Android is known for its flexibility, which is one reason businesses across industries rely on it. But when a device freezes, crashes, or refuses to turn on, that flexibility goes to the bin. But with Android Fastboot, that flexibility reaches a new level. Often useful for developers and device manufacturers, Fastboot plays an important role in enterprise device management. It lets IT teams fix issues, reinstall software, push updates, or recover a device that would otherwise be unusable.

Compare DPDP and GDPR compliance requirements. Learn how they differ, why they conflict, and what Indian enterprises should prioritize – especially with AI deployment.

The evolution of your security stack is similar to the different phases of buying cars. In the beginning, you just need enough to transport a few items, maybe yourself and a few friends. The inexpensive two-door hatchback is perfect. However, as your family grows, whether with small humans or pets, you increasingly need more space and more capacity, leading to purchasing a four-door sedan or, even, a mini-van.

The conversation about AI security has shifted. For the past year, the focus has been on the model itself: poisoning data, prompt injection, and protecting intellectual property. These are critical concerns, but they miss the bigger picture of how AI is actually being operationalized in the enterprise. We are entering the era of Agentic AI. AI is no longer just generating text; it is taking action. Autonomous agents read customer tickets, query databases, update financial records, and trigger workflows.

Every few months, a new compliance mandate makes its way into security teams' inboxes — something about data residency, audit readiness, or regulatory proof of control. In one such instance, a banking customer met with their IT and security leads to review reports before an audit. Their AppSec program was cloud-based, efficient, and scalable. Yet, the compliance officer had one clear instruction: “We need complete control.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has supercharged social engineering. Global management consulting firm McKinsey & Company reported a 1,200% global surge in phishing attacks since the rise of generative AI in the latter half of 2022. And it’s not just the number of attacks that’s climbing; it’s also the success rate. Arctic Wolf’s Human Risk Behavior Snapshot: 2nd Edition reveals that nearly two-thirds of IT and security leaders self-reported falling for a phishing attempt.

HashJack is a newly discovered indirect prompt injection technique that conceals malicious instructions after the # in legitimate URLs. When AI browsers send the full URL (including the fragment) to their AI assistants, those hidden prompts get executed. This enables threat actors to conduct a variety of malicious activities.

In today’s AI-driven world, machine identities are multiplying faster than humans can manage them. Every API key and automation script is a digital identity, often with standing access privileges that attackers can exploit through leaked credentials or misconfigured policies. Recent research shows that non-human identities (NHIs) now outnumber human users by more than 80:1 across enterprise cloud environments.
