Is SCORM Still Relevant in 2026?

SCORM standard timeline from 2000 to 2026 showing continued enterprise LMS dominance despite newer standards

SCORM turns 25 this year. The standard has been declared dead at least once every two years since 2015, and every time, the corporate LMS market responds by continuing to ship it as the default option.

If you are evaluating a training platform in 2026, the SCORM question is real. You want to know whether the format will still be supported five years from now, whether newer standards like xAPI or cmi5 offer meaningful advantages, and whether your LMS can actually read them.

The short answer: SCORM is not dead, not replaced, and not going anywhere in the enterprise training stack this decade. The longer answer has caveats.

AI Data Leakage

AI data leakage illustration - employee pasting confidential code into a chatbot window with data flowing to external servers

Samsung’s semiconductor division banned ChatGPT in May 2023 after three employees leaked confidential data in under a month. One engineer pasted proprietary source code to debug an error. Another submitted internal meeting notes to generate a summary. A third uploaded chip manufacturing measurements to get yield calculations. Each person was trying to do their job faster. Each left a copy of Samsung’s trade secrets on an OpenAI server.

Within weeks, Apple, JPMorgan, Bank of America, Verizon, Amazon, Goldman Sachs, and Deutsche Bank had followed with their own restrictions. The calculus was the same at every company. The productivity gains were real, but so was the risk of employees turning consumer AI tools into a data exfiltration channel nobody had authorized.

Two years later, the bans have softened into policies, and the policies have softened into training gaps. Most employees still don’t understand what happens to the text they paste into an AI chat window. This is the core of OWASP LLM02, the sensitive information disclosure risk that sits second on the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications.

Quishing (QR Code Phishing): How to Stop It

Quishing attack flow showing a malicious QR code being scanned by a phone and redirecting to a fake login page for credential harvesting

Quishing is phishing delivered through a QR code. The attacker encodes a malicious URL inside a square of pixels, drops it into a corporate email or prints it over a legitimate sign, and lets the target’s phone do the rest. Email filters see an image, not a link. The victim scans on a personal device that sits outside every corporate security control. That mismatch is what makes quishing work.
