News for today:
- [Silverfort] Acquisition of Fabrix Security. Silverfort acquired Fabrix Security, for its identity knowledge graph and real-time AI-driven authorization decisions. With Fabrix’s identity-centric AI decisioning engine that can handle the speed of non-human and agentic identities, and Silverfort’s unique Runtime Access Protection (RAP) technology that can continuously enforce those decisions everywhere, enterprises will be able to adopt agentic AI and scale their business without losing control.

- [AvePoint] Confidence Platform updates. AvePoint updated its Confidence Platform with active enforcement of AI (not just visibility), a rethinking of what resilience looks like, and support for new SaaS and cloud services. E.g., AvePoint’s AI agent governance now delivers deeper insight into agent access to sensitive files and knowledge sources, including where data lacks proper security labeling. Enhanced RBAC (role-based access controls) specific to AI agents empower organizational security at scale, ensuring appropriate access for agents based on each user’s rights. AvePoint
- [Tenable] New pricing model for exposure management. Tenable introduced new pricing and packaging options for new customers of its exposure management platform – with the emphasis on easy-to-start and easy-to-expand capabilities (and pricing). Customers can select the package and capacity that best aligns with their security goals and provides the flexibility to move seamlessly between asset types across the attack surface as their needs evolve. Tenable’s simplified “count once” licensing principle further supports predictable spend by allowing customers to deploy all relevant sensors on a single asset and be charged only once. Tenable
- [Akamai] AI multiplies risk for APIs. New research from Akamai on API usage shows speed on adoption without competence on the security or testing side. Eighty-seven percent of respondents reported an API-related security incident in the past year, up from 76% in 2022. On average, organizations reported 3.5 API-related security incidents in the past 12 months, with an average cost exceeding US$700,000 per incident. Security teams rank securing AI technologies as their top cybersecurity priority (38%) for the next year. Additionally, 42% of security professionals say APIs that power their AI applications, agents, and large language models (LLMs) were targeted by cyberattacks in the past 12 months. Akamai
- [Horizon3.ai] New research on activity vs. resistance. New research from Horizon3.ai shows a growing disconnect between what executives are told about security programs and the reality on the ground. 97% of CISOs say they are confident their endpoint protection would detect attacker behavior, yet only 12% report testing that capability within the last three months. Just 30% of organizations report patching and then testing to confirm that risk has actually been remediated …. Many CISOs believe their organizations would withstand a determined attack, while practitioners report significant exposure, unresolved attack paths, and gaps in validation. Horizon3.ai
