, and Entrust in 2024-25 created similar disruption.

7 ways synthetic identity fraud is changing in 2026

Feb 4, 2026 By Louis DeNicola In Persona
Synthetic identity fraud used to be a specialty fraud job. Bad actors created synthetic identities by modifying personal information, combining multiple real identities, or combining real and fake information. But building up identities convincing enough to pass muster took time, research, and effort. As a result, you typically saw synthetic identity fraud when bad actors targeted organizations that could pay off in a significant way.

Contain the SSO blast radius: Identity security beyond MFA

Feb 4, 2026 By Eric Sun In CyberArk
Over the past week, multiple research teams have documented a renewed wave of voice-led social engineering (vishing) targeting identity providers and federated access. The entry point is not through malware or a zero-day exploit. The goal is simple. Persuade a user to help complete authentication in real time, then use that trusted session to move through SaaS applications and exfiltrate data. Security leaders already know the fundamentals. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) can be socially engineered.

Innovation at Speed: Why Machine Identity Security Is Now a Boardroom Priority

Innovation at Speed: Why Machine Identity Security Is Now a Boardroom Priority

Feb 3, 2026 By Dave McGrail, Head of Business Consultancy In Xalient
CEOs across the manufacturing sector remain optimistic about the potential of digital transformation to boost productivity, efficiency, and competitiveness. Yes - manufacturers face a double bind - innovate fast (and potentially feel pain) or risk falling behind; but every step forward expands the attack surface. This sits alongside a stark reality: the manufacturing sector now suffers 26% of all cyberattacks, making it one of the most targeted industries globally. However, the most significant emerging threat is not always the one that leaders expect.

AI agents are forcing a reckoning with identity and control

Feb 3, 2026 By Ariel Pisetzky In CyberArk
Most organizations never planned for AI to start making real decisions. They started with simple helpers. An agent answered basic questions or generated small automations so teams could avoid opening another IT ticket. It felt harmless. But as these agents become more capable and more autonomous, they begin operating across systems at machine speed. They connect tools, provision access, and trigger chained actions long after the original request.

Identity & Access Management (IAM) Metrics Every CISO Must Track in 2026

Feb 3, 2026 By Minal Purwar In miniOrange
Consider a common scenario: Your organization has allocated millions toward firewalls, endpoint protection, and advanced threat detection systems. Your security operations team maintains continuous monitoring through sophisticated dashboards. Yet, despite these comprehensive defenses, an attacker can gain unauthorized access using nothing more than compromised credentials and a hijacked service account. This is where identity and access management metrics play a key role.
