  • AI Compliance Starts With Knowing Where the Model Touches Data

    Enterprise AI rarely operates inside a single application boundary. A user may submit a prompt through one interface, an orchestration layer may add system instructions, a retrieval service may query internal documents, an embedding model may convert those documents into vectors, and a separate model provider may process the assembled context.

  • What an SBOM Can Miss

    A Software Bill of Materials can answer one of the hardest questions in software security: what is actually inside this product? That answer has real operational value.

  • Ransomware Gangs Are Going After the Recovery Plan

    Ransomware used to create a fairly direct technical problem: attackers encrypted production data, defenders restored it, and the organization tried to resume operations. Modern ransomware crews have spent years attacking that equation.
