Sophos has been named one of Computerworld’s 2026 Best Places to Work in IT for the second consecutive year, earning 10th place among large organizations for its innovative, people-focused, and high-impact IT culture.
Zero Trust helps organizations shrink their attack surface and respond to threats faster, but many still struggle to implement it because their security tools don’t share signals reliably. 88% of organizations admit they’ve suffered significant challenges in trying to implement such approaches, according to Accenture. When products can’t communicate, real-time access decisions break down. The
Google on Monday announced a set of new security features in Chrome, following the company’s addition of agentic artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to the web browser. To that end, the tech giant said it has implemented layered defenses to make it harder for bad actors to exploit indirect prompt injections that arise as a result…
