DataSunrise Security Connect September 2026

If you do not see this newsletter, please click here   September 2026 DataSunrise Security Newsletter   Introducing DataSunrise 12.2   DataSunrise 12.2 broadens data security coverage across databases, files, cloud platforms, and AI services. The release adds native support for Google Cloud Spanner and IBM Db2 for i, extends Generative AI protection to uploaded files, expands DSPM workflows for Google Cloud, and adds Query Result Cache support for Vertica. It also adds new capabilities across authentication mapping, Data Discovery, reporting, and platform security. For customers and partners, 12.2 expands the environments DataSunrise can protect while keeping security policies and operational workflows consistent across deployments.     What's new in DataSunrise 12.2:       Generative AI File Inspection and Masking   DataSunrise 12.2 extends Generative AI protection to files uploaded through supported AI services. Uploaded content can now be inspected and governed by the same Audit, Security, and Dynamic Masking rules applied to other Generative AI traffic. Teams can identify sensitive data in uploaded files, log activity for audit, block risky uploads, and mask sensitive content according to policy — adding a consistent control point for organizations adopting AI tools without creating a separate security workflow.   Learn More →       Expanded DSPM Workflows for Google Cloud   DataSunrise 12.2 deepens DSPM support for Google Cloud, with improvements to BigQuery Scan and Protect workflows, Secret Manager handling, metadata settings, and public endpoint workflows. DSPM can also use GCS for report storage and downloads, work with Cloud KMS encryption key material, calculate infrastructure cost, and generate DataSunrise instance reports after Discovery or Protect runs. Together, these enhancements provide a more complete workflow for discovering, assessing, and protecting sensitive data across Google Cloud environments.   Learn More →       IBM Db2 for i (IBM i / iSeries) Support   DataSunrise 12.2 adds support for IBM Db2 for i (IBM i / iSeries) as part of the Db2 family of supported databases. DataSunrise can now connect to Db2 for i and process its traffic through the proxy, applying Audit, Security, and Dynamic Masking rules, including response masking and LOB operation handling. This allows organizations running IBM i to bring these environments under the same DataSunrise security and compliance workflows used across other supported databases.   Learn More →       Vertica Query Result Cache   Query Result Cache support is now available for Vertica. DataSunrise can cache eligible repeated SELECT query results in proxy traffic, helping reduce database load and improve response times. Vertica caching uses the same configuration and monitoring workflows already available for other supported databases, making it easier for existing DataSunrise customers to adopt and manage.   Learn More →       Also new in DataSunrise 12.2:   Authentication Mapping support for Cassandra, DataStax Enterprise, Google Cloud Bigtable, Qdrant, and ClickHouse.   Google Cloud Spanner support for Real-time Audit, Database Security, and Dynamic Masking.   AWS Single Region Mode for DSPM deployments that require region-bound processing.   Data Discovery support for Microsoft Excel XLSX and XLSM files.   Built-in PDF report generation without dependence on the legacy Java component.   Additional Sybase Dynamic Masking methods, including random phone, string, SSN, credit card, email, null, lexicon, substring, and regular expression replacement methods.   Security and authentication hardening across token-based access, OAuth validation, TLS handling, session processing, dependency updates, and sensitive credential storage.   Additional stability and reliability improvements across DataSunrise components.             Questions about DataSunrise 12.2, upgrading an existing deployment, or evaluating these capabilities for a project?   Contact your DataSunrise representative or visit our website to learn more.   datasunrise.com info@datasunrise.com       DataSunrise, Inc., 3040 78th Ave SE, Suite #273, Mercer Island, WA 98040   © Copyright DataSunrise, Inc. 2026.

Why verification outside the model matters more as AI-generated code scales

GenAI performs well on some vulnerabilities and horrendously on others. That matters for verification, release gating and secure delivery.

Webinar   AI Code Risk Is Not Uniform   The 2026 findings show where AI performs better, where it struggles, and where stronger verification matters most.   Register Now     The headline number matters. The blind spots matter even more. In the 2026 GenAI Code Security Report, AI-generated code shows major variation by vulnerability class. Some issues are handled relatively well. Others remain persistent weak points. That means the real control question is no longer “Do we allow AI- generated code?” It is “Where do we require independent verification, and how do we enforce it consistently?” This is especially relevant for security leaders balancing secure delivery with regulatory accountability. If your development workflows assume the model is the control, your risk posture is built on weak assumptions. Join this live webinar to learn how the findings should influence: Control design for AI-assisted development Release-gate policies for high-risk code paths Prioritization for the classes most likely to evade model reasoning Alignment across security, engineering, risk, and compliance We will also discuss how stronger visibility, faster remediation, and software supply chain protections help organizations manage AI-driven development with more confidence and less friction.     Register Now       36 Queen Street London, EC4R 1BN United Kingdom     emea@veracode.com      +44 (0)20 3761 5501 © 2026 Veracode Inc.

Recall that, the California Public Employees’ Retirement System, or CalPERS, is one of the largest institutional investors in the world, with total assets under management of around $637 billion reported at the mid-year. The pension has allocations to a quota share reinsurance strategy from Tangency Capital, a collateralized reinsurance or private ILS strategy from Integral ILS, and a cat bond fund strategy from Swiss Re.
