Unless you lived under a rock for the past several months or started a digital detox, you have probably encountered the MCP initials (Model Context Protocol). But what is MCP? Is this just a glorified API call, or is there really something there? This post thoroughly explains what MCP is and why it makes LLMs more powerful. It also provides a comprehensive threat model analysis and reviews the fundamental security vulnerabilities.

This blog is the first part of a two-part series on post-quantum cryptography (PQC). In this piece, we explore why quantum threats are no longer theoretical. In Part 2, we’ll cover practical steps for building post-quantum readiness. Security leaders have become digital-first responders. They perform triage on multiple emergencies every day, except with fewer thanks and more acronyms.

We are in the middle of an AI gold rush. Generative AI (Gen AI) has exploded from research labs into everyday business workflows at breakneck speed. Marketing, software development, customer support, HR, companies across industries deploy Gen AI tools to boost efficiency, automate tasks, and gain an edge. But security trails behind. In the rush to innovate, organizations chase speed and visibility, leaving risk management behind.

India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023 is a turning point in how personal data is regulated, managed, and protected across the country. As every industry becomes more digital, this law makes it clear who owns data and who must protect it. The Act introduces a legal imperative and an operational opportunity for SOC managers, CISOs, DPOs, and IT security teams to revisit how data is collected, stored, shared, and protected.

Merchants, third-party service providers (TPSPs), CISOs, security architects, and e-commerce businesses preparing for PCI DSS 4.0 compliance.

Researchers at Google’s Mandiant have published a report on voice phishing (vishing) attacks, noting that these attacks have served as initial access points for recent waves of ransomware incidents. Threat actors often perform reconnaissance before launching social engineering attacks, collecting publicly available information in order to craft tailored, realistic scenarios.

Researchers at Google have published a report on the latest scam trends, noting an increase in travel-themed scams targeting people preparing for their summer vacations. “Ahead of the summer vacation season, our teams have observed a spike in travel scams,” the researchers write. “Fake travel websites lure users into booking travel with a promise of ‘too good to be true’ prices, experiences, or discounts.

Vibe coding might sound like a trendy term, but it's really just developing software without automated checks and quality gates. Traditional engineering disciplines have always relied on safety measures and quality controls, so vibe coding should be no different in my honest opinion.
