ATLASSIAN DEMO: SCALE ENTERPRISE AI FAST AND DON'T BREAK SECURITY

IT leaders are under pressure. They need to scale AI faster [5]than the competition or risk losing out – but they must also protect the security, data, and governance boundaries that AI exposes to attacks, leaks, and other breaches. Atlassian's upcoming demo [6] (Oct 29th) will reveal how to give teams AI that understands their organization's context and respects who can see what. You'll learn from end-to-end workflows for different teams: * Accelerate incident response timelines in ENGINEERING AND IT. * Reduce repeat questions + speed up onboarding in HR. * Build accurate briefs, perform effective AI drafting & async approvals in MARKETING.

03ANALYSIS & OPINIONS

IS IT TIME TO RETIRE VPNS?

As recurring vulnerabilities expose legacy VPN gateways to rapid exploitation, organizations will need to transition to zero-trust architecture. Traditional VPNs grant broad internal network access once breached, a risk amplified by AI-driven vulnerability discovery. Zero-trust models replace this perimeter approach by making internal systems invisible to the public internet and restricting users and agents to specific applications.

CLOSING LINUX EDR GAPS

Linux servers can show green in an EDR dashboard while collecting little or no security telemetry because of kernel incompatibilities or degraded sensor modes. Verify sensor health on each host before expanding coverage or switching vendors, then pilot changes through kernel updates and roll them out in stages. Container visibility and after-hours alert response also need explicit coverage.

CISCO RETHINKS PRIVILEGED INFRASTRUCTURE ACCESS

Cisco has introduced Privileged Infrastructure Access, a new offering designed to provide network administrators and automated agents with secure, identity-bound connections to critical network devices. The system replaces long-lived credentials and static access paths with short-lived, task-specific privileges that expire once work is completed, reducing vulnerabilities that can be exploited by AI-powered adversaries.
