NIST finalized its first post-quantum cryptography standards in 2024. Here is what they specify, why the harvest-now-decrypt-later threat is already real, and the concrete steps IT teams need to take before quantum computers arrive.
NIST finalized four post-quantum cryptographic standards in August 2024. CISA has told federal agencies to complete inventory by 2026 and migration by 2030. Most private sector organizations haven't started. A practical guide to the threat model, the standards that matter, and where to begin.
Over 15 billion accounts are now passkey-enabled across Apple, Google, and Microsoft platforms. Here's how FIDO2/WebAuthn passkeys work, which major services have deployed them, and what IT teams need to plan for 2026-2027.
CISA, NSA, and the White House have all formally recommended moving away from C and C++ toward memory-safe languages. Here's the evidence behind the policy — and what it means in practice.
NIST finalized three post-quantum cryptography standards in 2024. The migration window to protect encrypted data from future quantum computers is now open — and shorter than most security teams realize.
Prompt injection attacks let attackers hijack AI systems by slipping malicious instructions into content the model reads. It's the same class of vulnerability that gave us SQL injection — and the developer community is making the same mistake of treating it as an edge case.
Passkeys promise to end phishing for good — but deploying FIDO2/WebAuthn at enterprise scale exposes hard operational challenges most vendors won't tell you about. Here's what actually works.
Passkeys have crossed from experimental feature to mainstream authentication. Over 800 million accounts now use them. Here's how FIDO2/WebAuthn works technically, which platforms support them, and what real obstacles remain for enterprise and consumer adoption.
Verizon's 2026 DBIR marks the first time in 19 years that software vulnerabilities surpassed stolen credentials as the leading breach vector. Meanwhile, ShinyHunters' attacks on Carnival and Canvas affected up to 281 million people in May 2026 alone.
Software supply chain attacks now deliver higher leverage than ransomware: one compromised package maintainer or build system reaches thousands of downstream organizations simultaneously. The SolarWinds breach, XZ Utils backdoor, and 3CX attack all used this playbook. Here is how they work and how to defend against them.
Browser isolation started as a high-security niche for contractors, financial firms, and zero-trust purists. That is changing fast. As more work moves into SaaS, unmanaged devices stay in circulation, and phishing payloads increasingly arrive through the browser, isolation is turning into a practical default control for large organizations that want to reduce risk without locking down every endpoint.
Apple has officially deployed post-quantum encryption for iMessage globally, safeguarding user communications against potential future quantum computing threats. This update ensures end-to-end encryption resilience even as cryptographic vulnerabilities evolve.
