Agentic AI is here, and it’s redefining not just how AI performs, but how we test it. In a new piece for Forbes Technology Council, Applause CTO Rob Mason unpacks what makes agentic AI fundamentally different from traditional or generative AI, and what organizations must do to ensure these systems operate safely, responsibly, and with user trust in mind. From the need for scenario-based testing at scale to the importance of transparency, Rob makes a compelling case that the testing practices of yesterday won’t cut it for the multi-dimensional, decision-making AI systems of today. The future of digital experiences depends on testing that understands intent, adapts to context, and puts humans at the center.

The vulnerability management status quo is no longer enough. With federal funding shifts putting resources like the NVD at risk, the cybersecurity community faces a clear signal: it’s time to rethink our dependence on outdated data pipelines, and reinvent how vulnerability intelligence is delivered. In a compelling interview with Channel Insider, Nucleus Security Co-Founder and COO Scott Kuffer explains why now is the moment for MSPs and MSSPs to evolve from “patch everything” to strategic services that drive real security outcomes. As he puts it, “It’s been a set-it-and-forget-it service for a lot of years. But vulnerability exploitation is now the number one cause of breaches, and general patch management alone won’t cut it.” The article explores how MSPs can shift their mindset, invest in premium intelligence services, and simplify their offerings to provide immediate, high-impact support for customers who need better visibility and guidance. Kuffer also shares insights into the role AI will play in the future of vulnerability management, and why success lies in delivering clarity and action, not complexity.

Today's search is powered by AI, which relies heavily on the journalistic content that Comms Teams work hard to generate. If you don't have a team that wakes up with their hair on fire focused on driving visibility in the media, then give us a call, because we do.

Federal IT teams know the challenge: too many tools, too little visibility. With 10–15+ monitoring platforms operating in silos, diagnosing and resolving network issues becomes a slow, resource-draining effort. In a recent Breaking Defense article, Jeremy Rossbach of Broadcom makes the case for unified network observability as the key to driving mission success. His message is clear: it’s time to consolidate, simplify, and empower. With Network Observability by Broadcom, agencies can: 💡Cut 20–30% in network admin labor 💡Reduce mean time to resolution by 25–35% 💡Unlock 60–90% WAN/SD-WAN cost savings 💡Proactively prevent outages and bottlenecks 💡Free up IT staff for strategic, mission-driven work From hybrid environments to cloud transitions, Broadcom’s platform gives federal agencies a single source of truth, eliminating the noise and enabling faster, smarter decisions. Mission continuity, efficiency mandates, and modernization goals don’t have to compete. Unified observability helps them work together.

Trustmi co-founder and CEO Shai Gabay shares his insights in his new article in Security Magazine on a threat more organizations need to take seriously: the rise of vendor fraud in an era shaped by AI-powered social engineering and global trade instability. “On a weekly basis, I see this same scenario play out firsthand with the companies I work with. Recently, I spoke to a business that was one click away from paying a $1.2 million invoice to a group of fraudsters. This company had all the top-of-the-line security tools and proper internal controls in place. But their vendor did not. The vendor’s CEO had their email compromised, and the hacker lurked undetected, eventually finding a real $1.2 million invoice and bank details. They then used this data to trick the vendor’s bank into creating a real (but fraudulent) account. The attacker submitted a bank wire change request with the new info, which was sent to the target company. The request passed all internal checks. All it needed was one signature, and the money would have been gone.” – Trustmi CEO Shai Gabay For companies dealing with new vendors due to tariffs, to those that aren’t, this article is a wake-up call for CISOs, procurement leaders, and risk teams alike: https://lnkd.in/dvnjjGhe

In his latest piece with SecurityInfoWatch.com Nucleus Security, Scott Kuffer breaks down the uncomfortable truth about compensating controls: too often, they’re deployed as stopgaps and forgotten. The result? Silent liabilities hiding in plain sight. In “The Truth About Compensating Controls,” Scott challenges security teams to stop treating these controls like permanent fixes and start treating them like the temporary scaffolding they are tracked, tested, and tied to real-world risk. Key takeaways: 🔍 Controls must be auditable and validated regularly 🔍 Mature programs map controls to assets and severity scoring 🔍 Hope is not a strategy; continuous validation is non-negotiable This isn’t theory. This is how top-tier enterprises use Nucleus to turn breathing room into better security, without incurring hidden risk. If your vulnerability management strategy includes compensating controls, make sure it includes accountability too. A must-read from Scott Kuffer for anyone serious about maturing their security operations. Read it here: https://lnkd.in/dH-PJ2WX
