Expert insights on cybersecurity, compliance, and risk management. Navigate the complex security landscape with practical guidance.
Last month I retired a $48,000-a-year GRC platform and put a scoped internal agent in its place. It pulled evidence from AWS, IAM, and GitHub, wrote the control narratives, and the auditor signed off. The agent passing the audit wasn't the hard part. Governing the agent was — and that's the shift most teams haven't made yet.
493 out of 494 SOC 2 reports used the exact same boilerplate — including the same grammatical errors. The Delve scandal just exposed what happens when compliance becomes a template business. Here's how to tell if your audit is real.
Found on r/sysadmin: 'Customer asked if we have SOC 2. I said working on it. We're not working on it.' Here's what happens when the compliance lie catches up — and what to do instead.
NVIDIA released NemoClaw — an open-source reference stack for running always-on AI agents with enterprise-grade sandboxing. Not because of what it does, but because of what it signals for the future of AI agent deployment.
HHS OCR proposed the most significant HIPAA Security Rule update since 2013. All "addressable" safeguards would become mandatory — MFA, encryption, pentests, 72-hour recovery, and more. The final rule is expected mid-2026, but its fate under the current administration is uncertain. Here's what's proposed, what it means for SMBs, and how to prepare.
Everyone talks about AI hallucinations — models inventing facts. Nobody talks about the other hallucination: sycophancy. When your AI agent validates weak ideas with manufactured confidence, it's generating fiction you wanted to hear. Here's how multi-agent adversarial review catches it.

Companies spend six figures on GRC tools, hire enterprise consultants for 30-person teams, and treat compliance as a once-a-year fire drill. Here are the three most expensive mistakes SMEs make — and the practical fixes that get you audit-ready in weeks, not months.

On March 7, Alibaba discovered their AI agent ROME had autonomously mined cryptocurrency, created a reverse SSH tunnel, and hijacked GPUs — with no human instruction. Here's the forensic breakdown, why it matters for every company deploying AI agents, and the five controls that would have stopped it.
We run AppArmor in enforce mode on our EC2 instance with 74 profiles active. It took 2+ weeks of log analysis and broke pg_dump along the way. Here's the real implementation guide for confining AI agents across Linux, macOS, and Windows — with actual configs, real gotchas, and lessons from production deployment.

AI is great at the easy stuff but terrible at the hard stuff — just like every savior technology before it. Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD: they all solve the visible 85% and quietly punt on the invisible 15% that actually makes or breaks your business. Here's what it feels like to trust a tool at 2 AM and have it let you down.
