Top tips: How to use public Wi-Fi without handing your data to a stranger

Top tips is a weekly column where we highlight what's trending in the tech world and list practical ways to explore these trends. This week, we are tackling something almost everyone does without thinking twice: connecting to public Wi-Fi (and what it could be costing you without you ever knowing). You are at an airport, a coffee shop, or a hotel lobby. You notice your data plan is running low and scroll through the available networks. And there it is: Free Wi-Fi—no password required.

Mastering Data Exfiltration Prevention in 2026

A lot of security programs still treat data exfiltration as a downstream consequence of compromise. That framing is too narrow. The global average cost of a breach reached $4.44 million in 2025 according to Varonis's summary of 2025 data breach statistics, and that cost lands on operations, legal, compliance, and executive credibility, not just the SOC.

Why Traditional DLP Breaks in Agentic AI

A customer support agent needs a payment reference, a token or transaction ID, to issue a refund. A summarization agent reading the same ticket needs none of it. A billing agent needs only the last four digits to match a transaction. A fraud agent needs the full credit card number, but only when a case is open and only for the account it is reviewing. Traditional DLP sees one thing across all four: sensitive data, a 16-digit string that matches a card pattern. It makes one choice: block, redact, or allow.

LangGraph Integration for Protegrity AI Developer Edition

See how Protegrity AI Developer Edition helps protect sensitive data in AI agent workflows built with LangGraph. This demo shows how Protegrity can fit into modern AI development pipelines as both a preprocessor and postprocessor guardrail, helping teams discover, protect, tokenize, mask, and redact sensitive data before it reaches an LLM — and before responses leave the application. In this video, you’ll learn how developers can.

Qubits vs Classical Bits - Understanding Quantum Computing For Your Data

Einstein called quantum entanglement "spooky action at a distance," but it’s actually a fundamental lesson in how particles share identical information. While classical bits are limited to 0 or 1, quantum bits (qubits) exist in a combination of both until the moment they are measured. Understanding these complex data states is essential as we move toward a future of quantum-resistant security and advanced AI. At Protegrity, we are dedicated to protecting your most sensitive data across every stage of the evolving digital landscape.

Protegrity Browser Protector: Zero-Trust Data Security for Web Apps (MV3)

Are you struggling to extend data protection to modern web applications without the friction of custom SDKs? Zero-Trust architecture and AI governance are no longer optional—they are operational imperatives. The Protegrity Browser Protector is a Manifest V3 Chrome extension designed to solve the "last mile" of data security. It allows authorized users to protect, unprotect, and mask sensitive information (like SSNs, PII, and financial data) directly within any web browser—without modifying the underlying application code.

The Hidden Security Risks of Unstructured Data in File Shares

Most organisations have a data problem they rarely see clearly. It is not always inside databases, CRMs, finance systems, or other structured platforms. More often, it is hidden in shared drives, old project folders, exported spreadsheets, PDFs, email attachments, archived documents, and duplicate files saved across departments. This is unstructured data. It is easy to create, easy to copy, and difficult to control. Over time, it can become one of the biggest blind spots in an organisation's cybersecurity and compliance strategy.

The Hidden NetSuite Delete-All-Data Risk: How to Recover Faster and Protect Historical Records

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platforms have become the operational backbone of modern organizations. Finance teams rely on them for reporting and compliance, operations teams depend on them for workflows, and executives use them to make business-critical decisions. Because of this reliance, most organizations assume their ERP data is always recoverable. However, one often-overlooked risk in cloud ERP environments is the possibility of large-scale data deletion, accidental overwrites, failed imports, or configuration changes that impact historical records.

Data on The Frontline: How Geopolitical Tensions Change Cybersecurity

Chris Jacob, Field CISO, Securonix There is a particular kind of unease that comes with geopolitical tension. It rarely arrives for security teams as one clean, obvious event. More often, it shows up as a change in tempo across the environment. Scanning increases and phishing attempts feel sharper. Then you start having leadership asking harder questions about exposure, suppliers, regions, and sensitive data.

AI Agent Security Explained: Agents, MCP, Prompt Injection, and the AI Harness

AI Agent Security is quickly becoming one of the most important areas in cybersecurity. Terms like "agent," "harness," "MCP," "tool calls," "tool responses," "instruction hijacking," "indirect prompt injection," "prompt exfiltration," and "tool misuse" are appearing in conference talks, vendor announcements, podcasts, and industry discussions, often without clear explanations.
