Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

The Governor’s Technology Office (GTO) of the State of Nevada recently released an “After Action Report” on the statewide ransomware attack that disrupted state systems for nearly one month in August 2025. The report details not only what happened but also the coordinated incident response from the GTO, vendors and law enforcement partners from local, state and federal agencies.

Identifying and redacting personally identifiable information (PII) is a critical need for enterprises handling sensitive data. Over 1000 NLP models and tools claim to solve this problem, but an infinite number of options opens a paradox of choice. We compiled this comprehensive comparison that examines notable PII detection solutions – their features, use cases, pros/cons, and reported success rates.

MSPs often rely on managed detection and response (MDR) integrations, which provides enterprise-grade security capabilities without the need for in-house analysts or complex infrastructure. As MSPs grow into medium-sized businesses, they typically expand into extended detection and response (XDR) integrations, giving greater visibility across multiple security layers (endpoints, networks and cloud) and more control over how they manage and respond to threats.

Converge 2025 keynotes opened with a clear message: resilience isn’t enough in an era of complexity and AI-driven threats. Here’s how Tanium and its customers are shaping the future of Autonomous IT.

SEO poisoning has become a major driver of phishing‑driven credential theft. Attackers manipulate search engine results and paid ads so users click on what appears to be a legitimate brand link, only to land on a fake website built to steal login credentials. Attackers combine domain abuse, cloaking, and keyword hijacking to move malicious pages to the top of search results.

The best part about my job is that I sometimes get to make some controversial statements. Well, as controversial as things can be in a niche area of cybersecurity like “what is a reasonable measure of vulnerability risk?” Along with my colleague Sander Vinberg we got to explore this question earlier this year at the second Annual VulnCon conference in Raleigh. Even though it’s only been held twice, it is quickly becoming one of my favorite conferences.

Remember the early days of remote work? We traded our cubicles for kitchen tables and suddenly, our homes became our headquarters. This shift to the Hybrid Workforce has been incredible for flexibility, but let’s be honest: it tossed the old corporate security playbook out the window. The old way was easy: a big firewall at the office door, and you were safe. Now, that “door” is every employee’s home router, every personal laptop, and every late-night click when fatigue sets in.

Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue; it is a strategic imperative that touches every aspect of modern business. In today’s digital landscape, organizations face increasingly sophisticated threats that can disrupt operations, tarnish reputations, and lead to significant financial losses. A unified approach that integrates cybersecurity with governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) strategies is the key to building robust defenses.

For every organization, no matter the size or industry, the integrity and security of data is more crucial than ever as it faces the possibility of a cyber breach everyday. But what separates a company that bounces back quickly from one that suffers irreparable damage? The answer largely resides in how promptly and accurately the breach is reported and how it is handled thereafter.

Malicious threat actors don’t work a 9-to-5 schedule, and they definitely don’t take a break when your organization’s annual security assessments are complete. Instead, they constantly put your security posture to the test—day after day, month after month, all year long. That’s why annual penetration tests and periodic validation campaigns are insufficient in today’s threat landscape.
