Revenge, Fame, and Fun: The Motives Behind Modern Cyberattacks

Ever wondered what really drives today's cyberattacks? It's not always just about stealing data or demanding a ransom. Motives can vary widely depending on the attacker, their intent, and their capabilities. In the most simple terms, a cyberattack is a malicious intent to access, steal, expose, or destroy data and systems without authorized access. Every attack typically involves a motive or goal, a method of execution, and a vulnerability that's exploited to achieve the intended outcome.

Embedded Wallets: Build Self-Custody Wallets in Just Days

Digital wallets are the gateway to on-chain applications—and the expectations for how they’re delivered have changed. Product and engineering teams want more speed, less complexity, and full control over the user experience. They’re looking to test in hours, and go live this week. That’s exactly why we launched Embedded Wallets: a faster, lighter way to deploy white-labeled, secure self-custody wallets inside any app or service. No backend dependencies. No weeks-long integration.

What is DMARC? DMARC Records and Their Role in Cybersecurity

In the current digital landscape, email security has become ever more important as cybercriminals frequently exploit vulnerabilities in email architectures to launch phishing attacks, steal sensitive information, and spoof legitimate domains. Since 2012, DMARC has become a cornerstone of modern email security, reducing the cyberattacks that occur via phishing and spoofing attacks in the process.

Why AI Trust Will Shape Your Next Decade of Software Development

AI is often compared to electricity, but without trust, it’s just a live wire. As organizations adopt AI to move faster, reduce manual effort, and push the boundaries of what’s possible, one truth is becoming clear: trust in AI isn’t optional. It’s foundational. And for software development teams, AI Trust is now the north star that guides safe, scalable innovation.

Total MDR: Real-Time Security for the Whole Attack Surface

Most security tools generate alerts and leave the rest to you. Organizations are already drowning in noise, short on time, and stretched thin on security staff. WatchGuard Total MDR replaces noise with action by delivering the response your team doesn’t have time for. This fully managed, 24/7 MDR service continuously monitors detections across your environment across endpoint, network, identity, and cloud to take real action when threats strike.

Nightfall Product Updates & News: May/June 2025

Sensitive data is zooming across dozens of platforms every day, from Slack to email to gen AI platforms and many more sources. We all need this connectivity to stay productive, but the connectivity also creates countless opportunities for data to slip through the cracks. A single misplaced email attachment can end up exposing confidential information in a matter of seconds.

The privacy illusion: when deleting your data doesn't actually delete your data

Let’s talk about privacy—specifically, the kind you thought you had when you hit “delete.” OpenAI received a court order to retain every single ChatGPT conversation, even the ones you erased. Yep. Even the awkward ones. Even the ones that start with, “Hypothetically, if I were to…” Why? Because The New York Times is suing them over copyright, and now everyone’s deleted chats are potential evidence.

SOC Burn Out Is Real: Improve Detection Without the Noise

“Too many alerts mean missing the real threats.” Alert fatigue is one of the top threats to a SOC’s performance. When everything looks like a threat, nothing does. The tradeoff is disabling rules, overly tuning rules, or simply ignoring alerts just to stay afloat. The risk? High-value, low-noise threats slip through the cracks.

Now on AWS Marketplace: CyberArk Enterprise Support for cert-manager

Running Kubernetes on Amazon EKS? You’re likely already using cert-manager—the open source standard for TLS and mTLS certificate automation in Kubernetes clusters. Today, we’re excited to announce that CyberArk Enterprise Support for cert-manager is now available through AWS Marketplace, giving EKS customers a direct path to operational reliability, compliance, and expert support at scale.

Defending at Machine Speed: Guiding LLMs with Security Context

Large Language Models (LLMs) provide strong reasoning and data summarization capabilities, making them valuable proxies for a variety of cybersecurity operations tasks. However, their performance can decline when applied to highly specific or enterprise-contextual tasks, particularly if the models rely solely on public internet data.
