For any cloud service provider (CSP) aiming to work with the U.S. federal government, understanding the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is due diligence. This government-wide initiative standardizes the assessment, authorization, and monitoring of cloud products for security.

Vulnerability management is not just about spotting weaknesses. It is about fixing them effectively and staying ahead of attackers. And the urgency has never been clearer: the 2025 Verizon DBIR shows a 34% increase in attackers exploiting vulnerabilities to gain initial access and cause breaches compared to last year’s report. So, how can you be sure you are on the right track? Are you reducing risk efficiently? Are critical vulnerabilities being remediated before they are exploited?

The GDPR has compelled a shift in how companies manage personal data. At the heart of GDPR is the requirement to safeguard customer data from unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. GDPR vulnerability assessment is a basic requirement, whether you’re based in the EU or not. If you process the data of EU residents, this assessment isn’t optional.

On June 25, 2025, Cisco released patches for two maximum-severity vulnerabilities in Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and ISE-Passive Identity Connector (ISE-PIC). Both flaws allow unauthenticated, remote threat actors to execute commands on the underlying operating system with root privileges via exposed HTTPS APIs. Although similar in outcome, the vulnerabilities are independent and do not require each other to be exploited.

Align your AI pipelines with OWASP AI Testing principles using GitGuardian’s identity-based insights to monitor, enforce, and audit secrets and token usage.

AI has had dramatic impacts on almost every facet of every industry. API security is no exception. Up until recently, defending APIs meant guarding against well-understood threats. But as AI proliferates, automated adversaries, AI-crafted exploits, and business logic abuse have complicated matters. It’s no longer enough to merely patch known flaws; security teams must now contend with intelligent, adaptive attacks that evolve as fast as the technology they target.
