In prompt injection techniques, an attacker tries to place malicious instructions where an AI system may read them, so the model follows the attacker’s goal instead of the user’s or the company’s intended rules.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/prompt-injection-protection-detecting-and-blocking-malicious-ai-instructions/) [03 June 2026 — 4 min read ![Image 7: AI in Australian schools: Managing emerging risks while building a safer learning environment](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/9d5f24aafdd5be74cb626f18a2980656.png) AI in Australian schools: Managing emerging risks while building a safer learning environment While AI holds a lot of promise, it also introduces new cybersecurity challenges.

A normal assistant usually answers a question, summarizes a file, drafts an email or helps a user find information. An AI agent can go further. It can interpret a goal, plan several steps, use tools, call APIs, work with connected data and even take action inside a business process with some degree of autonomy.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/safe-agentic-ai-for-msps-and-smds-guardrails-tenant-isolation-access-control-human-approval/) [22 May 2026 — 8 min read ![Image 9: GenAI security management: Governing apps, agents and MCP servers through central policy](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/75a99130d5a7e7a40136eff40fdae75a.png) GenAI security management: Governing apps, agents and MCP servers through central policy Generative AI in business is no longer just one chatbot in one browser tab. In plain language, it means having one place to decide which AI is approved, who can use it, what it can connect to, what it is allowed to do and how all of that is monitored over time.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/genai-security-management-governing-apps-agents-and-mcp-servers-through-central-policy/) [15 May 2026 — 10 min read ![Image 10: What is shadow AI?

And why GenAI usage monitoring matters for MSPs and SMDs Generative AI is no longer a side experiment inside businesses. It is moving into normal work: writing, summarizing, coding, research, customer support, etc. That is why the right response to it is not a generic anti-AI message. It is observability first, then governance, then protection.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/what-is-shadow-ai-and-why-genai-usage-monitoring-matters-for-msps-and-smds/) [12 May 2026 — 7 min read ![Image 11: What are MCP and RAG?

AI is moving fast, and with that speed comes a new set of terms that many business readers are now hearing for the first time: RAG and MCP.

It is already part of daily work. MSP and SMD customers do not need a technical lecture on how GenAI's models are built. They need a plain explanation of what GenAI really is, why it is spreading so fast and why it creates a new security question.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/why-genai-brings-new-security-risks-for-msps-and-smds/) [04 May 2026 — 5 min read ![Image 13: The Mythos moment: Why agentic AI changes cybersecurity, but not in the way many think](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/d7fb3c6d9bc04132ad5f8323017ca0d5.png) The Mythos moment: Why agentic AI changes cybersecurity, but not in the way many think Anthropic’s announcement of Claude Mythos Preview may end up being remembered as the moment the cybersecurity industry had to stop talking about agentic AI as a future concept and start treating it as a present security variable.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/the-mythos-moment-why-agentic-ai-changes-cybersecurity-but-not-in-the-way-many-think/) [1](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/categories/genai-security/page/1/) [2](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/categories/genai-security/page/2/) [3](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/categories/genai-security/page/3/)
