Shared workstations are essential to productivity in manufacturing, but they can also create blind spots in your organization’s security. Inadequate identity verification, poor security practices, and a lack of accountability make them a prime target for ransomware, phishing, and insider attacks. Security leaders often aren’t sure about where to begin when securing shared workstations.

I still remember the soft whir of the server room fans and that faint smell of ozone when we, a team of cybersecurity analysts, traced a spike in traffic to a “harmless” low-code workflow. A store manager had built a nifty dashboard to pull sales numbers. It looked tidy, almost playful – boxes, arrows, green check marks. Under the hood, it was hitting an internal API without proper authentication.

CrowdStrike has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Incident Response Services 2025 Vendor Assessment. We believe this validation reflects CrowdStrike’s strength in delivering rapid, effective response, powered by the AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon platform, frontline breach expertise, and a global 24/7 incident response model designed for today’s most advanced threats.

Today, I’m excited to announce CrowdStrike’s agreement to acquire Onum, a leader in real-time telemetry pipeline management that will extend the CrowdStrike Falcon platform’s data advantage. Onum delivers the real-time data architecture to transform data in motion into high-fidelity intelligence, fueling CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM and powering the agentic SOC. This is a pivotal step forward in our mission to stop breaches.

On August 26, 2025, Nx, the popular build platform with millions of weekly downloads, was compromised with credential-harvesting malware. Using GitGuardian's monitoring data, we analyzed the exfiltrated credentials and reconstructed a fuller scope of exposure.

The old phrase “we’re only human, after all” is what cyber-adversaries are relying upon to gain access to intellectual property, data, and credentials. Adversaries prey on the humanity in us to read an unsolicited email, act out of a sense of urgency, or succumb to their scare tactics. We are bombarded with social engineering scams daily. Why do some of us fall victim while others see through veiled attempts at getting us to relinquish something of value?

If your organization collects personal information from Canadian residents—whether through e-commerce websites, SaaS applications, or marketing platforms—PIPEDA likely applies to you. The challenge? PIPEDA’s principles-based framework is intentionally broad, making it difficult for organizations to know where they stand. One of the most overlooked areas of compliance is the client-side of web applications, where third-party scripts, pixels, and tag managers quietly handle customer data.

Every audit turns up a few surprises. A missing patch here. A policy that was missing a few key processes. An employee training record that slipped through the cracks. Together all of these gaps tell a story: somewhere, a control isn’t doing what you expect. ‍ In GRC, we give those events names, issues, risks, and exceptions, and the way they connect is what separates a reactive program from a resilient one. ‍

Coralogix is excited to announce a major enhancement to our Unified Threat Intelligence (UTI) capabilities – now with expanded IOC matching beyond IPs. While our earlier focus was primarily on detecting malicious IP addresses, threats have evolved. Attackers now hide behind encrypted traffic, disposable domains, and polymorphic files. To stay ahead, we’ve normalized new critical fields – JA3, JA4, domain, URL, and file hash and integrated them into our UTI engine.
