Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) was once the go-to method for monitoring network traffic, but it now struggles to detect today’s evasive, multi-stage cyberattacks that are spread across multiple channels and hidden deep within payloads. Fragmented visibility, surface-level scanning, and a lack of contextual understanding mean that malicious activity often slips through unnoticed, putting security teams constantly on the back foot.

External Attack Surface Management (EASM) emerged with a bold promise: to illuminate the dark corners of an organization’s internet-facing infrastructure. It was sold as a panacea for “you don’t know what you don’t know,” offering security leaders the ability to see everything attackers could see. The expectation was straightforward—feed the EASM solution a few IP ranges or domains, and it would map your exposed assets, vulnerabilities, and risks.

KnowBe4 ThreatLabs has identified and analyzed a sophisticated cross-platform phishing campaign that utilizes Telegram as its primary exfiltration channel. The campaign uses a combination of security-themed phishing emails, branded phishing websites to harvest credentials, and Telegram bots to exfiltrate data.

Fireblocks is now working with Calastone, the largest global funds network, to support Web3 connectivity within Calastone’s Tokenised Distribution solution, a first-of-its-kind solution enabling asset managers to tokenize any fund on Calastone’s network and distribute it across blockchains such as Ethereum and Polygon. Fireblocks is providing secure infrastructure components that enable integration with Web3-native distributors.

At RSAC 2025, Snyk focused on the future of cybersecurity, particularly the impact of generative AI on software security. We connected with key leaders and partners to advance this discussion and anticipate further progress in 2025.

Container security starts with your base image. But here’s the catch: In this post, we’ll explore why updating base images is harder than it seems, walk through real examples, and show how you can automate safe, intelligent upgrades without breaking your app.

Whether they use custom implants for persistence, zero days for initial access, or live off the land (LOTL) to avoid detection, finding a state-sponsored adversary group can be a challenging proposition for defenders. This can be particularly true for adversaries that are sponsored by the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Historically, their focus has been on espionage and intellectual property theft.

In early May 2025, Cisco released software fixes to address a flaw in its IOS XE Software for Wireless LAN Controllers (WLCs). The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-20188, has a CVSS score of 10.0 and could enable an unauthenticated, remote attacker to upload arbitrary files to a susceptible system – but the real story is that this vulnerability drives home the persistent risks associated with hardcoded credentials, particularly JSON Web Tokens (JWTs), in network infrastructure components.

This past month, the Vanta team launched new features to help you: ‍

Game development studios face enormous pressure to deliver immersive, high-performance experiences on a rigid schedule, all while ensuring that every release meets the highest standards for quality and security. For security teams, keeping up with fast-moving codebases, short release cycles, and a flood of vulnerabilities is no easy feat.
