Designing PCI-Compliant Enterprise Networks Beyond the Traditional Perimeter

By / Blog / , , ,

The article discusses the evolution of designing PCI-compliant enterprise networks, emphasizing that compliance now extends beyond traditional perimeter controls to include broader network security measures such as identity services, cloud security groups, and remote access platforms. It highlights the importance of accurate scoping, effective segmentation, administrative access controls, continuous logging, time synchronization, cryptographic management, and clear responsibility delineation within and across organizational boundaries to maintain ongoing PCI DSS compliance as a continuous operational discipline rather than a one-time audit task.

What Every CISO Should Consider Before a SIEM Migration

By / Blog / ,

Before migrating to a new SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) platform, CISOs must carefully plan to preserve crucial data such as entity behavioral data, policy enforcement logs, and compliance-related information, ensuring continuity and usability during and after the transition. Additionally, they should document and transfer custom detection rules, playbooks, and workflows embedded in the old system while being aware of potential unknown integrations or user groups to avoid disruptions and extra costs. This strategic approach helps maintain effective cybersecurity operations and minimizes risks throughout the SIEM migration process.

EU AI Act Shock: Emotion Recognition Is Now Illegal at Work. So Why Is Your Vendor Still Selling It?

By / Blog / , , , , ,

The EU AI Act, effective since February 2025, has made emotion recognition AI in the workplace illegal across the European Union, imposing fines up to €35 million or 7% of global turnover for violations. Despite this, many vendors continue to sell and deploy such technology unlawfully, risking significant penalties, while the law strictly prohibits AI systems that infer employee emotions from biometric data but allows text-only sentiment analysis. Organizations using UC, CX, or employee experience software in Europe are urged to urgently verify vendor compliance and disable prohibited features to avoid imminent enforcement actions.
