Four compliance frameworks, one security team: Why fragmented university security raises regulatory risk

In Part 1 of this series, we looked at the security challenges created by fragmented, campus-by-campus environments. Higher education also faces a second pressure that makes that fragmentation harder to sustain: overlapping compliance obligations across FERPA, GLBA, HIPAA, and CMMC.Each framework brings different requirements, reporting timelines, and consequences for failure. Managing them across one institution is already complex, but across a multi-campus university system with separate tools, staff, data stores, and governance practices, it becomes much harder to establish what happened, w

The ASOS Incident: When Attackers Use the Channels Customers Trust

This week, ASOS customers opened their phones to find a hostile push notification delivered through the retailer’s own app. The message claimed the company’s Snowflake environment had been compromised and directed ASOS to engage with the sender through Telegram. ASOS later confirmed to Sky News that an unauthorized customer notification had been sent and said it was investigating activity involving third-party platforms used to communicate with customers. The company also said basic personal information, including names and contact details, may have been accessed, while payment-card informatio

Securing Agent-to-Agent Communication: The Next Identity Frontier

As organizations deploy autonomous AI agents, security teams face a significant shift as non-human non-human entities making decisions, invoking tools, and delegating tasks to other agents without human intervention. Security architectures built around human users, static APIs, and distinct endpoints break down when AI agents dynamically collaborate across an environment. As these interactions become more common, securing agent-to-agent communication without blocking adoption will require security leaders to treat autonomous agents as first-class identities, with their own permissions, behavio

How AI Is Changing the Roles Required in the Security Operations Center

As AI takes on more of the enrichment, correlation, and initial assessment inside the SOC, roles, skills, and KPIs still require deliberate redesign. Security leaders need to decide where automation is dependable, where human judgment should remain decisive, and how teams should be measured when alert handling is no longer the center of the operating modelThe Gartner® report, The Roles Required for the AI-Enabled Security Operations Center (SOC), examines the roles and capabilities Gartner expects the SOC to require as AI becomes embedded in security operations.
