How GenAI adoption introduces network and security challenges [Q&A]
Enterprises are increasingly using GenAI to transform their organization. As they move ahead, they're evaluating their preparedness from a business, safety, skills, and product level. But there's another key factor at the backend that's being overlooked: the network.

Mobile-first phishing attacks surge as specific capabilities are targeted
As organizations increasingly rely on mobile devices for business operations, including multi-factor authentication and mobile-first applications, mobile phishing poses a severe risk to enterprise security.
New research from Zimperium's zLabs shows a surge in mobile-focused attacks, dubbed 'mishing', activity peaking in August 2024 with over 1,000 daily attack records. These attacks are specifically designed to evade desktop security measures, executing only on mobile devices.
New Connectivity Guru uses AI to streamline Wi-Fi troubleshooting
The average home now has multiple devices reliant on Wi-Fi connections and businesses have many times more. Users expect fast, consistent speeds, but troubleshooting problems can be complicated, leading to frustration, while service teams lack the visibility to diagnose issues beyond the router.
With the launch of its Connectivity Guru, TechSee is harnessing Agentic AI to transform the way Wi-Fi issues are diagnosed and resolved.
Companies block GenAI but workers still use it
A new report from Fortanix finds that 97 percent of companies block or restrict GenAI usage, and 89 percent of the respondents believe that such controls on usage are successful.
However, the same report -- based on a survey of 1,000 executives -- reveals that 95 percent of professionals use some form of AI, and 66 percent of respondents use GenAI for work, with 64 percent using personal email accounts to access the tools.
New platform helps enterprises take control of AI
Artificial intelligence is finding its way into more and more areas and that presents a challenge for businesses who need to keep things secure. Add in shadow use of AI and the problem becomes worse.

Deepgram launches improved AI-based voice transcription for enterprises
Accurate voice transcription is important for enterprises, whether it's to ensure appropriate responses or create accurate records.
However some situations make this challenging to achieve -- where there are multiple speakers or noisy backgrounds, for example. With the launch today of Nova-3, its most advanced speech-to-text (STT) model to date, Deepgram is looking to offer greater accuracy along with self-service customization to tailor results for industry-specific needs.
Enterprises under growing pressure to demonstrate readiness for cyber threats
A new study commissioned by Immersive Labs shows 96 percent of cyber leaders believe effectively communicating cyber-readiness to senior leadership and boards will be crucial in 2025, driven by regulatory compliance requirements and an increase in attacks.
The survey conducted by Sapio Research reveals that 49 percent of those surveyed report having experienced a cyberattack in the past year.
Incorporating 'secure by design' into the software supply chain [Q&A]
Developers historically have not been all that security savvy, but as software supply chain security becomes a larger and larger problem every day, enterprises are going to need to secure packages before they are put into production environments.
We spoke to Phylum CEO, Aaron Bray, to learn more about 'secure by design' and how it can make sure developers are being taught security as part of their development and training process and are also being provided with the necessary resources to code securely from the beginning.
GenAI is changing enterprise priorities with privacy a major concern
The latest Enterprise Cloud Index (ECI) survey from Nutanix shows that that while 80 percent of organizations have already implemented a GenAI strategy, implementation targets vary significantly.
Organizations are eager to leverage GenAI for productivity, automation, and innovation, but they also face critical hurdles in the form of data security, compliance, and IT infrastructure modernization. 95 percent of respondents agree that GenAI is changing their organization’s priorities
Shaping the future of cloud security with CNAPP [Q&A]
As cloud environments become complex, security teams face increasing challenges in detecting, prioritizing, and addressing risks.
While cloud security posture management (CSPM) tools were created to provide visibility into cloud configurations and cloud workload protection platforms (CWPP) to manage threats to cloud workloads, they created gaps in providing holistic context that enables efficient risk management and didn't extend across the full software development life cycle (SDLC).
Enterprises using inaccurate data to make business decisions
According to a new study of 750 business and tech leaders, 58 percent say key business decisions are based on inaccurate or inconsistent data most of the time, if not always.
The research from IT consulting and digital services provider SoftServe shows the majority don’t understand the value of their data with 65 percent of all respondents believing no one at their organization understands all the data collected and how to access it.
Over 60 percent of enterprise cybersecurity incidents relate to known risks
A new Cloud Risk Exposure Impact Report from ZEST Security shows that 62 percent of incidents are directly related to risks the security team had previously identified, researched fixes for, and had open tickets for remediation in the backlog.
The survey of over 150 security decision makers working in large US enterprises reveals that it takes 10 times longer to remediate vulnerabilities than it takes for attackers to exploit them, highlighting a significant advantage for attackers.
Why adopting AI needs a holistic approach [Q&A]
It's an increasingly rare system these days that doesn't claim to have incorporated artificial intelligence in some form or another.
