At a time when cyber threats seem to escalate daily, security teams are always on the lookout for new ways to protect their sensitive data and systems. For some, Privileged Access Workstations (PAWs) are being viewed as one solution to keep privileged accounts and critical systems safe from compromise. These are specialized workstations built for administrators and users who manage highly sensitive environments.

The terms “patch management” and “vulnerability management“ are not the same. And that difference is a big difference. They may be confused because applying patches is one of the many ways to mitigate cyber risks. However, it is one piece of the entire vulnerability management puzzle and organizations that do not realize this are burdened with a false sense of security.

Connecting all your company resources in a network for sharing is valuable, but you need a way to verify that only authorized users and devices can access these resources. Authentication serves this purpose by providing methods for users and devices to prove their identity. In Windows environments, two main authentication protocols are used: NTLM (New Technology LAN Manager) and Kerberos. In this article we will discuss NTLM vs Kerberos and show why it is important to implement Kerberos if possible.

Earlier this year, security researchers found more than 1 million records, including user data and API keys, in an exposed DeepSeek database. This massive exposure event tells us that data exfiltration risk and AI proliferation are forever linked together: as AI tools grow in popularity and complexity, exfiltration risk rises in kind.

In cybersecurity, the adage “what’s old is new” continues to hold true as attackers resurface longstanding techniques or repurpose them with new twists and adaptations. The popularization of Living Off the Land Binaries (LOLBins) — legitimate, Windows-native tools commonly abused for malicious uses — is a great example of this.

CVE-2025-1974 is a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in Kubernetes’ Ingress-NGINX Controller that allows unauthenticated attackers with network access to inject arbitrary NGINX configuration directives, potentially leading to full cluster compromise. Ingress-NGINX is a software-only ingress controller provided by the Kubernetes project. Because of its versatility and ease of use, ingress-nginx is quite popular: it is deployed in over 40% of Kubernetes clusters.

Universities are built for openness, but that openness comes with a steep price. Higher education institutions face an average of 3,574 cyberattacks per week, the highest of any industry. With open networks, unmanaged devices, and critical research infrastructure, they have become a prime target for cybercriminals, nation-state actors, and ransomware groups.

Attackers thrive in the shadows, using MITRE ATT&CK T1564 - Hide Artifacts to cloak their presence with hidden files, concealed processes, and manipulated registry keys. These stealth tactics allow adversaries to evade detection, persist undetected, and escalate their access — all while quietly exfiltrating data or disrupting operations. Imagine files, processes, and even user accounts disappearing in your environment without a trace.

When we first introduced Pages, it started with a few updates to our forms tool. We took a simple form and added more dynamic page elements and a formal page editor. That led to granular access, customization, and so much more to make it the powerful feature it is today. Now, teams can build polished and efficient apps for stronger collaboration and communication across the entire organization.
