Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

A few years ago, when Michael and I started Zenity, most of the industry was not ready to hear what we believed. Software itself was changing. AI would let millions of people, not just engineers, build and automate real work. And securing that world would take a completely new approach, because we would no longer be protecting software. We would be protecting systems that think, decide, and act on their own.

Threat actors are actively exploiting two high-severity authentication bypass vulnerabilities, CVE-2026-18556 and CVE-2026-18577, in N-able N-Central, a widely deployed remote monitoring and management (RMM) platform used by MSPs and enterprise IT teams. N-able began investigating anomalous activity on July 31 and released an emergency hotfix (2026.3.1.7) on August 2, 2026, to remediate both vulnerabilities.

A ransomware note doesn’t take down a business. The weeks of downtime after it does. That’s the distinction I hear missed most in boardroom conversations about cyber risk. Leaders ask what it costs to stop an attack. The harder question, and the one that actually decides whether a business comes out the other side, is what it takes to keep operating while you recover from one.

AI didn’t just make defenders faster. It made attackers faster too. The moment both sides got access to the same speed, speed stopped being the advantage. With speed no longer separating attackers from defenders, the deciding factor moved somewhere else. Ask a CISO what’s actually kept agentic security out of reach, and it comes down to this: they can’t afford to build it, and even if they could, they’d struggle to trust it. Neither half of that problem outweighs the other.

When configuring storage on local servers or Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices, RAID and JBOD are the two common options. Both involve combining multiple drives into a single volume, but they differ significantly in how data is distributed, protected and accessed. Choosing the wrong configuration can lead to performance degradation or data loss. This post covers the differences between JBOD and RAID and identifies the optimal storage types for backups and VM datastores.

On World Wide Web Day (August 1), it’s worth celebrating what the web has made possible. It enabled remote work to function at scale, SaaS platforms to deliver capabilities in days instead of months and instantaneous collaboration through shared docs, chats, whiteboards and task tools that update in real time.

Learn how Google Drive encryption works, whether you can password protect Google Docs, and how to encrypt Google Drive files and folders for extra security. If you’re interested in encrypting or getting more privacy for your cloud storage with a Google Drive encrypted folder, then there are methods to encrypt files before uploading them to Google, or to password-protect a Google Doc.
