Browsers have become the biggest attack surface where compliance, visibility, and data protection all converge. A proxy security strategy is no longer optional. It’s how modern organizations enforce Zero Trust, strengthen ISO compliance alignment, and stop breaches before they happen. Discover how Proxy integrates with SASE See why unmanaged browsing costs companies millions every year Learn how to design a scalable, compliant proxy framework for hybrid teams read the full guide https://lnkd.in/dJARdp-s #Cybersecurity #ProxySecurity #SASE #ISO27001 #ZeroTrust #Compliance #CloudSecurity #NetworkSecurity #SMB #Secithub #TechLeaders #DataProtection #BrowserSecurity #EnterpriseIT #InfoSec

Encryption has become the new compliance frontier. HIPAA, PCI DSS 4.0, GDPR, and NIS2 all now require encryption across clouds and hybrid environments. If your security still stops at the perimeter, it’s time to rethink your architecture. See how frameworks are converging around Zero Trust Maturity Model 2.0 and what that means for your architecture. 👉 https://loom.ly/3Wh7sLg Benson George #ZeroTrust #Encryption #Compliance #Aviatrix

Cost of scaled intelligence just got faster and cheaper. Priced at just $0.25/1M input tokens and $1.50/1M output tokens, 3.1 Flash-Lite delivers enhanced performance at a fraction of the cost of larger models. It outperforms 2.5 Flash with a 2.5X faster Time to First Answer Token and 45% increase in output speed, according to the Artificial Analysis benchmark while maintaining similar or better quality.

🚨 For years, security has been framed as a technical function: More tools. More controls. More approvals. While this was great to create a foundation, that framing is broken for modern organizations. In 2026, cybersecurity is a capital allocation problem. Every cybersecurity control you fund either: 1️⃣ Enables growth 2️⃣ Creates friction And most organizations are still optimizing for control, not outcomes. The Old Model: Control-Based Security ➡️ Built for stability, not speed. ➡️ Designed to restrict behavior ➡️ Treats all activity as equal risk ➡️ Prioritizes compliance over performance ➡️ Slows transformation ➡️ Pushes teams toward shadow usage It protects systems… while quietly taxing productivity and revenue. The New Model: Risk-Based Security ✅ Built for scale, resilience, and decision velocity. ✅ Focuses on business impact, not theoretical threats (FUDFree) ✅ Applies protection based on context and value at risk ✅ Aligns spend to material risk scenarios ✅ Delivers a unified experience for employees ✅ Designed to enable outcomes safely The strategic question we should always be asking: “Are we investing in controls that reduce the risks that could materially impact the business?” Modern security isn’t about preventing everything or building higher walls. It’s about protecting what actually matters most and deploying intelligence guardrails. #ExecutiveLeadership #RiskManagement #CyberStrategy #DigitalTransformation #ModernCISO #EnterpriseRisk

MCP - a open protocol for AI (LLM) to talk to other tools / systems / applications. Naive, but don’t judge me, I was judging AI capabilities with me being Naive   - So I asked Claude AI to create an MCP - An MCP the AI itself will use - Gave a website address to which MCP had to be created (with public APIs) - It Generated extensive, detailed code - I dwelled on it, fine tuned for my preference / requirements, it went ahead and did a bit more than I asked for. Website was analysed in minutes (amusing and scary) - I asked it to package it as executable package - I had configured file system MCP - So, Claude leveraged that and created a python project in filesystem and created Project with proper files and folder structure - Here comes Claude code (CC) - This python project of MCP server, was not in a running state - Asked CC to make the code runnable (of course I was in control (manual loop) of the changes it was making) - MCP server to run in local system (MacOs) needed some changes in trivial python code, CC made the changes - Interesting side part, during this whole process, it was also creating documentation, to install server, to run server and the MCP config for other tools - At times I had to say update the documentation - OOPS !! Code got changed, but what was changed ? - I asked CC to make this project version controlled. Oh my Devaa (God), it converted the project into a Git repo (local) - Created git related files, Auto committed all files. All I had to do was, say yes, go ahead - Well, we got side tracked, lets get back to MCP - So, now I asked CC to run the server (lazy to copy the command and run it in next tab terminal) - Obviously.. It had issues, and obviously it auto corrected the code - It wrote test cases, wrote test start script, tested it, committed the code and then - now it tells me, 'All fixed, Want to run?', Howdhu maga howdhu, run (yes dude yes, run) - MCP server started. I updated MCP configuration and restarted Claude Desktop - pssssttt….. curios? - :( Error: MCP server couldn’t be started - Again me being extremely (purposefully) lazy, told CC, you are being dumb, fix the startup error - I guess, I hurt its Ego. - It asked permissions for MCP server log file. whaaaat really ?, it wants to read log files now, wow. - It test ran with its test scripts, read the log, analysed like a nerd, updated the test files and code, reran until it was fixed and updated the documentation and also committed the code - What can I say, I was watching Christopher Nolan movie level events. - Finally, MCP worked, I tested few things, results were as expected.   It ain’t over, my architectural / Engineering hormones kicked in. How about containerisation ? How about productionising it ? How about Security & Authentication ? How about Performance & Scalability ? How about Operational Readiness ? How about AI Security, Gaurdrails ? Stay tuned, I will be back 🙂

Most companies start with tools. Smart ones start with governance. Security programs based on security frameworks like ISO 27001 and SOC 2 aren’t just checkboxes, they’re how you scale securely. At Mirai, we break them down into practical steps that support business growth, not slow it down.

Deep-fake videos, cloned voices, and pay-to-play “verified” badges have made it almost impossible to tell real from fabricated content. Yet the technology that proves authenticity (Content Credentials, Verifiable Credentials, silicon-level signatures) is still niche, opt-in, and miles from everyday use. I’ve unpacked this growing gap—and what needs to change—in the short article below. Give it a read, share your thoughts, and let’s push for “verified by default” before this problem gets even worse. 💬 https://lnkd.in/gTmw5XJS #deepfakes #security #provenance #emergingthreat #globalissue

Most systems do not break from load. They break from misunderstanding. It is not pressure that kills architecture. It is the lack of Air. Example 1: A partner asked us to copy their customer category as a simple flag. Looked easy. Turned into chaos. Flags drifted. Values mismatched. Nobody knew what the flag meant. One question changed everything: “What outcome does this category drive?” Suddenly the truth appeared. We did not need their flag at all. We needed the behaviour behind it. Once context moved, the whole design became light. Example 2: A team passed a “specialHandling = true” flag. Simple, right? Except no one knew what “special” meant. The receiving domain did not want the flag. They wanted the treatment. Flags carry data. Air carries intent. And intent is what keeps systems breathable. The lightest architectures are the ones where context moves faster than requirements.
