Sophos Firewall and Synchronized Security Synchronized Security is a unique capability you won’t get anywhere else. If you look at what’s required to properly secure a modern network, it breaks down into three pillars: hardening, protection, and detection and response.

Why AI-era attacks demand deterministic defense

May 20, 2026 By Thomas Kinsella In Tines
The security industry spent a good chunk of early 2026 debating whether Anthropic’s Mythos and OpenAI’s Daybreak are truly dangerous or just good marketing. It's a reasonable debate. But while we're having it, attackers are asking a different question: how do we use tools like this to move faster than defenders can respond?

AI Agents, Enterprise Scale, No Compromises: Now via AWS

May 20, 2026 By Ben Kliger In Zenity
A couple of years ago, AI agent security was a niche conversation. The practitioners who took it seriously were a small group of researchers, a handful of forward-looking CISOs, and a few founders who had watched the attack surface forming in real time. The broader market hadn't caught up yet. It has now. Enterprises are deploying AI agents at scale across platforms. The productivity gains are real. The competitive pressure to adopt is real.

The Authorization Trap: Why Your IAM Controls Don't Cover AI Agent Risk

May 20, 2026 By Cinthia Portugal In Zenity
If there's one idea that shaped RSA 2026, it was identity. Vendor booths, keynotes, conversations. All roads led back to the same instinct: control identity, control access, control risk. That instinct is directionally correct. Identity governance is foundational. But identity answers only part of the question agentic AI is asking.

May 20, 2026 By Venkatesh Sundar In Indusface

May 20, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
University today has changed drastically, and you will see how much it has changed. Campuses are more open than they used to be. Students move between physical and digital spaces. Events, visitors, and third-party vendors are part of daily operations. All of this creates opportunity. It also introduces risk. Maintaining safety at university in such an environment requires more than cameras or guards. It needs a system built with intention. One which is mindful of how a campus actually functions, not how it looks on paper.
