What Marketing Trends Should Businesses Pay Attention to in 2027?

Marketing trends have a habit of arriving with dramatic predictions. Email is dead. Search is dead. Websites are dead. Social media has changed forever. Artificial intelligence will replace every marketing department by Tuesday afternoon. Reality is usually less theatrical. Most major marketing channels do not disappear overnight. Instead, the way people use them changes. Search evolves. Social platforms develop new roles. Video becomes easier to produce. New technology changes expectations. Customers become more selective about what earns their attention.

When Broken Links Become Security Vulnerabilities

Imagine a link on your website stops working. You notice the problem, add it to your backlog, and move on. A few months later, the link starts working again. At first glance, that sounds like good news. In reality, it could mean that someone else now controls the destination. Fortunately, this is not what usually happens. In most cases, a broken link is simply a maintenance issue. A page has been moved, deleted, or renamed. Visitors encounter an error, someone eventually fixes the link, and the story ends there.

19 Best AI Visibility Tools with MCP Servers in 2026 (Ranked)

AI visibility work now happens in the same conversations where strategy already lives. Analysts draft in Claude, engineers debug in Cursor, and content leads paste ChatGPT screenshots into Slack threads that never become a ticket. Model Context Protocol (MCP) is what turns those screenshots into objects a model can query, filter, and act on. An MCP server exposes visibility scores, citation lists, advertiser intelligence, and even brief generation as tools the model can call mid-sentence, against live data, without a CSV hop. That timing matters because answer engines rewrite outputs daily.

Wild code: You can't govern what you can't see

AI changed who can build. Employees across the business can now create workflows – apps, agents, and automations, faster than ever before. The result is a growing wave of “wild code”: AI-generated software, automations, and agents that solve real business problems but exist outside traditional governance, operational ownership, and support models. For IT, this creates a new challenge. How do you empower teams to move quickly without creating more risk, complexity, and technical debt? How do you support innovation without opening the door to shadow AI, data leakage, and unmanaged systems?

OT vulnerability management for Windows and Linux workstations

OT vulnerability management for Windows and Linux workstations means discovering, assessing, prioritizing and remediating, or deliberately mitigating, software flaws on the general-purpose computers that run supervisory control, historian and engineering functions inside a plant, without disrupting the physical process those computers support. That definition already implies a second, separate layer: the PLCs, RTUs and field devices that this same approach cannot safely touch.

The AI SOC is commoditized. Here's why building our own is the next frontier.

If you walked the floor at Black Hat this year, you likely noticed a glaring trend: the AI Security Operations Center (SOC) is no longer a bleeding-edge novelty. It’s officially a commodity. With close to 70 AI SOC platform companies vying for attention, the market is completely saturated. What was once the hottest standalone category in cybersecurity is rapidly becoming a standard feature.

ParaShells: Parallels Desktop Turns Appliance Install Into a Root Shell

Your Mac runs a vulnerable version of Parallels Desktop. A malicious package, compromised CI job, or other unprivileged process is already running on it. No admin access. No Parallels-signed client. One appliance-install request later, attacker-controlled code runs as root. While testing Desktop 26.4.0 (build 57513) on Apple silicon, we found that an unprivileged local user could execute code as root through prl_disp_service.

MSP Perspectives 2026: The evolution of the MSP cybersecurity value proposition

MSPs are no longer simply being asked to manage technology; increasingly, customers are expecting them to provide cybersecurity leadership, deliver compliance programs, and guide security investment. Sophos’ 2026 MSP Perspectives Report reveals how demand for cybersecurity leadership, maturing compliance offerings, and the battle for scale are all shaping the managed services market.
