At Mend.io, we understand better than some the weight that sits atop the shoulders of open source maintainers who support the ecosystem at large. These maintainers need to keep on top of supply chain security best practices, keep their dependencies up-to-date, taking on new contributions from users, all the while trying to squeeze that into their “off hours”.

Security teams have spent years tracking what employees do with data. The harder problem now is tracking what agents do on their behalf. AI agents, whether running in an IDE, installed locally on a laptop, or connected to internal data through a model context protocol (MCP) server, operate with the permissions of the user who deployed them. They read files, query databases, call external APIs, and generate outputs. And in most enterprise environments, security teams have no reliable way to see any of it.

Manufacturers face a trio of converging challenges: Cyberthreats are escalating, regulations are tightening, and operational environments are becoming more complex. The traditional approach to operational technology (OT) security is no longer working. Manufacturers need to respond by moving toward platform-based cybersecurity to reduce risk and improve resilience. An ARC Advisory Group report published in April 2026 provides details.

We are living in a security paradox. Cybersecurity budgets are increasing, security stacks are growing more complex, and yet, the needle barely seems to move. According to the newly drafted 2026 Cyberthreat Defense Report (CDR), 81% of organizations experienced at least one successful cyberattack this past year. Even more concerning, the number of organizations suffering from six or more successful attacks is actually creeping up.

LMS or Learning Management System is an e-learning technology that enables institutions or organizations to spread their courses virtually across the globe without the physical effort required in classrooms. It also allows the user to configure their content suited for their clients. LearnDash is trusted to control the learning programs for significant colleges, little to average size organizations, new companies, business people, and bloggers around the world.

Keycloak isn't just another Identity Provider, it's a comprehensive open-source solution that handles authentication, authorization, and user management across your entire tech stack. When integrated with WordPress through SAML, it creates a seamless Single Sign-On (SSO) experience that eliminates password fatigue while giving you granular control over user access. Here's how to make it work for your organization.

Your WordPress site is more than just a website; it's the heart of your online presence. Keeping it secure and running smoothly is key to providing a reliable user experience. One way to simplify access and strengthen your site’s security is by using SAML Single Sign-On (SSO). But what exactly is SAML SSO, and how can it help protect your WordPress site? Let’s break it down.

CVE-2026-0300 is a critical buffer overflow vulnerability in the User-ID Authentication Portal (Captive Portal) of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS. It allows unauthenticated remote attackers to send specially crafted packets and execute arbitrary code with root privileges on affected PA-Series and VM-Series firewalls. The flaw, actively exploited in the wild since early May 2026, stems from improper handling of input in the authentication portal service.

Something significant is happening across enterprise IT right now — and I do not think it has been fully reckoned with yet. More than 5,000 organizations are actively evaluating or executing a migration away from VMware. The Broadcom acquisition changed the economics of VMware dramatically and abruptly. Licensing costs surged. Bundling decisions eliminated flexibility.

What you need to know: MCP bypasses traditional DLP, IAM, and SIEM controls because agent traffic looks like legitimate API calls, sensitive data is semantically transformed before it leaves, and exfiltration happens through tool calls rather than file transfers.
