Master CIS Benchmark compliance: Simplify network security with automation

As a network admin, balancing optimized configurations with compliance requirements often feels like managing competing priorities. With networks growing more complex every day, achieving and sustaining compliance with the Center for Internet Security (CIS) Benchmarks can feel like a constant uphill battle. However, it doesn't have to be an overwhelming burden. The CIS Benchmarks offer practical, best practice guidelines for securing devices, systems, and applications against evolving threats.

Performance measurements... and the people who love them

Principal Engineer Kevin Guthrie walks us through his blog post, “Performance measurements… and the people who love them,” which explores how teams can better measure, visualize, and communicate web performance—beyond just raw metrics. Part of the “This Week in NET” show/podcast.

Verifying Bots and Agents with Cryptography in the Age of AI

In this episode, host João Tomé is joined in Cloudflare’s Lisbon office by our Senior Research Engineer Thibault Meunier to explore a new proposal that could reshape how bots interact with the web in the age of AI. Timestamps: We go into Cloudflare’s proposal of using cryptographic signatures for bots, enabling websites to verify their identity. Why is this important? As AI systems rely increasingly on online content, this standard could help build a better relationship between content creators and AI platforms.

Poison everywhere: No output from your MCP server is safe

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard and open-source project from Anthropic that makes it quick and easy for developers to add real-world functionality — like sending emails or querying APIs — directly into large language models (LLMs). Instead of just generating text, LLMs can now interact with tools and services in a seamless, developer-friendly way.

What Problems Can PAM Solve for My Organization?

Implementing a Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution can solve challenges like uncontrolled access to privileged accounts, insider threats, secret sprawl and lack of secure remote access.

Seven Risks of Not Having Privileged Access Management

According to Cobalt, the cost of cyber attacks is rising, with costs predicted to reach $15.63 trillion by 2029. This highlights the growing need for Privileged Access Management (PAM). Without a PAM solution, organizations face significant security and operational risks, including increased vulnerability to data breaches, insider threats, compliance failures and costly errors. Privileged accounts are prime targets for threat actors due to their elevated permissions and access to sensitive data.
