AI doesn't run in the cloud. It runs on Linux. Most DLP tools were never built to see what happens there. That's a problem: it's exactly where your source code, engineering data, and AI training data now live. We explain why Linux became DLP's biggest blind spot, what "shadow AI" is costing security teams, and how to close the gap, without inspecting a single AI conversation.

AI agents already have real enterprise permissions, and most identity programs still move at the pace of onboarding a new hire. From the recent Netwrix 2026 Data and Identity Security Report: compromised identities and misconfigured permissions account for 75% of sensitive data exposures. Only one in four organizations can remediate that risk immediately through automation, and just 26% trust their Active Directory environment has no hidden escalation path. Register for our free webinar on September 15th at 7pm CEST (1pm ET) to see the research behind those numbers and what it takes to keep that gap from becoming your organization's problem. Darryl Baker, Senior Staff Security Researcher at Netwrix, led the research behind this report and works directly with the identity and AD misconfigurations organizations are struggling to close. Jeff Warren, CPO at Netwrix, will translate that research into how security and IT teams should actually prioritize their governance strategy as AI adoption accelerates.

The Netwrix Threat Lab Quarterly is a research digest from Netwrix's in-house security team, built to translate original identity, AD, and AI threat research into practical fixes for the teams defending against them. This edition of the Threat Lab Quarterly: Huy Kha's free PowerShell script for hunting down ghost SPNs and stale service accounts, Darryl Baker, CISSP, CEH, CCSP, ... enumerates three DEF CON and Black Hat findings that all point at identity infrastructure (including a novel analysis of the Hugging Face incident), and a full recap of research on LDAP control abuse, leaking AI coding credentials, and AI-accelerated tenant destruction.

A once-a-year AI audit doesn't satisfy the EU AI Act anymore. Continuous, provable evidence does. High-risk AI systems now need resilience against data poisoning, model poisoning, and adversarial attacks, proven at every stage of deployment, not certified once and forgotten. A policy document says you have controls. An audit trail proves it. Dirk Schrader, VP of Security Research at Netwrix, breaks down what that proof actually looks like on September 15. Worth joining if AI compliance evidence lands on your desk 👉🏼 event.on24.com/wcc/r/5449828/… #Netwrix #DataSecurity #IdentitySecurity

The rules for responsible AI adoption aren't written yet. The companies shaping them now decide what everyone else has to follow. Rachel Richart, General Counsel at Netwrix, explains why that responsibility lands hardest on companies that both deploy AI and build it, and what it takes to help shape the rules instead of reacting to them. Waiting for guardrails is a choice, but so is building them. Read the blog here 👉🏼netwrix.com/en/resources/b… #Netwrix #DataSecurity #AI #IdentitySecurity

Linux endpoints used to belong to developers. Now they're part of the AI attack surface. AI assistants, local LLMs, and engineering tools now sit on the same workstations that hold proprietary code and credentials. Netwrix Endpoint Protector extends real-time DLP to Windows, macOS, and Linux, inspecting AI prompts and file uploads before sensitive data leaves the endpoint. DLP was built to watch email and cloud storage. Not a paste into a prompt. Get the full report 👉🏼 netwrix.com/en/resources/g… #Netwrix #Linux #DataSecurity #IdentitySecurity

Netwrix Identity Manager 7.1 is now live. This release makes certification workflows significantly more flexible.

Tech evolves. And for it to evolve, some things need to be retired. That's what's happening with memberOf in Entra ID dynamic groups. Microsoft's retiring it November 3, 2026. If you're using it today, the first instinct is to recreate the same rule with something else. But this deadline is actually an opportunity. Instead of replacing one operator with another, ask yourself: what is this group really supposed to do. Is there a better way to maintain it? Tyler Reese, VP of Product Management at Netwrix, walks through the migration path and why SmartGroups in Netwrix Directory Manager give you more control over membership policy than Entra's native dynamics ever could.

Organizations are deploying AI agents faster than they can govern them, and each one holds real permissions inside the enterprise environment. Fewer than 1 in 5 organizations fully govern non-human identities today. Netwrix PingCastle 4.0 extends Entra ID risk coverage to 102 checks. Netwrix Threat Manager 3.3 adds visibility into AI agent identities and new threat detection for Azure Files. Both releases are available now, read the full press release 👉🏼 netwrix.com/en/resources/n… #Netwrix #DataSecurity #Identitysecurity #Microsoft

What happens when your identity surface grows faster than your governance can review it? Chanel Chambers, VP of Product Marketing at Netwrix, interrogates one of the sharpest findings in the 2026 Data and Identity Security Report: organizations leaning hardest into AI were ahead of their peers on identity hygiene fundamentals and still they got breached 4x more often. Her take: a surface expanding at deployment speed can only be kept safe by governance operating at deployment speed.

Our CEO Grady Summers has a new article in Forbes unpacking one of the most surprising findings from our 2026 survey of 2,317 security and IT leaders. Organizations where AI had significantly expanded the number of identities in their environment reported a 43% breach rate over the past year. Where AI hadn't meaningfully changed the identity footprint, that number was just 11%. The obvious explanation is that aggressive AI adopters are simply behind on security fundamentals. The data showed the opposite. They had stronger data inventories, better governance of nonhuman identities and greater visibility into shadow AI. Grady's take: Identity security was built for an environment that grows at the pace of hiring. AI grows the identity surface at the pace of deployment. And there's a speed problem. Only 23.5% of organizations can respond to identity threats automatically in real time. Most are still operating in days while attackers can move in minutes.

What does a 2,000-year-old Roman emperor have to do with hiring great engineers? More than you'd think. Our CTO Avesta Hojjati, Ph.D. has spent his career trying to figure out what separates engineers who make a lasting impact from those who just know a lot. Technical skill, it turns out, isn't the differentiator you might think it would be. In his latest post, Avesta turns to Stoic philosophy, starting with a line from Marcus Aurelius that's stuck with him since his first pen tests at age 12, to unpack the real quality he looks for and builds teams around. Curious what it is? Read the full piece linked below. netwrix.com/en/resources/b… #Netwrix #DataSecurity #IdentitySecurity

In his recent article for SC Media, Netwrix CEO Grady Summers shares his take on one of the most overlooked security challenges right now: machine identities. Service accounts, API keys, and AI agents are multiplying faster than most identity programs were built to manage, outnumbering human users by as much as 50 to one in many environments. Unlike with employees, there's no offboarding trigger when a project closes or an integration gets replaced. The article explores the 2025 Salesloft Drift breach, where attackers moved through hundreds of organizations using a single trusted OAuth token. No vulnerability exploited. Just a credential nobody was watching. Read it to see what every security team needs to be able to answer about their own machine identities.

Many breaches exploit vulnerabilities the organization already knew about and never fixed. That's the real value of running a risk assessment on a schedule instead of once and forgetting about it. Your IT environment changes. New systems get added. Acquisitions bring in unfamiliar infrastructure. The threat landscape shifts constantly. A risk picture from last quarter rarely reflects what your organization is actually exposed to today. Run a full assessment at least annually, and again after any material change: a new system, an acquisition, a significant incident. This free checklist walks through all 13 steps, from setting your risk appetite through building an incident response plan and establishing ongoing mitigation practices 👉🏼 netwrix.com/en/resources/g… #Netwrix #Datasecurity #IdentitySecurity

Password spraying isn't new. The speed behind it is. AI hacking tools now model lockout thresholds, rotate infrastructure, and personalize credential lists at a scale manual attackers never had. Dan Piazza explains what that means for identity security and where the fundamentals still hold. Read the full blog 👉🏼 netwrix.com/en/resources/b… #Netwrix #PasswordSecurity #IdentitySecurity

AI Governance. Don’t skip the fundamentals: start with data & identity security Our 2026 Data & Identity Security Report survey of 2,317 security and IT leaders found that AI adoption is outpacing organizations’ ability to secure their environments for AI: - 74% of organizations don't have a unified view of sensitive data and which identities can access it. - 76% don’t fully govern or monitor non-human identities in their environments. - 43% of organizations where AI had significantly increased the identity footprint experienced breaches in the last 12 months (compared to 11% where AI had not) Organizations are deploying AI agents on shaky foundations today, acquiring data access rights (service accounts, tokens, standing permissions) at a pace most identity programs weren't built to manage. John Knightly, CMO at Netwrix, offers a perspective on what AI governance strategies miss, what they should include, and a readiness checklist to assess your own program, covering everything from unified data/identity visibility and toxic access combinations to non-human identity governance and Copilot/LLM exposure risks. Ensure your AI governance is more than a compliance facade. Read the full blog 👉🏼 netwrix.com/en/resources/b… #AIGovernance #IdentitySecurity #DataSecurity

26% of organizations reported a breach in the last 12 months. That's one in four security teams who spent this year responding to an incident instead of preventing one. We surveyed 2,317 security professionals across 1,889 organizations and 60+ industries for the 2026 Data and Identity Security Report, and this number is the reason the rest of the findings matter. Breaches aren't hypothetical anymore. They're already happening at a rate that should change how every organization prioritizes identity and data security. The bigger question isn't whether your organization could be next. It's whether you'd know where the exposure actually is. See where your organization stands.

Sysadmins don't get the headlines. They get the 2am alerts, the access requests, and the patch schedules nobody else thinks about. The best security work is invisible. It's the breach that never happened. Today is for the people doing that work quietly, every day. Tag a sysadmin who deserves to hear it. #SysAdminDay #Netwrix #SysAdmin

Thank you, Atlanta! Netwrix had a great time at the Atlanta Technology Summit connecting with technology and security leaders at Booth 409. It was a valuable day of conversations around AI, Cybersecurity, Zero Trust, Identity & Access Management, and the evolving challenges organizations face as they work to strengthen security, protect sensitive data, and reduce risk. A big thank-you to everyone who stopped by to meet our onsite team: John Lighthart III, Enterprise Account Executive at Netwrix Colin Ryan, Sales Executive at Netwrix Adam Stetson, Solutions Engineering Manager at Netwrix We appreciate the opportunity to connect, share insights, and discuss how Netwrix helps organizations identify and protect sensitive data, detect threats, and respond to security risks with confidence.
