Key Insights At Software Analyst Cyber Research, we view data security as the second major frontier in the rise of Agentic AI (behind Identity). A clear convergence is emerging between data security platforms and the systems designed to secure AI and autonomous agents. At the heart of this shift is a simple concern that’s grown more complex: how enterprises protect their sensitive data as intelligent systems take a more active role in using it. The first generation of data security (DLP, DSPM) and privacy tools focused on regulatory compliance. The next will focus on agents and autonomous environments. Today’s piece...
Actionable Summary It’s been over three months since Palo Alto Networks announced its acquisition of CyberArk, a move that drew widespread attention across the cybersecurity industry. Numerous analysts have since offered detailed perspectives on the transaction, such as “The Case For and Against Palo Alto Networks Acquiring CyberArk. The deal itself is historic.

Author: Aqsa Taylor Co-author: Francis Odum Disclaimer: The purpose of this image is to provide a high-level depiction of various risk and exposure management categories, and it is not intended to rank the vendors (many of them cross categories in capabilities). It is also not all-inclusive, but rather based on the vendors we have interacted with in some capacity. Introduction Vulnerability management is not what it was in the 2000s. Factors like CVSS scores, vulnerability counts, and the number of resolved CVEs are no longer the primary standards. Today, organizations do not need reminders to scan their resources for vulnerabilities...
The EDR Advantage in the SIEM Pivot Practitioners, Today, we’re doing a deep dive into how EDR vendors are pivoting into the SIEM market. This has become an unexpected, but potentially highly successful wedge for these players to rip out legacy SIEMs. It’s something I never expected. Here is how I see it. EDR vendors are moving into SIEM because they already sit where the signal starts, on the endpoint and increasingly on cloud workloads. That vantage point gives them richer telemetry with process lineage, identity context, and device posture. When you start with higher fidelity data, correlation tends to...
