AI agents need broad access to be useful, but traditional access controls cannot determine whether an action aligns with a user's intent. Varonis explains how Agent IBAC detects intent drift and enforces real-time guardrails to keep agents within their intended boundaries. [...]

Attackers are adapting established techniques to AI platforms, emerging technologies, and changing user behavior. ESET's new threat report examines the rise of malicious AI skills, AI-assisted malware, ClickFix attacks, record quishing activity, and ransomware tools designed to disable security software. [...]

As age verification laws expand worldwide, organizations face growing pressure to protect users' privacy while meeting regulatory requirements. Incode explains how on-device age estimation verifies age without transmitting or storing facial images, reducing biometric privacy risks while supporting compliance. [...]

Residential proxies are no longer the silver bullet they once were for carding. Flare explains why cybercriminals increasingly seek "clean" residential proxies and combine them with browser fingerprints, device profiles, and other identity signals to evade modern fraud detection. [...]

AI agents are accelerating the growth of non-human identities, making it harder for organizations to understand what exists, who owns it, and what it can access. Netwrix explains why stronger visibility and identity governance are essential as AI expands the enterprise attack surface. [...]

Security operations don't slow down when IT teams take vacation, but staffing levels often do. Kaseya explains how AI-driven automation can help organizations maintain consistent security operations and reduce reliance on manual processes year-round. [...]

AI won't replace GRC analysts, but it can eliminate much of the repetitive work they do. Anecdotes walks through building an agent that continuously monitors controls, identifies evidence gaps, and opens remediation tasks. [...]

Fraudsters don't attack just one transaction. They target accounts, platforms, and entire ecosystems. IPQS explains the four elevations of fraud prevention and why broader visibility improves fraud detection. [...]

AI agents can access data, trigger workflows, deploy code, and interact with critical business systems, often with little oversight. Token Security breaks down why AI agents are becoming a new identity and governance challenge. [...]

Microsoft 365 helps keep services running, but protecting and recovering business data remains your responsibility. Acronis breaks down five gaps organizations should consider when evaluating Microsoft 365 data protection. [...]
