Managed service providers have never had more influence over their customers’ security outcomes. Every day, MSPs make decisions that affect how organizations authenticate users, secure privileged access, recover from ransomware, manage sensitive data and defend against the latest cyber threats. Their managed companies continue to rely on those decisions as they generally lack the internal resources to evaluate them. That trust creates tremendous value. And it also creates heightened accountability.

Telecommunications providers already play a central role in the cloud economy. They own the networks businesses use to reach cloud services. They operate data centers, regional points of presence, edge locations, support teams and enterprise client relationships. In many markets, they are also trusted local infrastructure providers for businesses, governments and critical services. For years, much of that infrastructure was used to connect clients to someone else’s cloud. That is starting to change.

A self-hosted password vault runs on infrastructure you control instead of a vendor's cloud, giving you direct custody of encryption keys, backups, and access logs. It trades vendor convenience for operational responsibility: you patch it, you back it up, and you decide who reaches it. For teams with data residency requirements, air-gapped environments, or a board that keeps asking where the credentials live, that trade is usually worth making.

With forecasters expecting yet another eventful Atlantic hurricane season, how can you ensure your business and its data are protected? Get (and stay) prepared with disaster recovery. Does your business have a hurricane preparedness plan? For businesses operating along the Southern and Eastern Atlantic coast, each hurricane season ushers in a storm front of anxiety and trepidation — in addition to all that wind and rain. And for good reason.

Security teams that roll out Microsoft Purview DLP inside their Microsoft ecosystem often assume coverage extends further than it does. Policies apply cleanly to Word, Excel, and Outlook. Then a sensitive.dwg is inspected only by extension because Purview doesn't scan CAD content, a developer on a Linux workstation falls outside endpoint coverage entirely, or raw source code moves to a USB drive without matching the source-code classifier, which runs on the endpoint only for Office and PDF files.

Shadow IT used to mean employees spinning up unsanctioned software-as-a-service (SaaS) apps that stored company data without approval. Today, shadow MCP and unsanctioned LLM integrations represent the next evolution, and they're more dangerous. Model context protocol (MCP) servers don't merely store data; they act on it, executing code, calling APIs, and accessing internal tools on behalf of AI agents that developers connect with a config file.

An initial access broker associated with the Payouts King ransomware group is using Microsoft Teams phishing to deploy a malicious Microsoft Edge web browser extension, according to researchers at Zscaler. Once the hackers have a foothold within an organization, they sell the access to the ransomware gang to conduct follow-on attacks.

Security must evolve from a static training program into dynamic, AI-powered human and AI risk orchestration embedded across the organization. The traditional model of security awareness aimed to get a message into people’s heads and hope it stayed there long enough to stop insecure actions. Organizations trained, tested, reported a completion rate to the auditor, and moved on.

As Kubernetes clusters scale from a few development sandboxes to massive, multi-tenant production environments, platform teams often find themselves facing a configuration management crisis. A small number of microservices suddenly demand hundreds of individual Kubernetes NetworkPolicy objects. Managing them becomes operationally expensive, auditing them is difficult, and a single developer misconfiguration can easily drop critical production traffic or open a massive security hole.
