Cyber Warfare Comes to West Michigan: What the Stryker Cyberattack Means for Manufacturing

In March 2026, one of West Michigan's most recognizable manufacturers found itself at the center of a major cybersecurity incident. Medical technology company Stryker, headquartered near Grand Rapids, experienced a widespread cyberattack that reportedly disrupted systems across its global network.

How to Compare Cloud Security Tools for Incident Response

Why do traditional incident response playbooks break in Kubernetes? Pods spin up and disappear in seconds, destroying forensic evidence before you can investigate. Attackers exploit service account tokens and move laterally through east-west traffic that perimeter tools never see—over 50% of ransomware deploys within 24 hours of initial access, leaving no time for manual investigation methods built for static servers.

5 Ways Managed Security Services Protect Small and Mid-Sized Businesses

Cybersecurity has become a major concern for organizations of every size. However, small and mid-sized businesses often face a unique challenge: they must protect their systems and data without the large internal security teams that many enterprises rely on. At the same time, cybercriminals increasingly target smaller organizations because they may have fewer resources dedicated to cybersecurity.

The Resilience Retainer: Incident Response Retainers, Reimagined

Too many organizations today still rely on "legacy" retainer models. These traditional contracts are often rigid, opaque, and reactive, and designed for a world that no longer exists. That’s why LevelBlue is proud to announce the Resilience Retainer. This is a modern, flexible approach built on our experience of handling more than 9,000 cyber incidents worldwide. This up-to-date approach is a necessity, given the long-lasting impact an incident can have.

CrowdStrike Achieves NCSC CIR Assurance for Incident Response

CrowdStrike has been independently assessed and assured against the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) Cyber Incident Response (CIR) Standard, a UK government-backed standard designed to help organizations identify incident response providers with the capability, governance, and technical competence to manage serious cyber incidents.

How to Integrate Breach Notification into Your Incident Response Plan

Operational disruptions, regulatory mandates and reputational risks now make data breach notification a strategic necessity. To ensure breach notification is truly impactful, it must be seamlessly integrated into an organization’s incident response plan, for timely, compliant and coordinated communication following cybersecurity incidents.

CCPA Incident Response: Responding to Website Tracking Violations

Most websites host tracking systems that change continuously, tag by tag, pixel by pixel, version to version, often without anyone in privacy touching a line of code. Marketing adds a session replay script through the tag manager. Vendors quietly push updates to the tags. By the time it’s noticed in the next periodic review, the damage is done. Drift in tag behaviour leads to consent violations. And tracking scripts load and process data despite GCP signals.

How Cybersecurity Impacts Criminal Defense Today

A phone that will not unlock can stall an entire case before the paperwork is even filed. A cloud account login from a new device can flip the narrative in minutes, because the trail people once chased through witnesses now runs through alerts, access records, and exported chats. That shift is easy to miss until you are the one trying to explain what happened, and you realize the first questions are no longer just "where were you" but "which device," "whose credentials," and "what did the logs record."

6 Steps for Effective Data Exfiltration Incident Response

Data exfiltration incidents are some of the hardest cases to handle in DFIR. There’s no malware signature, no ransom demand, and usually, no clear intrusion point. You just get a vague alert (or worse, a tip from legal), and suddenly, you’re under pressure to figure out what data was taken, how it happened, and whether any evidence still exists. Miss one key detail, and you risk losing the trail. Or in some cases, corrupting evidence that legal teams or regulators will need later.
