Evaluating AI Security Posture Management Tools: 7 Key Criteria

Jul 1, 2026 By Tiffany Jennings In Mend
Evaluating AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM) tools is a critical process for organizations integrating AI, specifically Generative AI (GenAI) and Large Language Models (LLMs), into their workflows. Unlike traditional security tools, AI-SPM focuses on the unique risks of AI, including Shadow AI, prompt injection, data poisoning, model theft, and improper model configuration. When assessing AI-SPM tools, security leaders should prioritize the following capabilities.

Selling to the Government? Here's What CMMC Means for You

Jul 1, 2026 By CalCom Software In CalCom
CMMC Phase 2 enforcement lands in November 2026, and C3PAOs are already warning about assessment capacity. If your configuration management domain isn't audit-ready, this is the walkthrough to fix that. Roy Ludmir breaks down what changed in enforced CMMC as of November 2025, what auditors actually test versus what they just ask about, and where most organizations get stuck below full compliance — plus which security baselines to standardize on and how to build an evidence package that holds up under a real assessment.

RubyGems supply chain attack: malware used as a credential exfiltration dead drop

Jul 1, 2026 By Maciej Mensfeld In Mend
Package registries have a well-known abuse pattern: attackers upload malicious packages, and unsuspecting developers install them. Our researchers just found the pattern working in reverse, in a RubyGems supply chain attack that turns the registry into a place to stash stolen data rather than deliver it.

Automating SonicWall Certificate Deployment with the SonicOS API

Jul 1, 2026 By Jordan Griffin In CertKit
How do we keep our Sonicwall certificates up to date as certificate lifetimes get shorter? We’re already at 200 day certs with 100 then 47 day certificates coming soon. A certificate you used to touch once every year now needs replacing up to twelve times a year. Doing this by hand is out of the question, no one has the time. Even if they did, the frequent updates is just asking for mistakes. Luckily, this can be automated using the SonicOS API.

Runtime Incident Classification: Turning a Noisy Alert List Into a Triage Decision

Jul 1, 2026 By Ben Hirschberg In ARMO
Here is a scene every security team knows. A reverse shell opens a connection to an external address, pulls a service-account token, and starts moving against your cloud identity. Two rows below it on the same dashboard sits a payload that hit a front-end container and never executed. Both are tagged high severity. Both are competing for the same analyst’s attention at the same moment.

Top Remote Access Software Providers Ranked by Security, Features, and Business Value

Top Remote Access Software Providers Ranked by Security, Features, and Business Value

Jun 30, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
Choosing a remote access tool is a security decision before it is a convenience one, because every session is a potential doorway into your systems. The top remote access software providers ranked here are judged on three things that matter to security-conscious organizations: how well they protect each connection, how complete their feature set is, and how much value they deliver for the price. Splashtop leads because it scores highly on all three, pairing bank-grade security with the performance and pricing that suit teams of any size.

Quantum is the least interesting part of quantum certificates

Jun 29, 2026 By Todd H. Gardner In CertKit
On June 3, Let’s Encrypt announced that the post-quantum web is going to run on something called Merkle Tree Certificates. The internet did what it does and turned this into a doomsday Q-Day countdown. The quantum computers are coming, your certificates are about to break, panic! Unlike every other security vendor, I’m not worried about quantum computers. But the announcement is still worth your attention. Just not for the reason you’ve been told.

GLM 5.2 vs Opus 4.8: Cheaper AI Code, Hidden Risks?

Jun 29, 2026 By Snyk In Snyk
GLM 5.2 just launched from Z.ai, and it might be one of the biggest threats yet to the frontier model premium. It’s open, significantly cheaper than Claude Opus 4.8, and claims to deliver near-frontier coding performance across major benchmarks. But benchmarks only matter if the model can actually build something production-ready.

PostgreSQL: How to Control and Audit Agent Access with Identity

Jun 26, 2026 By Megan Moore In Teleport
AI agents querying databases pose well-documented risks. What gets less attention is the fact that PostgreSQL has no native concept of an agent as a distinct actor. This means DBAs are managing access for something that appears in pg_stat_activity like any other role created with CREATE ROLE, with no distinguishing attributes and no indication of who or what initiated the connection. AI agents have no distinct identity when interacting with PostgreSQL.
