Safeguard 9.0 by One Identity is now available, built around three things privileged access teams care about most: less infrastructure to manage, a stronger case to bring to auditors, and coverage that reaches further into the systems your teams already rely on. Here's what's new.

Data sharing creates business value only when organizations can control where data goes, who can use it, and what happens after it leaves its original system. That becomes harder as businesses exchange customer records, financial information, healthcare data, and AI-ready datasets across employees, vendors, applications, and regions. The answer is not simply sending files through an encrypted channel.

For MSPs and service providers, a managed SASE offering needs to be repeatable across a small and midsize business (SMB) customer base, from selling and licensing, through provisioning and support. But traditional per-customer licensing can introduce friction every time a partner adds or expands a customer. That process can slow onboarding, add administrative work, and limit how partners allocate capacity.

Two-factor authentication (2FA) gives your WordPress login an extra verification step beyond the password. If someone gets hold of a password, they still need the second factor to access the account. This makes 2FA particularly useful for administrators, editors, store managers, members, and other users with access to important site functions. The right 2FA plugin depends on your site, user base, and the level of control you need over 2FA.

How long should an organization keep personal data? Under the DPDP Act, the answer is not simply one year, three years, or any other fixed period.

AI has rapidly evolved into a technology that takes action. AI agents can reason, access enterprise systems, and execute tasks autonomously at machine speed, often with the full permissions of the users they serve. As these agents proliferate across the enterprise, organizations need to understand where they operate, what they do, what they can access, and how to stop threats before they become breaches. This shift demands a new approach to AI security.

On August 31, 2026, CrowdStrike's Counter Adversary Operations team, in collaboration with international law enforcement and industry partners, executed a coordinated disruption of the Sality peer-to-peer (P2P) botnet, a criminal infrastructure that has operated with seeming impunity for more than two decades.

Telecommunications providers sit at the center of modern life, carrying the calls, messages, locations, account credentials, and identity data that connect billions of people and businesses. Which makes them uniquely valuable targets: criminals want subscriber records they can monetize, while nation-state actors want access to the networks themselves. The biggest telecom data breaches show how quickly weak security measures can escalate from a customer privacy incident into a national security event.
