API-Based Zero Trust Assessment: Measuring Your Security Posture in Minutes

Feb 2, 2026 By Reach Security In Reach Security
Zero Trust (and probably many general posture) conversations stall at one question: Where are we actually today? Because Reach connects directly through APIs, teams can quickly assess their environment without deploying new agents or ripping anything out. That makes it practical to benchmark a Zero Trust program against the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model — and see what’s real vs. assumed.

Zero Trust for Data Privacy: The Backbone of Modern Cybersecurity

Jan 28, 2026 By Ricardo Arroyo In WatchGuard
Data privacy used to be the realm of hospitals, banks, and fervent devotees of the Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution. Something we knew we wanted but conceptually assumed wouldn’t affect most people. Our dependence on the Internet for almost all aspects of daily life has changed that. In 2026, data privacy and cybersecurity are deeply intertwined. Protecting sensitive information isn’t just about stopping hackers.

Zero Trust for Mid-Market: Why Modern IT Security Assumes Attacks Will Succeed

Jan 23, 2026 By The Editor In WatchGuard
Guest post by WatchGuard Tech All-Star, Marko Bauer It's Monday morning, 7:30 AM. Your employees arrive at the office and can't log in. Systems are dead. Your phone rings. IT reports: Ransomware. All data encrypted. Then the email: €500,000 ransom. In 48 hours, the attackers will begin publishing customer data, contracts, and internal documents on the dark web. The first dump is already online, as “proof.” Your company is paralyzed. Production can't work. Sales has no access to orders.

MFA Bypass vs Zero Trust: Where Security Assumptions Break Down

Jan 14, 2026 By SafeAeon Inc. In SafeAeon
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is used to protect user accounts. It adds an extra layer during login, but MFA bypass attacks still happen. In many attacks, MFA is not broken. Attackers simply avoid it. They take control of sessions that are already logged in or trick users into signing in through pages that appear legitimate. Once access is granted, MFA is no longer involved. This is where assumptions start to break.

Top 5 Mistakes New Devs Make in Healthcare App Builds and How to Avoid Them

Top 5 Mistakes New Devs Make in Healthcare App Builds and How to Avoid Them

Jan 10, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
"How to develop a healthcare app" sounds like a normal software question until you actually try it. Once you step into healthcare app development, you realize you're not just shipping features. You're building something that sits alongside doctors, nurses, and patients in real healthcare settings. If it breaks, it can delay treatment. If it leaks data, it can ruin trust and trigger legal problems. A glitch here hurts more than someone missing a DM in a chat app. That's why healthcare software in 2026 requires a mindset closer to clinical engineering than regular SaaS development.

5 Indicators That Standing Privileges Put You at Risk

Jan 6, 2026 By Gabriel Avner In Apono
In most organizations, standing privileges don’t show up all at once. They accumulate quietly. A role is added “temporarily.” A contractor needs broad access to finish a project. A service account gets oversized permissions because no one has time to fine-tune them. None of these choices seem harmful in the moment, but over time they build into a privilege surface that’s far too large and far too easy to misuse.

How the Model Context Protocol Is Redefining Zero Trust for AI Agents

Jan 5, 2026 By Ashley D'Andrea In Keeper
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents become more autonomous by accessing critical systems and acting without real-time human oversight, they are evolving from productivity tools into active Non-Human Identities (NHIs) like service accounts or API keys that require the same oversight and controls as human users. This shift expands organizational attack surfaces, introducing new security risks related to overprivileged access and lateral movement of NHIs across cloud infrastructure.

Zero Trust Implementation: Why it Matters and How to Implement

Jan 5, 2026 By Minal Purwar In miniOrange
Zero Trust is a security mindset and architecture that assumes no user, device, or network is inherently trustworthy, requiring continuous verification for every access request. Unlike a single tool or product, it requires a holistic strategy that integrates strong identity controls, such as MFA and least privilege access. Success with Zero Trust hinges on cultural shifts, executive buy-in, and ongoing adaptation to threats that emerge beyond the initial setup.
