Mythos, Microsegmentation, and the Collapse of the Exploit Window

When AI finds vulnerabilities faster than organizations can patch, containment becomes strategy

Anthropic's Project Glasswing and Claude Mythos Preview show what happens when vulnerability discovery accelerates. This article explains why microsegmentation matters for both proactive blast-radius reduction and reactive containment when the exploit window collapses.

Non-Human Identities Need Containment, Not Just Rotation

Service accounts, API keys, OAuth apps, and agents are now lateral movement infrastructure

Non-human identities are becoming one of the most important trust paths in modern environments. This article explains why service accounts, API keys, OAuth apps, and AI agents need microsegmentation and blast-radius control, not just secrets hygiene.

Microsegmentation in 2026: The Control That Turns Breach Assumption Into Architecture

Why lateral movement, cloud sprawl, identity drift, and AI agents are making containment a board-level priority

A 2026 trend view on microsegmentation: vulnerability exploitation, ransomware, identity drift, cloud complexity, and AI agents all point to the same need - smaller blast radius by design.

Management Consoles: The Keys to the Kingdom

Why containment matters more when the control plane becomes the attack path

Management consoles concentrate privilege, trust, and reach. When one gets compromised, the attacker does not just gain a foothold, they gain control. This article explains why the management plane is now one of the most dangerous attack surfaces in enterprise security and how containment changes the outcome.
