  • What are the SOC 2 Controls?

    What are the SOC 2 Controls?

    Service organizations pursue SOC reports to demonstrate to clients that their data is handled securely. SOC 2 reports specifically assess a company’s adherence to the five Trust Services Criteria (TSC): security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. These criteria, established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), form the foundation for SOC 2 controls that guide audit and reporting processes. Unlike a simple checklist, the TSC provides a framework that ensures organizations implement effective controls to protect client data.

  • AI Attack Vectors: How Intelligent Threats Are Redefining Cybersecurity Defense

    AI Attack Vectors: How Intelligent Threats Are Redefining Cybersecurity Defense

    The digital arms race is accelerating, and artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming both a weapon and a target. As AI systems increasingly interact, a new generation of attack vectors is emerging, where one intelligent system exploits another’s weaknesses at machine speed.

    These aren’t theoretical threats. From prompt injection to feedback loop manipulation, malicious AI systems are already probing and exploiting vulnerabilities in other AIs. Understanding these attack vectors is critical to defending the next wave of intelligent infrastructure and maintaining trust in automated decision-making.
