According to Rapid7’s latest Cyber Threat Landscape Report, confirmed exploitation of newly disclosed high- and critical-severity vulnerabilities (CVSS 7-10) increased 105% year to 146 in 2025, up from 71 in 2024. Moreover, the median time from vulnerability publication…

Weak at the seams
Before I ever held a security title, I was a software engineer implementing vertically integrated automation systems for industrial manufacturing, warehouse-scale conveyor networks, robotic material handling, physical infrastructure controlled by software on increasingly connected networks. I learned early that tightly coupled systems produce tightly coupled failures. When a single software fault could halt a distribution…

Building Phishing Detection That Works: 3 Steps for CISOs
90% of attacks start with phishing. For CISOs, the real pain begins when the SOC cannot quickly tell whether a suspicious alert is just noise or the start of credential theft, account compromise, malware delivery, or wider business disruption. Modern phishing campaigns are designed to create exactly that uncertainty. QR codes, redirect chains, CAPTCHAs, phishing kits, and AI-generated lures can all hide the real objective until late…

Forest Blizzard leverages router compromises to launch AiTM attacks, target Outlook sessions
Russian threat actor Forest Blizzard has been exploiting unsecured home and small-office internet equipment, such as routers, to redirect traffic through attacker-controlled DNS servers. The group has leveraged this DNS hijacking activity to support post-compromise adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) attacks on Transport Layer Security (TLS) connections, targeting Microsoft Outlook on the web domains, according to a Microsoft…

The zero-day timeline just collapsed. Here’s what security leaders do next
A zero-day is not frightening because it is sophisticated. It is frightening because it is unknown. There is no patch in the moment it matters most. That single condition undermines the comfort most security programs rely on: time. In the past, attackers didn’t need zero-days because they relied on predictable failures in patching and credential…

The tabletop exercise grows up
In the early 1800s, Prussian officers began rehearsing battles around sand tables. They called it Kriegsspiel, and it worked because it forced them to make high-stakes decisions under pressure. Fast forward to today, and that same concept has become cybersecurity’s go-to tool for crisis preparedness: the tabletop exercise. For good reason: it still works. Full…

5 practical steps to strengthen attack resilience with attack surface management
Every asset you manage expands your attack surface. Internet‑facing applications, cloud workloads, credentials, endpoints, and third‑party integrations all represent potential entry points for attackers. As environments grow more distributed, that exposure expands faster than most security teams can track manually. Attack surface management (ASM) helps answer a critical question for IT security teams: What can…

5 steps to strengthen supply chain security and improve cyber resilience
Supply chain attacks have rapidly become one of the most damaging and difficult threats facing IT and security teams. When an adversary compromises a trusted vendor, software component, cloud service, or MSP tool, they bypass traditional defenses and enter through the front door. For organizations managing distributed environments, and for MSPs supporting dozens or hundreds…
