Recently, I started working with my children's school to enhance their online safety measures and develop a digital mindfulness course in collaboration with their digital literacy lead. This experience highlighted the fact that our schools are not only expected to provide safe places of learning but also extend that safety into the digital spaces.

Berachain is a novel blockchain created to solve consensus mechanism incentive misalignment. For traditional Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchains, users have to lock their assets in order to participate in the security model and earn staking rewards. This results in incentive misalignment as the projects building on these blockchains want activity and volumes – this competes with the native security mechanism of staking which requires assets to be locked up.

Two newcomers have made their way onto the ransomware threat group stage, becoming the biggest threat to the energy and utilities sector in 2025. According to the most recent data from Trustwave SpiderLabs’ Energy and Utilities Sector Deep Dive: Ransomware Threat Groups, Hunters International and Qilin (pronounced Chee Lin) displaced LockBit as the most active group attacking these sectors.

Cyber Awareness/Data Privacy Week 2025 has once again come and gone, and provides a stark reminder to take a closer look at your organization’s approach to cybersecurity. This annual event is not only a call to action for IT professionals but also a critical learning opportunity for everyday office workers. With cyber threats evolving daily, safeguarding your organization’s data is everyone’s collective responsibility.

Automatic Zero Trust protection. Bulk labeling of files. Easy-to-use tools. Here’s 3 ways to secure external collaboration without impeding workflows. Just as one broken link can disrupt a physical supply chain, it only takes one security gap to infect a digital supply chain. Digital supply chains are as vital to modern workflows as they are fallible to attack. From infected software to accidental third-party leaks, one single vendor can bring down the whole supply chain.

For security teams, resolving a cloud incident takes an average of 10 days — time attackers can exploit to cause further damage. The problem? SOCs often lack the context and cloud security automation they need to respond faster. That’s where the partnership between Torq and Sweet Security changes the game.

Are You Testing for Compliance or Preparing for Real Attacks? Cybersecurity isn’t just about checking boxes—it’s about staying ahead of threats. Many businesses rely on Penetration Testing (Pentesting) and Red Teaming to identify vulnerabilities. However, these traditional methods often assume that attackers play by the same rules as defenders. Reality has other plans.

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is a landmark regulation designed to enhance the digital resilience of financial institutions in the EU. Effective from January 17, 2025, DORA mandates the development and maintenance of a robust ICT risk management framework. Here’s an overview of the five pillars and how the right software security measures can help you comply.

During 2024’s Birthday Week, we launched an AI bot & crawler traffic graph on Cloudflare Radar that provides visibility into which bots and crawlers are the most aggressive and have the highest volume of requests, which crawl on a regular basis, and more. Today, we are launching a new dedicated “AI Insights” page on Cloudflare Radar that incorporates this graph and builds on it with additional metrics that you can use to understand AI-related trends from multiple perspectives.

Data breaches continue to cost organizations millions of dollars each year, with costs rising steadily. According to IBM's 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average cost of a data breach has surged to $4.88 million globally, reflecting the increasing complexity and sophistication of cyberattacks.
