When an electrician comes to fix something in your house, you wouldn’t just hand over the keys and leave. Instead, you’d stay to supervise and ensure everything is done correctly. Similarly, unmanaged endpoints accessing sensitive corporate data, such as contractor laptops, personal computers and call center systems, require the same level of oversight.

Modern workloads operate across a complex landscape—cloud platforms, virtualized environments, data centers and SaaS applications. Each requires its own authentication method, from static credentials and PKI certificates to cloud service account tokens. The rapid growth and diversity of workloads across various cloud platforms and infrastructures—each relying on a mix of secrets, API keys, access tokens and passwords—have pushed workload access complexity to the limit.

Adopting modern identity and access management (IAM) solutions is a crucial step in your security roadmap. Here are seven compelling reasons for organizations to make the switch to Cloud-based identity systems to unlock a range of identity security enhancements and expanding use cases.

Attackers are not just targeting your people. They have their sights set on your infrastructure, too. That's why identities (not perimeters) are the new attack surface. In our latest webinar, Ev Kontsevoy, CEO of Teleport, and Jack Poller, Principal Analyst at Paradigm Technica, break down why traditional identity and access approaches are insufficient to support resiliency in modern computing environments as attack surfaces increase and identity volumes explode. Their conclusion is clear.

You’ve heard it a hundred times – security is everyone’s responsibility. But when security starts slowing things down, it’s usually engineering teams that feel the pain. Nobody wants to be the one responsible for shipping vulnerabilities into production, but at the same time, nobody wants security to be the reason releases grind to a halt. This is the dilemma DevSecOps was supposed to solve – bringing security into the development process without breaking everything.

Mobile banking has quickly become a way of life — whether you're transferring cash on the go, checking your balance from your wristwatch, or paying dinner bills with a QR code. But with convenience, there is risk. Cybercrooks are tuning in, testing, and coming up with more ways to get in. From synthetic identities to fake apps, the threats are imminent and continuous.

With an information era in which information equals money and threats change daily, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a frontline watchman of the world against cyberattacks. From credential stuffing discovery to darknet monitoring capabilities, AI is empowering security teams with the capability to predict, identify, and defeat threats quicker than ever before. But while AI tools redefine defense systems, they also introduce new challenges of transparency, compliance, and ethical governance.

A newly disclosed vulnerability in Ivanti Connect Secure (ICS) VPN appliances has been weaponized in the wild by a Chinese nation-state threat actor, UNC5221. Tracked as CVE-2025-22457, this critical stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, posing a significant risk to enterprise networks.

On March 25, 2025, NIST released the initial public draft of NIST SP 800-228, "Guidelines for API Protection for Cloud-Native Systems." The document provides a comprehensive framework for securing APIs in cloud-enabled environments. However, for organizations looking to align with these objectives, the tooling requirements may seem initially overwhelming. Fortunately, Wallarm helps streamline the process by integrating many of these recommendations into a single, cloud-native solution.
