Public sector organizations face sophisticated, persistent threats — 38% of public sector organizations say their cyber resilience is insufficient compared to 10% of medium to large private businesses. With sensitive data and critical infrastructure at stake, agencies need tools that enable proactive detection and rapid investigation, all while keeping data inside a secure boundary.

It wasn’t long ago that we uncovered compromised extensions on Open VSX. Now, a new wave of attacks is emerging, and all signs point to the same threat actor. The technique will sound familiar: hidden malicious code injected with invisible Unicode Private Use Area (PUA) characters. We first saw this trick back in March when npm packages used PUAs to conceal payloads. Then came Open VSX. Now, the attacker seems to have turned their sights on GitHub, and their methods are evolving.

As the foremost email storage and communications platform, Gmail’s free web-based services have penetrated every market and niche. Billions of people and organized groups depend on the company to provide email storage, organization, and integration. Considering its core importance within almost everyone’s life, there is a high anticipation that its security measures are of the highest caliber. Unfortunately, the corporation was recently the victim of a data breach.

Companies that need to comply with CMMC to earn their governmental contracts have a lot of work ahead of them. Securing their systems against intrusion and protecting data from breaches, malicious actors, and snooping is all part and parcel of the program. One aspect of information security that can be distressingly easy to overlook is disposal.

Account takeover (ATO) protection is the frontline defense that prevents criminals from using stolen or spoofed credentials to impersonate legitimate customers. The problem is speed. In 2024, Verizon reported that phishing kits were able to harvest the first credential in under 60 seconds, while banks typically only detected fraud several hours later. That lag helped drive a staggering surge in ATO with 83% of financial institutions reporting direct business impact.

Over 13,000 WordPress sites were hacked every day in 2023, and 2025 won’t be any easier. If you own and run a WordPress site, it’s time to tighten things up with smart, simple security moves that actually work.

What is cloud application security? In this guide, we’ll explore what cloud app security means, the challenges, the evolving threat landscape, and how businesses can stay one step ahead.

Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) are tasked with securing dozens or even hundreds of client applications at once. Each client may have unique traffic patterns, custom rules, and distinct compliance needs. Managing Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) for such diverse environments can easily become chaotic if done manually or across fragmented systems. A centralized MSSP WAF dashboard changes that equation.

Managing Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules across multiple clients is one of the most critical yet challenging tasks for MSSPs. While WAFs are essential for blocking malicious traffic and protecting applications, overly aggressive rules can trigger false positives, blocking legitimate requests, and disrupting client operations. For MSSPs false positives can lead to operational inefficiencies, client dissatisfaction, and even revenue loss.

The latest 2025 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) reveals a striking shift: exploitation of vulnerabilities has surged to become the initial access vector in approximately 20% of breaches, a 34% increase over the prior year. In an environment where cyber threats evolve faster than patch cycles, enterprises no longer view penetration testing as a checkbox exercise.
