Vol 337 · Issue 3 · 2026-04-18

Browser extensions seem harmless-just tools to block ads, clean up formatting, summarize, or translate web pages. But in reality, they are cloud-connected mini applications with access to everything users do in SaaS. Most people don't think twice about installing a browser extension.

Production-first security leverages runtime intelligence to prioritize remediation, giving teams visibility into real-world attack patterns rather than hypothetical weaknesses.

AI Risk Management in SaaS: A Practical Guide

Vol 337 · Issue 3 · 2026-04-16

AI risk is already inside your SaaS environment. It enters through user behavior, OAuth connections, browser sessions, and non-human identities interacting with AI tools.
