At least a dozen AI developer platforms were breached in a month as attackers hunted stored AI provider keys to resell. Here is how LLMjacking works and how to protect your keys, budgets and vendors.
Microsoft and Todyl describe AI agents scanning public GitHub for secrets, then signing in as Entra service principals and reaching Key Vault. Here is what happened and how to cut off the path.
'Publicly accessible: Yes' on a database is not the whole story. Whether it is reachable depends on five separate gates. Here is how to check each one, how VPC peering widens the blast radius, and how to fix it safely.
Experimental cloud accounts with admin for everyone are a rational choice until AI coding tools, LLM API keys, interns, and GPU spend arrive. Here is how to keep the speed and cap the blast radius.
AWS says you own security in the cloud. But if your accounts sit inside a reseller's AWS Organization, someone else holds controls you assume are yours. Here is how to find out who controls what, and how to take it back.
The auditor's invoice is often the smallest line in the budget. Here is a realistic cost model for SOC 2 and ISO 27001, where the evidence work actually hides, and what continuous compliance monitoring should do for you.

Open-source licenses carry legal obligations that can force source disclosure or block an acquisition. Learn why runtime package licenses are a real business risk, how copyleft works, and how to inventory and govern the licenses you actually ship.
Real organizations rarely use just one source-control platform. Learn why multi-SCM code security coverage matters, what goes wrong when it's fragmented, and how one consistent layer across all four major platforms changes your security posture.
Scanning code for vulnerabilities is only half the picture. The source-control platform itself — its accounts, integrations, and activity — is an attack surface. Learn why repository threat and event monitoring belongs in your code security program.
Most real engineering orgs write in many languages at once. If your SAST only covers a few of them well, the uncovered services are your blind spots. Learn why per-language depth matters and how to evaluate SAST coverage honestly.

In a shared AWS organization, the default of syncing every identity everywhere quietly creates a governance mess: cluttered access portals, approval fatigue, and a wide surface for mistakes. Here's why identity isolation matters and how to design for it.
Humans aren't the only identities with standing credentials to your cloud. Service accounts, pipelines, and the internal products you ship all hold permanent keys nobody reviews. Here's why non-human identities are the next access problem — and how JIT applies to them.
The gap between your identity provider, AWS Identity Center, and your access tooling is a scheduled sync — and that schedule quietly causes failed access, stale permissions, and security surprises. Here's what every cloud team should understand about sync timing.
AI coding agents like Cursor, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot store credentials across config files, logs, and shell history that scanners never inspect. Learn why this is the new identity attack surface and what to do about it.
