1Password adds protection for agentic AI in the enterprise
Current AI models can perform many tasks such as generating text, but these are 'prompted' -- that is the AI isn't acting by itself. But this is about to change with the arrival of agentic AI.
Gartner estimates that by 2028, 33 percent of enterprise software applications will include agentic AI, up from less than one percent in 2024, enabling 15 percent of day-to-day work decisions to be made autonomously.
Enterprises change how they manage cyber risk
A new report from Zafran Security shows that enterprise risk management is shifting from volume to value, and from patching everything to fixing what matters most.
The study, carried out by Foundry MarketPulse, reveals that only one in 50,000 vulnerabilities actually pose a critical risk -- and the ones getting exploited the most are often old, quiet, and ignored.
What compliance with PCI DSS 4.0.1 means for businesses [Q&A]
The latest revision to the PCI DSS standard for protecting payment data, PCI DSS 4.0.1, was announced last year and came into force last month.
But what do these new requirements mean for businesses? We spoke to Simon Wijckmans, CEO at web security platform c/side, to find out.
Most enterprise hybrid Active Directory environments have critical vulnerabilities
A new survey of more than 1,000 IT and security professionals carried out for Cayosoft finds that 88 percent of enterprise hybrid Active Directory environments have critical vulnerabilities.
Microsoft Active Directory is a key element of enterprise IT, but the 2025 Active Directory Insights report identifies glaring gaps in resilience, security, and operational efficiency that could leave critical systems exposed to attack.
New watchdog platform designed to protect enterprise AI deployments
As enterprises turn to increasingly sophisticated AI applications and agentic AI workflows, the large cloud footprint required to support such complex systems has become critically difficult to secure.
To address this issue Operant AI is launching AI Gatekeeper, a runtime defense platform designed to block rogue AI agents, LLM poisoning, and data leakage wherever AI apps are deployed, securing live AI applications end-to-end beyond Kubernetes and the edge.
Flawed phone apps could risk enterprise data
Analysis of over 17,000 enterprise-used mobile apps by Zimperium zLabs finds that 92 percent of all apps and 56 percent of the top 100 apps use flawed cryptographic methods that could be putting organizations at risk.
Even more concerning, five percent of top 100 apps were found to have high-severity cryptography flaws including hardcoded keys and outdated algorithms.
Browser extensions leave enterprises open to attack
Despite being present on virtually every employee's browser, extensions and plug-ins are rarely monitored by security teams or controlled by IT and a new report shows that could be leaving enterprises at risk.
The study from LayerX Security combines statistics from real-life usage data from enterprise users, with data available from public extension stores to reveal how organizations and employees interact with extensions, the associated risks and security blind spots.
Gcore launches DDoS protection for enterprise infrastructure
Organizations are increasingly faced with complex DDoS attacks that disrupt operations, increase latency, and compromise network security.
Security solutions company Gcore is launching 'Super Transit', which is not a big van but a cutting-edge DDoS protection and acceleration feature, designed to safeguard enterprise infrastructure while delivering lightning-fast connectivity.
The devices that are exposing enterprises to risk
The enterprise device landscape is becoming much more complex and more dangerous, with the average device risk per industry increasing by 15 percent year-on-year.
A new report from Forescout highlights that network-connected devices, from traditional IT operating systems to specialized healthcare systems and OT machinery, are exposing organizations to damaging threats such as ransomware attacks and data exfiltration.
HPE launches new virtual private cloud solution
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is launching an expansion of its HPE Aruba Networking Central AI-powered network management solution, including a virtual private cloud environment.
This is aimed at customers who want the agility of cloud but with specific data security, data control or regulatory requirements, and an on-premises option that can operate while being disconnected from the cloud.
IBM brings new AI capabilities to the mainframe
IBM has announced what it's calling its most advanced mainframe to date, with major new AI capabilities.
Powered by a new IBM Telum II processor, the IBM z17 expands the system’s capabilities beyond transactional AI capabilities, enabling the platform to take on new workloads.
AI-driven video is ushering in a new era of collaboration
The shift to hybrid and remote jobs continues to redefine the modern workplace. For the past several years, video conferencing has made global collaboration possible, breaking down barriers that once made a fully remote workforce seem like a far reality. And while this technology will continue to be a core component of day-to-day business, it has only scratched the surface of how video can support increasingly dispersed teams.
In fact, it actually may no longer be enough to sustain remote environments. As workers and employers continue to clash around return to office (RTO) mandates and employee engagement reaches a record low, it’s clear that we need a new approach.
What NIS2 implementation means for enterprises [Q&A]
As cyberattacks across sectors continue to rise, businesses face pressure to enhance their security postures amid budget restraints and operational challenges.
In the EU, the new Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2) is making it mandatory for companies in Europe -- and those doing business with Europe -- to not only invest in cybersecurity, but to prioritize it regardless of budgets and team structures.
What businesses miss when protecting their data [Q&A]
No business is immune from the threat of cyberattack, but when it comes to protecting their most critical and sensitive data many feel they are inadvertently helping attackers through the leaking information.
We spoke to Paul Laudanski, director of security research at Onapsis, to learn about the most common errors and how to guard against them,
Developers get more confident in security but are still spending too much time on it
New research shows increasing confidence among developers at large organizations with regards to knowledge gained from security training, but they are still spending a considerable amount of time on security-related tasks.
The study from Checkmarx looks at the current practices of development teams in large enterprises as they work toward more mature states of development, security and operations (DevSecOps).
