Protect Applications Manager logins with CAPTCHA validation

Oct 5, 2026 By Shruthi Ramasubramanian In ManageEngine
Login pages are one of the most attacked surfaces of any enterprise tool. They're often internet-facing, they're the front door to sensitive operational data, and unlike most vulnerabilities, they don't need to be discovered—they can simply be targeted with large volumes of automated attempts. For monitoring platforms like Applications Manager, which frequently sit with visibility into critical infrastructure, that front door matters even more.

A Simpler Way We Release and Support Every Product

Oct 5, 2026 By One Identity In One Identity
A plain-language look at our new release and support policy — and what it means for you, no matter which product you run. For customers and partners, release and support practices have not always been easy to interpret. Different products used different terms for similar things — major and minor releases, patch releases, hotfixes — which made it hard to know which release to adopt, how long it would be supported, or whether a given update added functionality or only fixed something.

Oct 5, 2026 By Robert Kraczek In One Identity
Identity security conversations often arrive at the same unfortunate scenario: a stolen token and breach only discovered once major damage is done. Experts Rob Kraczek, global strategist at One Identity, and Chris Ray, field CTO of security and risk at GigaOm, recently unpacked why 3 a.m. token theft has become less exception, more routine — among other things.

Insider risk starts with who can read the data

Oct 5, 2026 By Dan Piazza In Netwrix
Insider risk is often framed as an external attacker problem, but a real blind spot sits closer to home: who inside your own security stack can open sensitive files they never needed to see. Classification tools that require broad scanning access often hand that same access to every admin who configures them, turning the tool meant to reduce exposure into another path to it. The people with the least oversight, your own admins, can end up with the most unchecked visibility into regulated data.

Convergence of ITDR, PAM and IGA. Which of the three is standing there when the attack lands?

Oct 5, 2026 By Tatiana Severina In Netwrix
Our 2026 Identity and Data Security Report put compromised identity ahead of misconfigured permissions as the leading route to unauthorized access, 41.8% against 33.9%. If identity is the way in, the controls around identity belong together, and that's the reasoning behind most of the consolidation we've seen over the past few years. But how is the work split up?

Construction firms rely on purpose-built platforms like Procore to coordinate RFIs and submittals, document field activity, track progress, and keep projects on schedule. But managing project execution is only one part of the information lifecycle—teams need a way to capture and connect project information across departments, applications, partners, and project phases.

[Cybersecurity Awareness Month] Cyber Espionage: When the Attacker's Best Asset Is You

Oct 5, 2026 By Erich Kron In KnowBe4
Spies have always relied on technology, disguises, secret communications and clever gadgets, at least if the movies are to be believed. But some of the most effective tools in the espionage business have always been people. Convince the right person to open a door, reveal a secret or trust someone they should not, and suddenly bypassing the sophisticated security system becomes unnecessary.

Threat Actors Abuse Trusted Accounts and Internal Tools to Launch Convincing BEC Attacks

Oct 5, 2026 By KnowBe4 Team In KnowBe4
Attackers are continually finding new ways to refine business email compromise (BEC) attacks, according to Douglas McKee, Director of Vulnerability Intelligence at Rapid7. When attackers compromise trusted tools and accounts, they can manipulate victims’ view of reality. One way attackers can achieve this is through what McKee calls “calendar warfare,” in which attackers use calendar meetings to trick users into falling for attacks.
