Top 10 Best Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) Tools in 2026
A 2026 scorecard ranks DSPM tools with Wiz and Cyera tied first, documenting consolidation via Palo Alto, Rubrik, Proofpoint, and CrowdStrike acquisitions.
The article ranks ten DSPM platforms: Wiz and Cyera tie at 8.7/10, followed by BigID at 8.5 and Securiti at 8.4, scored on discovery breadth, classification accuracy, access context, remediation, and value. It highlights heavy market consolidation, noting Dig Security was acquired by Palo Alto Networks, Laminar by Rubrik, Normalyze by Proofpoint, and Flow Security by CrowdStrike. Buyers are advised to purchase from current owners and confirm post-acquisition integration state.
Hierarchical NeRF with JAX3D for Volumetric Rendering, Novel-View Synthesis, and 3D Reconstruction
MarkTechPost tutorial implements a hierarchical NeRF in JAX using jax3d volume-rendering primitives for novel-view synthesis and 3D reconstruction.
The tutorial builds an end-to-end hierarchical Neural Radiance Field using JAX, Flax, Optax, and jax3d's volume-rendering functions (sample_along_rays, volume_rendering, sample_piecewise_constant_pdf). It implements positional encoding, skip connections, separate coarse and fine networks, and view-direction conditioning with hierarchical importance sampling. Training uses JAX JIT compilation, Adam optimization, exponential learning-rate decay, and gradient clipping. Evaluation covers PSNR, depth and opacity visualization, 360-degree rendering, and marching-cubes geometry extraction.
Top 10 Best CNAPP (Cloud-Native Application Protection) Platforms in 2026
GBHackers ranks 10 CNAPP platforms for 2026, naming Wiz, Prisma Cloud, and Microsoft Defender for Cloud as category leaders.
The guide describes CNAPP as the umbrella combining CSPM, CWPP, CIEM, and DSPM, arguing that cross-pillar correlation of attack paths is the platform's core value. Wiz is ranked best for graph-based correlation, Prisma Cloud for the broadest module set, and Microsoft Defender for Cloud for Azure economics. It also cites Google's approximately $32 billion agreement to acquire Wiz, announced in March 2025, as buyer leverage and a reason to seek roadmap and neutrality protections in multi-year contracts.
New Malware 'Rover' Targets Indian Ambassador to Afghanistan
Unit 42 reports a spearphishing attack delivering the custom Rover Trojan to India's Ambassador to Afghanistan, exploiting CVE-2010-3333 in Word.
On December 24, 2015, Unit 42 identified a targeted spearphishing email spoofing Indian Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, sent to India's Ambassador to Afghanistan. The RTF attachment exploited CVE-2010-3333 in Microsoft Word to download a downloader from newsumbrella.net, which retrieved the Rover Trojan and DLL plugins from 46.166.165.254. Rover uses OpenCV for webcam capture, OpenAL for audio recording and libsndfile for audio files, with data exfiltration over its C2 channel; separate payload versions target Windows XP and later systems.
