  • Exposed Docker APIs Are Becoming a Cloud Security Blind Spot

    Containers are supposed to make workloads easier to isolate, deploy, and manage, but the infrastructure controlling those containers can create a far more direct path into the host. One of the clearest examples is the Docker Remote API, which gives administrators and automation systems programmatic control over the Docker daemon. If that interface is exposed…

  • File Handling Is the Next AI Agent Security Problem

    Files have always been a security boundary. Applications have spent decades defending against malicious documents, path traversal, parser flaws, archive bombs, embedded scripts, unsafe deserialization, and executable content disguised as ordinary attachments.

    Enterprise AI rarely operates inside a single application boundary.

  • When Metadata Becomes an Attack Path

    Metadata is easy to dismiss as background information. A document has an author, creation date, file path, revision history, and perhaps a few tags. A photograph may contain location data and device information. A cloud instance has an identifier, region, role, and networking details. A Kubernetes object carries labels and annotations that help administrators organize…
