Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the hottest buzzwords these days, dominating headlines and rocking the stock market. Many companies have already added AI functionality to their software solutions, and many hope to add even more in the coming months. It’s important to remember, however, that the foundation these technologies are built on can significantly impact their effectiveness and scalability. The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) recently released a whitepaper that highlights the importance of cloud-native technology and AI as critical technology trends.

Microsoft is updating SymCrypt, its core cryptographic library, with new quantum-secure algorithms. Microsoft’s details are here. From a news article:
The first new algorithm Microsoft added to SymCrypt is called ML-KEM. Previously known as CRYSTALS-Kyber, ML-KEM is one of three post-quantum standards formalized last month by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The KEM in the new name is short for key encapsulation. KEMs can be used by two parties to negotiate a shared secret over a public channel. Shared secrets generated by a KEM can then be used with symmetric-key cryptographic operations, which aren’t vulnerable to Shor’s algorithm when the keys are of a sufficient size...

Global end-user spending on information security is projected to hit $212bn next year, an increase of 15% from 2024, according to Gartner. Yet at the same time, data breach costs continue to spiral. The latest IBM report now puts the global average at nearly $4.9n per incident. This raises the question: are organizations spending their cybersecurity budgets in the right areas?

Introducing Rule Tracing
We're excited to announce the release of Rule Tracing, a powerful new feature in Impart Security that provides clear visibility into which specific security rule triggered a blocking decision. This feature enables security engineers to design, test, and fine-tune a comprehensive security policy more efficiently than ever.
Security rules are rarely deployed in isolation. They work together as part of a broader strategy to defend against a wide range of threats. With Rule Tracing, you gain immediate insight into the rule responsible for any block, eliminating the need for cumbersome log analysis and manual investigation.
Key Benefits:
Why This Matters
Legacy WAFs and out of band API security solutions cannot offer this level of transparency. In legacy systems, identifying the exact rule responsible for blocking an attack can be a slow, labor-intensive process, requiring deep log analysis, which is too little, too late.
Impart's Rule Tracing simplifies this, empowering security teams to respond faster and maintain more effective defenses.
