12 Serverless Security Options Compared (2026): Features & Pricing

A buyer-focused comparison of twelve serverless security offerings concludes no standalone SKU is worth buying in 2026, with function protection bundled inside CNAPP contracts.

The scorecard compares twelve serverless security options on function-protection depth, pricing visibility, platform attach economics, multi-runtime coverage, and vendor viability. Microsoft Defender for Cloud tops the weighted scores at 4.75, with Prisma Cloud at 4.60 and Datadog at 4.55 noted for publishing clean per-function rates. The piece warns that Thundra and Epsagon are defunct and that most vendors bill functions inside platform units where costs are hard to see. It also references the Aqua Security Trivy supply chain incident and Google's finalized acquisition of Wiz as market context.

What breach and attack simulation needs to become in the AI era

Picus argues calendar-driven BAS is obsolete as AI compresses exploit timelines, citing 338 million simulations showing 69% prevention and a flat 14% alert score.

In a vendor opinion piece, Picus Security contends that with over 130 CVEs disclosed daily, fewer than 0.5% patched upstream, and disclosure-to-weaponized-exploit timelines near 10 hours, scheduled breach and attack simulation no longer keeps pace. The Picus Blue Report 2026, aggregating 338 million production simulations, found average prevention effectiveness of 69%, 58% of attack actions captured in the SIEM, an unchanged 14% alert score, and detection rule failures driven by performance issues (49%) and silent log collection gaps (41%). Picus proposes agentic BAS as a closed loop—simulate, validate, fix, verify—with AI-built threats and humans at decision gates.

WordPress Security Plugins: How to Choose the Right One

Sucuri's guide breaks WordPress security plugins into hardening, malware scanning, integrity monitoring, and filtering types, and explains how to evaluate and layer them.

The Sucuri guide explains that WordPress security plugins bundle five capabilities - hardening, malware detection, integrity monitoring, activity logging, and application-level filtering - and that plugins run only after WordPress loads, unlike server-level firewalls. It lists leading causes of compromise: outdated plugins and themes, weak or reused credentials, nulled premium software, insecure configuration, and shared-hosting cross-contamination. It concludes with evaluation criteria and a post-installation security checklist for owners without dedicated security teams.
