Broadcom’s recent announcement to retire the VMware Advantage Partner program has left many organizations questioning their virtualization strategy. As the dust settles on this major industry shift, understanding what these changes mean for your organization and how to navigate them quickly is all important. The transition affects thousands of VMware partners worldwide, but for customers and partners alike, one thing remains clear: the need for reliable, experienced partners has never been greater.

Encrypted cloud storage falls into two categories. Most services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Box, encrypt your files on their servers and hold the decryption keys, so the company can technically access what you store. A smaller group, including Internxt, Tresorit, and Sync.com, encrypts files on your device before upload, using keys only you control. The provider receives data it cannot read, and cannot hand anything over, even under a legal order.

At the Milken Conference in May 2026, Robert F. Smith, founder and CEO of Vista Equity Partners, described a shift that every security leader should hear. Software, he said, has moved through three states: product, then service and now worker. "That agent, that software, actually does work." Companies that do not make the transition to software as a worker, he was blunt, risk being disintermediated entirely.

A new report from the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has found that Americans lost $2.1 billion in 2025 to scams that began on social media. Nearly 30% of people who reported losing money to a scam said it started on social media, far outpacing other modes of contact.

In the past, authentication was just a login step. But as cybercrime has become more sophisticated, the role of authentication has grown. Now, the majority of breaches do not start with malware. They start with stolen credentials or access to an active session. Attackers can gain access to systems even when multi-factor authentication is in place. They use phishing to obtain login credentials or to send repeated approval requests. In some cases, they take over sessions by stealing the session token.

Security leaders at this SF area Summit examined AI agent risk, dependency governance, stale infrastructure, and the future of secure software.

The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) remains the bedrock of risk communication for many mid-market organizations. Assigning numerical values to vulnerabilities enables a unified dialogue among security researchers, vendors, and IT teams, ensuring everyone speaks the same language when a new threat emerges. However, relying on a static score is no longer enough to defend a modern enterprise.

Financial services cybersecurity has evolved into a prerequisite for institutional solvency, moving far beyond traditional perimeter defense into the realm of total digital operational resilience. As the industry scales toward hyper-connected API ecosystems and decentralized service delivery, the sector’s risk profile has expanded significantly.

The moment teams move from one cloud to two, identity governance starts to fracture. Roles don’t translate cleanly, and access reviews lag behind deployment velocity. Multi-cloud identity management is the practice of controlling who can access what across AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, SaaS tools, databases, and other cloud-connected systems.
