AI Security Misconfigurations: The Hidden Risk Behind Most AI Failures

Most organizations preparing for AI-driven threats are looking in the wrong direction. They're investing in advanced detection systems, anomaly tracking, and complex threat modeling-assuming the biggest risks will come from sophisticated adversaries exploiting AI itself. more →

Best 7 Platforms To Design And Deploy Cloud Architecture

Cloud architecture has changed. A few years ago, many teams could treat design and deployment as separate stages. Architects planned the environment, chose the services, documented the target state, and then handed the work to engineering or platform teams for rollout. more →

AI Is Ready. Is Your Data?

Justin Yan will bring a customer-inspired scenario to life through a demonstration - covering ETL pipeline construction, large-scale pipeline operations, and automated governance enforcement using AI agents. Participants are encouraged to question the approach and compare it against their own data challenges. This is not a conversation about doing the same work a little faster. It is a conversation about how the way enterprises deliver data is about to fundamentally change. more →

AI Application Delivery Breaks Down Between Experimentation and Production

According to industry research, only about 5% of enterprise AI pilots reach full production, while the majority stall in experimentation. As organizations accelerate investments in AI, a growing gap is emerging, not in model capability, but in the ability to operationalize AI systems reliably at scale. more →

OWASP Top 10 Risks for Agentic Applications: Must-Know Risk

The rapid evolution of AI has moved us beyond simple chatbots into the era of agentic applications, systems that can plan, reason, and act autonomously across multiple steps. From finance and healthcare to cybersecurity and DevOps, these agents are no longer passive assistants; they are decision-makers. more →

The Hidden Cost Of AI Speed: Unmanaged Cyber Risk

AI isn't just moving fast. It's creating new attack paths. Cyber teams must now manage vulnerabilities - and their ramifications throughout their IT environments - in AI tools deployed without enough governance guardrails. The answer for securing this new attack surface? Unified exposure management. more →

To What Extent Can Zero-Day Attacks Be Predicted?

Facts are intriguing, aren't they? But, they also reflect a lot that give us a direction to our security strategy that needs to be solid to avoid the consequences of a zero-day attack. Even though it's sound as a hypothesis, predicting a zero-day attack, however, there are proactive ways to prevent it, if not predict! more →

Mapping The AI Attack Surface: Vulnerabilities In The Model Lifecycle

Standard AI security benchmarks can't check for all of the possible ways an AI model can be compromised. A backdoor trigger could cause targeted failure, a competitor could clone your API model through repeated queries, or a privacy probe might reveal whether a specific person's data was used in training. more →

How Data Impact Investigation Accelerates Cyber Recovery

Let's say an unknown ransomware strain encrypts files across your environment. Or a mass deletion wipes out critical data. Or an automation agent silently overwrites files it shouldn't. When things like this happen in your enterprise, every team asks the same question: 'What actually happened to our data?' more →

Rubrik SAGE: Semantic Agent Control That Scales for the Enterprise

Most enterprise governance systems were designed for a world where software behaves predictably. You write a rule. The system follows it. If the input matches the pattern and the rule fires. This worked for decades because traditional software is deterministic-the same input always produces the same output. more →

Applying Zero Trust To MCP In AI Systems

Model Context Protocol (MCP) has quickly become a foundational building block for agentic AI. By standardizing how AI agents discover tools, retrieve context, and take action, MCP makes it dramatically easier to connect models to real systems. That ease of integration is exactly why teams are adopting it so quickly - and exactly why security teams are uneasy. more →
