Chaos theory is the perfect way to think about AI enterprise risk. Tiny, local changes in a complex system can blow up into outsized, completely unexpected consequences across the business. AI—especially agents—is turning our data and identity stack into exactly that kind of sensitive, tightly coupled system. One sloppy permission or exposed dataset can spiral into real secur...

In the first quarter of the year, cybersecurity trends have been much of the same, with some new twists. Cyber threats are always evolving, but often have much of the same foundation.

The leading 2026 cybersecurity trends so far involve AI, the failure of perimeter defenses, ransomware, and nation-state attacks. Let’s talk about what’s happening and how to best prepare...

Data protection regulations encompass so many types of information. We all know the most discussed acronyms, but one that’s less known is Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) compliance. CJIS compliance regulations apply to criminal justice information and involve any government agencies and partners.

In this post, we’ll review the mandates and outline strategi...

Traditional data security has always started from the outside in: lock down the systems, lock down the disks, and keep attackers away from the infrastructure. That model still matters. In fact, modern regulations and auditors continue to expect strong block-level (disk-level) encryption as a foundational control, which is delivered with transparent data encryption (TDE).

With multiple factors impacting data security strategies and platforms, many organizations face gaps. Those are often prominent in the areas of encryption and classification. When these exist, challenges arise related to compliance, risk, and workflow disruption. A new era of data security technologies seeks to close these.

Mature systems often haven’t delivered much i...
