Shadow AI: A Wake-Up Call for AI Security and Governance

In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, the allure of AI tools and agents is undeniable. They promise enhanced productivity, innovative solutions, and a competitive edge. With more tools and platforms available that democratize the usage and creation of AI systems, there is a surge in AI tools that are being built, customized, and deployed for business operations. However, the gold rush for AI comes with significant risks that cannot be ignored.

Top Ten Tips to Choose a Great SAST Tool

Static application security testing (SAST) has matured from a gate-at-the-end to a developer-first discipline. Forrester’s Static Application Security Testing (SAST) 2025 landscape report highlights why: attack volume is rising, code is released at least monthly in one in four teams, and AI generated code is flooding pipelines with even more code to secure. The tools that succeed are those that shorten mean time to remediate (MTTR) while fitting the way modern teams build.

Key Security Considerations When Scaling In House

If you are looking to expand your capabilities by scaling up your in-house servers and storage solutions, it's always best to take a security-first approach. For the most part, scaling up will consist of the same security measures - both physical and digital - being scaled up equally. However, there may be some additional factors that you should consider, for example how you plan to scale and the equipment that you intend to bring on.

Solana In The Spotlight: Will 2025 Be Its Breakout Year?

The Solana platform, acclaimed for its speed, scalability, and innovation, was established back in 2017 by Anatoly Yakovenko, a skilled software engineer with experience at Qualcomm. Solana supports high-speed and low-cost transactions on a single-layer blockchain. This means that decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, game finance (GameFi) apps, and decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) networks can scale without requiring major infrastructure changes. Solana's chief innovation is speed. It can process approximately 65,000 transactions per second, so it's considerably faster than Ethereum.

Aviation Training Meets Global Demand: How a U.S. Flight School Is Empowering International Talent - with $10,000+ in Tuition Savings

Aviation has long been considered one of the most tightly regulated and security-conscious industries in the world. As global cybersecurity concerns expand beyond digital firewalls to physical domains - including transportation, air traffic systems, and supply chain logistics - pilot training has become part of a broader conversation around operational safety and human reliability.

Random but Memorable - Episode 14.8: World Password Day Special

It’s our World Password Day Special! Tune in as we answer all your burning questions about passwords, passkeys, 2FA and more. In Watchtower Weekly, we debate why your next security hire might be an algorithm. Sticking with the password theme, we then discuss why Gen Z still reuse passwords despite being aware of the security risks. If that wasn’t enough, in Alternative Security Questions we ask Roo, Sara, and Matt what they would hoard in a zombie apocalypse.

Lights Out and Stalled Factories: Using M.A.T.R.I.X to Learn About Modbus Vulnerabilities

Let’s explore the critical role of Modbus in energy and manufacturing systems, then demonstrate real-world exploitation techniques using Docker-based simulations and the custom-built Python tool M.A.T.R.I.X. The danger here is an attacker who gains unauthorized access to a misconfigured Modbus TCP server can send malicious write commands to turn coils ON or OFF, thereby illegally activating or deactivating physical devices.
