Selling to the Government? Here's What CMMC Means for You

Jul 1, 2026 By CalCom Software In CalCom
CMMC Phase 2 enforcement lands in November 2026, and C3PAOs are already warning about assessment capacity. If your configuration management domain isn't audit-ready, this is the walkthrough to fix that. Roy Ludmir breaks down what changed in enforced CMMC as of November 2025, what auditors actually test versus what they just ask about, and where most organizations get stuck below full compliance — plus which security baselines to standardize on and how to build an evidence package that holds up under a real assessment.

Evaluating AI Security Posture Management Tools: 7 Key Criteria

Jul 1, 2026 By Tiffany Jennings In Mend
Evaluating AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM) tools is a critical process for organizations integrating AI, specifically Generative AI (GenAI) and Large Language Models (LLMs), into their workflows. Unlike traditional security tools, AI-SPM focuses on the unique risks of AI, including Shadow AI, prompt injection, data poisoning, model theft, and improper model configuration.

Where Severity Scores Go Wrong: "Just Add Prototype Pollution"

Jul 1, 2026 By Tamir Friedman In JFrog
At JFrog, our Security Research team continuously monitors and analyzes newly disclosed CVEs across the open-source ecosystem. Throughout our research, we have repeatedly observed cases where the assigned severity score does not accurately reflect a vulnerability’s real-world impact or exploitability. In fact, during 2025, JFrog researchers reassessed NVD critical-severity vulnerabilities and concluded that 96% warranted a lower severity rating.

Why Your Asset Counts Are Wrong (And What to Do About It)

Jul 1, 2026 By Tony Ramirez In Nucleus
If you've ever pulled an asset count from one tool and compared it to another, you've probably noticed they don't match. The discrepancy isn’t minor, either. The difference is likely to be substantial. One scanner says you have 4,200 assets. Your CMDB says 3,800. Your cloud inventory says 1,100. None of them agree, and none of them are right. That's not a data hygiene problem you can solve with a spreadsheet cleanup.

RBAC implementation: building effective role-based access control

Jul 1, 2026 By Netwrix Team In Netwrix
Most organizations already run something they call role-based access control, yet permissions keep accumulating through ad hoc approvals and unreversed role transfers. RBAC holds up only when roles are designed from business functions and least privilege, validated against effective access first, and maintained through governance tied to HR-driven lifecycle events. Without that discipline, the model drifts back into access sprawl.
