Why Threat Actor Context Matters for Cyber Risk Prioritization

Feb 26, 2026 By Emma Stevens In BitSight
Cyber threat intelligence is often presented as a catalog of named threat actors, past incidents, and attribution labels that promise clarity. For defenders trying to understand risk, this structure feels reassuring. It suggests that threats can be identified, tracked, and anticipated based on observed behaviors. In practice, that confidence is often overstated.

Beyond Indicators: Gaining Context with Adversary Intelligence

Feb 24, 2026 By Shir David In BitSight
Actions have consequences. In cybersecurity, we often only see actions at the surface level: a suspicious IP, a new domain, or a single mention on a dark web forum. For threat hunters, the consequences of treating these actions as isolated incidents are significant. These signals are rarely "one-offs." They are the visible tips of coordinated campaigns built on months of planning, spanning multiple tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). Today’s adversaries are organized.

Why Patching Cadence Should Be a Risk Priority in 2026

Feb 19, 2026 By Emma Stevens In BitSight
Patching cadence is a critical component of maintaining an organization’s cybersecurity posture. It refers not just to whether patches are applied, but how quickly and consistently vulnerabilities are addressed across systems and software. A regular, timely patching process reduces the window of exposure to known vulnerabilities, limiting opportunities for exploitation and strengthening overall vulnerability management.

A Match Made in Heaven: How Valentine's Day Fuels Seasonal Phishing Attacks

Feb 12, 2026 By Emma Stevens In BitSight
Valentine’s Day runs on emotion. Surprise, urgency, curiosity, trust, love. For threat actors, that combination is hard to beat. Every year in mid-February, security teams see the same pattern. Phishing campaigns pick up. Brand impersonation increases. Fraud attempts follow close behind. It is not because attackers suddenly developed new techniques.

Dark Web Intelligence for Supply Chains: From Reactive TPRM to Threat-Led Defense

Feb 10, 2026 By Vanessa Jankowski In BitSight
Modern cyberattacks rarely start where defenders are looking. Instead of targeting the enterprise head-on, attackers increasingly move through sprawling ecosystems of vendors, suppliers, and partners, exploiting trust relationships, weak controls, and delayed visibility.

Is your vendor data a source of insight-or just more noise?

Feb 4, 2026 By Bitsight In BitSight
For many risk and compliance leaders, the reality of Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) is a mountain of disorganized spreadsheets, overflowing inboxes, and endless PDFs. When an audit is seven days away or the Board asks for a risk posture update, documentation overload becomes a liability. In this video, we explore the transition from vendor chaos to risk clarity. The Challenge.

Automating Cybersecurity Governance: How Bitsight Is Expanding AI-Powered Workflows Across SPM and VRM

Feb 4, 2026 By Raquel Oliveira In BitSight
Security governance was never meant to be this manual. Yet for most security and third-party risk teams, governance work still means reviewing documents line by line, mapping controls by hand, interpreting evidence subjectively, and repeating the same processes across internal teams, subsidiaries, and vendors. These activities are critical, but they’re also slow, inconsistent, and difficult to scale. At Bitsight, we believe cybersecurity governance should move at the speed of risk.

Manic Monday: A Day in the Life of Threat Hunting

Feb 2, 2026 By Shir David In BitSight
John, a Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) analyst, turns to look at his CISO. He seems a bit rattled. John responds, “Yeah. Huge story.” “Massive. The board is worried and wants to know if this puts us at risk. We’re secure, right?” John hesitates.“Let me get back to you on that.” The CISO walks away. John races to his desk.
