How to Monitor MCP Usage: A 10-Step Security Checklist for 2026

What you need to know: MCP can evade traditional DLP, IAM, and SIEM controls because agent traffic looks like authorized API calls, sensitive data is semantically transformed before it leaves the perimeter, and exfiltration happens through tool invocations rather than file transfers.

Standalone Browser Extension: Data Security Without the Endpoint Agent

Most enterprise data security tools are built for a world where IT owns and manages every device. That world no longer exists. Contractors work from personal laptops. Entire teams run ChromeOS. Frontline workers access corporate systems through shared or unmanaged devices. And every one of those browser sessions can involve uploads, downloads, copy-paste, and form inputs touching sensitive data.

DLP Buyer's Guide: 8 Criteria for Evaluating Data Loss Prevention Solutions

Every DLP evaluation starts with the same frustration: The tools that dominated the market a decade ago were built for a threat landscape that no longer exists. Sensitive data now moves across SaaS platforms, AI tools, encrypted messaging apps, and personal cloud accounts, often in ways no file-level policy can follow. If you are evaluating DLP for the first time or replacing a tool that has underdelivered, this guide gives you the framework to ask the right questions and recognize the right answers.

Data Sovereignty vs. Data Residency: Key Differences Explained

Storing data in a specific country doesn’t automatically mean that that country’s laws are the only ones that apply. This disconnect catches a lot of organizations off guard, and it’s exactly where the confusion between data sovereignty vs. data residency begins. One is about where your data physically lives. The other is about which laws govern it, regardless of location.

Why Endpoints are Still a Data Security Problem in the Age of AI

After decades of innovation in personal technology, ranging from watches that track personal fitness, mini super-computers that we call phones, and a whole host of other gadgets and self-help technologies, our companies still rely on one technology that started over 45 years ago – the laptop. Fun fact: the first one, called the Osborne 1, weighed 24 pounds! The modern laptop has a better screen, longer battery life, and weighs significantly less, but at its core is still a hard drive.

The Three Pillars of Durable Data Security: Presence, Lineage, and AI

Every security vendor now claims artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. Foundation models are becoming increasingly interchangeable, and the gap between what vendors promise and what programs actually deliver is widening. The question worth asking is not which vendor has the best model. It is: what is the model running on? The answer to that question determines whether a data security program hardens over time or requires constant manual maintenance.

How DSPM Improves Compliance for Enterprises

Regulatory compliance is one of the most operationally expensive obligations security and legal teams carry. GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, PCI DSS, and CMMC all require organizations to demonstrate, on demand, that they know where regulated data lives, who can access it, and how it is protected. Most enterprises struggle to meet that standard because they are trying to answer a continuous question with a periodic process.

Data Leak iPhone: Causes, Risks, and How to Protect Your Data

In 2023, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center recorded over 880,000 complaints, with billions lost. Many began with small actions on a phone. A data leak on iPhone often stems from user behavior like missed updates, weak passwords, or phishing links, rather than the device itself.
