The speed of cloud development and the ubiquity of open-source code have created an unprecedented risk surface. For many engineering and security teams, the result is a dense fog of fragmented tools, reactive workflows, and rising software supply chain threats. To move forward, your strategy for application security in the cloud must be proactive, unified, and developer-friendly.

Prompt guardrails are a common first line of defense against client-level LLM application attacks, such as prompt injection and context poisoning. They’re also a critical component of a full defense-in-depth strategy for LLM security at the infrastructure, supply chain, and application level. The specific guardrails that teams implement depend highly on use case, but they are typically designed to.

The recently published 2025 Latio Cloud Security Market Report, authored by industry analyst James Berthoty, captures a major transformation: cloud security is leaving behind static visibility tools and moving toward runtime-driven risk reduction. The report traces five years of evolution – from dashboards full of misconfigurations to platforms that can detect, prioritize, and mitigate threats in real time. Six key insights define this new era.

Netwrix’s culture of innovation thrives on curiosity, collaboration, and accountability. From integrating AI across development and customer experience to fostering cross-team creativity, innovation here moves sideways as much as it does down. During Innovation Week, leaders explore how AI and the 1Secure Platform are redefining data and identity security for the future.

We found a path traversal vulnerability in Smithery.ai that compromised over 3,000 MCP servers and exposed thousands of API keys. Here's how a single Docker build bug nearly triggered one of the largest AI supply chain attacks to date.

I’ve spent my career building and defending. I’ve seen the beauty of innovation and the brutality of cyber warfare. I’ve sat shoulder-to-shoulder with security engineers and platform teams in the trenches at 3AM responding to state-backed attacks where context and speed meant survival. In those moments, one truth becomes painfully clear: With AI, that gap just became a chasm. Agentic AI didn’t bend the rules of software — it rewrote them. Code now evolves in real time.

Threat actors are abusing X’s generative AI bot Grok to spread phishing links, according to researchers at ESET. The attackers achieve this by tricking Grok into thinking it’s answering a question, and providing a link in its answer. “In this attack campaign, threat actors circumvent X’s ban on links in promoted posts (designed to fight malvertising) by running video card posts featuring clickbait videos,” ESET says.
