A policy written in January doesn’t know about the agent your team connected in March. That’s the AI governance problem in one line. Our Information and Security Manager breaks it down.

We’ve secured an AI patient triage app built by multiple vendors and teams. We’ve pentested LLMs and chatbots alongside web, API, mobile and infra. Same lesson every time: you can’t govern what you haven’t mapped. One shared standard beats a different control per team.

Our approach: Assess. Baseline your maturity (we use NIST 2.0). Map every AI tool, its data, its owner. Govern. Find the gaps and risks, then build the limits in with DevSecOps. Operate. Pentest it, pipe agent activity into 24/7 SOC, and decide now who pulls the kill switch.

The tech story of the week: two critical flaws just found in PHP, nicknamed PHP2Shell. You’ve probably never thought about PHP, but it’s the software behind Wikipedia, The Guardian, WordPress, and Drupal. Here’s what happened and how it got fixed.

The fix: ask whoever runs your website to install the PHP update released October 21. PHP says updating is the only complete fix. PHP 8.1 and earlier get no official update, so check with your provider.

No need to panic: the fix is out. Install it, and if you need a hand, we’re here. We’re a Mandiant Security Partner and a Fortinet Partner, ISO 27001 certified. Bring us the problem. applaudo.com/en/contact/ #PHP2Shell #Cybersecurity

Then nobody was left to check. Margaret Hamilton directed the MIT division behind Apollo’s flight software. During the descent it threw five alarms in four minutes, shedding its lowest priority jobs to keep the landing alive. She named the field: software engineering.

A field needs rules you can build on. Barbara Liskov created CLU, which introduced data abstraction, and defined the substitution principle. It is the L in SOLID. Write an interface, expect a subtype to honor it, and you are using her work today.

All of it is still running. Note G is in every algorithm. COBOL is in your bank. 1202 is in every system built to fail safely. SOLID is in your last pull request. Women are still writing that line. Some of them work here. Happy Ada Lovelace Day.

Today is Ada Lovelace Day, the international celebration of women’s achievements in science, technology, engineering and math. Five of them, and the work each one left behind that is still running today. #AdaLovelaceDay

Once machines did the math, the question was whether to trust them. Katherine Johnson computed NASA trajectories by hand. Before Friendship 7, John Glenn asked for her to check what the electronic computer produced. He would fly once she said the numbers were right.

A century later the machines were real, and the consensus was that they could only do arithmetic. Grace Hopper argued they could be programmed in something close to English. It took two years to convince anyone. Her FLOW-MATIC led to COBOL. Banks still run it.

Ada Lovelace, 1843. Asked to translate someone else’s paper on Babbage’s Analytical Engine, she added notes longer than the original. Note G is the first algorithm published for a machine. She also saw it could operate on symbols of any kind. Computing, before computers.
