A search for 'Guo Wei' in ORCID returned 616 profiles, none affiliated with the Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, highlighting the difficulty in verifying academic identities.

Approximately 6 million internet-accessible systems are using FTP today, and almost half of them do not use encryption, exposing enterprises and end users to avoidable risks.

There is a growing emphasis on database compliance today due to the stricter enforcement of compliance rules and regulations to safeguard user privacy. For example, GDPR fines can reach £17.5 million or 4% of annual global turnover (the higher of the two applies). Besides the direct monetary implications, companies also need to prioritize compliance to protect their brand reputation and achieve growth.

"World Cloud Security Day is a useful reminder to recognize how much cloud risk now comes down to everyday access decisions and overlooked misconfigurations," says James Maude, Field CTO at BeyondTrust.

Unverified and low quality data generated by artificial intelligence (AI) models - often known as AI slop - is forcing more security leaders to look to zero-trust models for data governance, with 50% of organisations likely to start adopting such policies by 2028, according to Gartner's seers. Currently, large language models (LLMs) are typically trained on data scraped - with or without permission - from the world wide web and other sources including books, research papers, and code repositories.

Never feel that you are totally safe. In July 2025, one company learned the hard way after an AI coding assistant it dearly trusted from Replit ended up breaching a "code freeze" and implemented a command that ended up deleting its entire product database. This was a huge blow to the staff. It effectively meant that months of extremely hard work, comprising 1,200 executive records and 1,196 company records, ended up going away.

Traditional IAM and IGA systems are designed primarily for human users and depend on manual onboarding and integration for each application - connectors, schema mapping, entitlement catalogs, and role modeling. Many applications never make it that far. Meanwhile, non-human identities (NHIs): service accounts, bots, APIs, and agent-AI processes are natively ungoverned, operating outside standard IAM frameworks and often without ownership, visibility, or lifecycle controls.
