Periodic vulnerability scans should no longer be an acceptable standard by any security-minded organization. What is needed is the ability for MSSPs to quickly identify and prioritize risks across all client environments. To enable this capability LevelBlue has developed and rolled out LevelBlue Exposure Management for Partners. This solution delivers continuous visibility, meaningful context, and clarity around how risks could impact the business.

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.

Self-evaluation in any area, especially cybersecurity, can be difficult, but in an age when supply chains are long and third-party attacks are common, understanding your vendor’s cybersecurity posture is key.

It enables organizations to hold a mirror up to their online presence and see how it appears to others, particularly threat actors.

Microsoft has made significant gains in the cybersecurity market, earning top rankings from leading analyst firms such as IDC and Forrester for its endpoint protection and threat detection and response capabilities.

But technology alone does not deliver outcomes.

The Asia-Pacific region is home to the highest concentration of manufacturing sites on the planet, so it comes as no surprise that manufacturers here absorb more attacks than the rest of the world combined.

Many are concerned about threat actors using AI to attack their organization, while at the same time attempting to convince their leadership to invest in AI as a defensive measure.

I have managed Alliances for more years than I can count on two hands, and the best results I’ve seen come from genuine collaboration. Shared planning and learning, along with honest conversations about what’s working and what needs to improve. When that happens, clients benefit most.

Connected products, whether IoT, IIoT, embedded, mobile, or other such devices, serve to either strengthen or undermine an organization’s security posture and reputation. As device ecosystems grow in complexity, manufacturers must secure embedded hardware, firmware, over-the-air (OTA) update mechanisms, companion mobile applications, cloud services and APIs, and RF interfaces. Each layer introduces distinct attack surfaces that adversaries actively target.
