The password database is dead, we just haven't buried it yet.
Posted on August 11, 2026, Level beginner Resource Length short
This article argues that centralized password databases are inherently flawed security liabilities, creating high-value targets for breaches. It proposes shifting authentication to device-native hardware and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) to eliminate database leak risks entirely. By moving verification logic to the edge and removing central credential stores, organizations can fundamentally reduce their attack surface. By Corthan Newsroom.

AI coding adoption hits 97% but governance lags behind
Posted on July 29, 2026, Level beginner Resource Length short
A recent survey reveals that nearly all software development teams now use AI coding assistants, yet governance frameworks lag significantly. While tools like GitHub Copilot and Claude Code are widely adopted, only 30% of teams have formal oversight mechanisms in place. This gap raises concerns about code quality, security, and long-term sustainability. The findings highlight a critical need for structured governance to maximize AI's benefits while mitigating risks.
