Your AI deployment might be out of policy

Aug 7, 2026 By Dirk Schrader In Netwrix
Most AI deployment policies stop at approved chat interfaces. Meanwhile, employees install browser copilots, AI extensions, and third-party plugins that never touch Microsoft's management stack. IT can't configure what it can't see, and Group Policy and Intune only govern Microsoft's world. This post covers what actually happens once AI tools show up outside policy, five things most teams miss, and how PolicyPak enforces controls directly on the apps and browser extensions themselves.

Unveiling good and bad behaviors on the Agentic Internet

Aug 7, 2026 By Agents In Cloudflare
The Internet isn’t a single lane of traffic. For a long time, the rule of thumb in web security was that bots are bad, while humans are good. Of course, we’re far past this generalization. Humans can be fraudulent, and bots can be helpful at different levels. Site owners actively want some automated traffic to interact with our sites to make the Internet functional and discoverable. To complicate things further, the line between "human" and "bot" is blurring more and more.

Is an AI SOC Better Than MDR? What Security Teams Should Weigh

Is an AI SOC Better Than MDR? What Security Teams Should Weigh

Aug 7, 2026 By Kirsten Doyle In SecuritySenses
Security teams are expected to investigate more alerts than they have people to handle. IBM's 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report puts a number on what that gap costs: organizations take an average of 158 days to identify a breach, and a further 83 days to contain it. That is 241 days of exposure, the fastest pace in nine years, and still measured in months. For most SOC teams, the bottleneck was never finding threats. It was having enough people to do anything about them.

4 Easy Steps To Secure Mobile Field Work

Aug 7, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
A field tech at a customer site can log into a scheduling app, pull up an invoice, and snap a site photo in under five minutes while connected to open Wi-Fi. That mobile device holds customer addresses, signed work orders, access codes, account credentials, and job-site photos. Unlike an office workstation that sits behind a firewall and never leaves the building, a field device moves through unfamiliar networks and high-risk physical spaces daily.

Guide to Agentic AI Governance

Aug 6, 2026 By Michael Callahan In Salt Security
Agentic AI governance is about keeping powerful, autonomous AI systems aligned, safe, and accountable as they act on our behalf. It’s now a certainty that AI agents will be deployed enterprise-wide. So, we need to look more deeply into those agents, figure out where they are, how to find them, and fully understand what they are doing in deployment so we can prevent attacks. The most dangerous agentic attacks will not look like attacks at the layer where they originate.

How to Build a Durable AI Governance Program: A 3-Pillar Framework

Aug 6, 2026 By Kovrr | AI Security & Governance | Cyber GRC In Kovrr
AI adoption inside the enterprise has outpaced the governance built to contain it — 57% of employees have used AI tools for work without telling their manager. Policies get written and committees get formed, but exposure keeps accumulating, because data governance, AI oversight, and security are almost always run as three separate programs. In this video, Kovrr breaks down the three pillars that need to connect, and what separates a durable AI governance program from a documented one.
