NIST Privileged Access Management: Complying with the NIST Requirements

Privileged accounts are the crown jewels of any IT environment. Admin credentials, root access, service accounts. These are what attackers go after first, because compromising one can hand them the entire organization. Forrester puts the number at 80% of security breaches involving privileged accounts. NIST frameworks, particularly SP 800-53, exist to make sure you're not leaving that door unlocked.

OAuth vs. API Keys for AI Agents: Why Static Credentials Break in Production Systems

How do you ensure AI agents authenticate when they interact with your entire enterprise ecosystem when you aren’t there to watch their every move? Today, AI agents can do many things autonomously. They can update CRM records, create tickets, trigger workflows, modify data, and just about anything. The importance of authentication increases as they become more autonomous day by day. For years, API keys were the easy default for connecting applications to APIs.

Top 10 Application Security Risks (2026 Edition)

You already know the threats are getting worse. What’s harder to articulate — especially to leadership — is exactly how they’re getting worse, and what’s slipping through the cracks in your current program.

The Four Biggest Gaps in Today's AI SOC Vendor Market

A year ago, a handful of vendors called themselves an “AI SOC.” Today, more than 100 do. The label now means whatever the person selling it needs it to mean, leaving security teams to buy very different products under the same two words. So let’s sort the market.

AWS Summit 2026: Autonomous Security Is Here. Turning It Into Outcomes Requires a New Operating Model

At the recent AWS Summits in New York and Toronto, Arctic Wolf was present to hear AWS introduce a set of security capabilities built to run continuously and act at machine speed. New approaches to vulnerability management, deeper integration of security into development workflows, and expanded context through knowledge mapping all point in the same direction: Security operations are becoming persistent, automated, and increasingly driven by AI.

From CitrixBleed 2 to Cloudflared: The Tools and Techniques Behind Anubis Ransomware Attacks

Throughout 2026, Arctic Wolf has investigated multiple Anubis ransomware intrusions. Although threat actor tradecraft differs between intrusions, key themes have emerged: abuse of VPN infrastructure, blending in with legitimate activity through the use of Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) solutions, and using other legitimate binaries on victim devices.

The evolving fraud landscape in the age of AI with Tamas Kadar [334]

Today we're speaking with Tamas Kadar, CEO / Co-Founder of SEON, about building a safer digital world for businesses. We touch on fraud, how it's evolved in the age of AI, and what we can do to protect ourselves against it. Tamas' entrepreneurial path began at Corvinus University in Budapest, where the vision for SEON first took shape. Co-founding a cryptocurrency exchange opened his eyes to the scale and complexity of online fraud, sparking the idea for something better. In 2017, that “something better” became SEON.

What Is Privacy-by-Design and Why Is It Important?

Every AI application relies on data. From customer conversations and healthcare records to financial transactions, organizations process enormous volumes of sensitive information every day. As AI adoption grows, so does the need to protect that data from misuse, exposure, and compliance risks. This is why understanding what privacy by design entails has become a business necessity rather than just a compliance requirement.

Browser Security: Zero-Days Are Only Part of the Problem

The browser is the operating environment for modern work — it’s where employees access email, SaaS applications, collaboration tools, HR systems, finance platforms, customer data, developer resources and AI services. All of this activity makes the browser a high-value target for attackers because it sits between users, identities, applications, and sensitive enterprise data.
