How Aikido helps you meet SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2

If you've ever gone through a SOC 2 audit, you know the drill. It’s weeks of screenshotting dashboards and chasing down evidence across some dozen tools, while hoping the auditor doesn't ask a follow-up question you can't answer. Fortunately, SOC 2 doesn't have to be that painful, especially if the tools you already use for security are generating the evidence for you as a byproduct of just doing their job. That's what Aikido Security can do for application and cloud security.

Five Ways AI Agents Actually Fail, and Why Most Security Programs Are Only Built for Two of Them

Most of the industry discourse on agentic AI risk has settled into a comfortable framing: agents get attacked the way models get attacked, through some form of prompt manipulation, and the fix is a better guardrail. I think that framing is dangerously incomplete, and I want to walk through five specific scenarios that make the case directly rather than abstractly. Two of them are manipulation. One exploits trust between agents rather than any single agent's behavior.

Continuous Attacker Emulation: Testing Controls Between Annual Assessments

Security controls are built to stop attackers, but most organizations only find out whether those controls actually work once a year, during a scheduled assessment. In the months between those engagements, configurations change, new tools get deployed, and remediation work from the last test either holds up or quietly fails without anyone noticing. Continuous attacker emulation exists to close that gap, giving security teams an ongoing read on their actual exposure rather than a single snapshot frozen in time.

Top 5 Antidetect Browsers for Web Scraping, Research, and Data Collection at Scale

Modern web setup needs strong anti-bot tools. These tools look at what comes in from the web, the browser settings, and what the canvas shows to find bots. People who work in company growth, data, and research often need to pull data from the web. For them, normal headless browsers like Puppeteer or Selenium are easy to spot. To get data many times, you will need tools that can hide your system details in several sessions at once.

5 Best Direct Mail APIs for Automated, Multi-Touch Campaigns

Email has triggers, sequences, and dashboards. For years, direct mail had a spreadsheet and a print deadline. A good direct mail API closes that gap: your software decides who gets a mailpiece and when, and the provider prints, mails, and tracks it. The catch is that "best" depends on the job. A product team embedding transactional notices needs something very different from a marketing team running three-touch campaigns across dozens of clients. I compared Postalytics, Lob, PostGrid, PCM Integrations, and Click2Mail on the factors that actually separate them.

The cybersecurity problem hiding in your later list

Let's be honest: Every IT team has that one thing. That ancient server that nobody wants to touch somehow still runs. That vulnerability that has been sitting in the remediation queue because there were more critical issues to handle, and then there's the active service account that was created for a temporary project three years ago. Or perhaps there's a security exception that was only supposed to last for 30 days and quietly became permanent. Nothing has exploded yet, so it is easy to leave it alone.
