  • 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. AI agents do not replace those risks. They introduce a new one by allowing the contents of a file to influence what the…

  • 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. From there, observability tools…

  • AI Is Changing the Speed of Cyberattacks, Not the Fundamentals

    Microsoft released its 2026 Digital Defense Report on October 1, offering a broad look at how cyber threats have changed as artificial intelligence becomes integrated into both attacker workflows and enterprise systems. The report paints a security environment moving faster and becoming more interconnected, but one where many of the underlying weaknesses remain familiar. Attackers…

  • 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…

  • 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. When a new vulnerability appears in a widely used library, an SBOM can help an organization determine which applications contain the affected component without manually inspecting every product.…
