The best AI security tools for small and mid-sized businesses do more than detect risky AI use: they show which generative AI tools employees actually use, they let you govern which AI apps are allowed, monitored or blocked, they stop sensitive data from leaving in a prompt, and they defend against harmful prompts, including prompt injection. Most organizations now run AI without that visibility or control. AI use has moved into the mainstream.

Microsoft is making a major change to the authentication experience in Microsoft Entra. The company has announced the retirement of Microsoft-provided SMS and Voice MFA, with passkeys set to become the default sign-in method. This shift reflects Microsoft's broader push toward phishing-resistant authentication as organizations face increasingly sophisticated phishing, social engineering, and AI-driven attacks.

Every LMS rollout starts the same way: pick a platform, upload the courses, get people logged in, move on. Then a second platform gets added. Then a certificate program. Then a separate tool for employee onboarding. Each one arrives with its own login screen, and everyone downstream, students, instructors, IT, ends up managing another password. Single sign-on solution for LMS fixes that.

The answer changed on a specific date. Until the start of 2026, most organizations were covered for AI losses by silence rather than by grant, because policies neither affirmed nor excluded AI and the question would have been argued at claim time. On January 1, 2026 the standard forms organization introduced generative AI exclusion endorsements for commercial general liability, and carriers began attaching them at renewal. ‍

Three organizations had their production systems compromised by an AI model in April, and found out in late July when the model's developer called them. None of them had detected the activity. One was a security company whose own package scanner was the entry point. ‍ Anthropic published that account on July 30, nine days after OpenAI disclosed a related incident of its own.

A bank isn’t just a vault holding money. It is an engine powered by implicit public trust, sustained by the continuous confidence that funds remain secure and accessible on demand. When operational risks fail, whether through cyber breaches, system outages, or third-party vulnerabilities, that trust shatters, threatening not just an individual institution, but the stability of the entire financial network. This is why regulatory oversight goes beyond standard compliance.

Organizations are increasingly turning to third-party providers to navigate a cybersecurity landscape marked by expanding attack surfaces, fragmented technologies, and growing operational complexity. MSPs deliver specialized capabilities, round-the-clock protection, and multi-environment expertise, helping internal teams mitigate risks that are difficult to manage on their own.

EDR (endpoint detection and response) is no longer an enterprise-only technology. SMBs face many of the same attacker techniques as larger organizations, but generally have fewer security and recovery resources available to contain the impact. Modern EDR platforms, especially when delivered through MDR (managed detection and response) and extended where needed with XDR (extended detection and response), make enterprise-grade protection operationally feasible for MSPs to deliver to SMB clients.

Since we launched Certificate Transparency Monitoring in public beta in 2019, we've been emailing subscribers whenever a new TLS certificate appears in a public Certificate Transparency (CT) log for one of their domains. Today, it's turned on for more than 650,000 customer domains. It's an early warning that someone, somewhere, has issued a certificate for a hostname in your zone, giving you a chance to spot a mis-issued certificate early.
