Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

There was little evidence of a summer wind-down in July’s global developments on digital assets. So much so, it is somehow mid-August already! Below are the digital asset policy developments that caught my attention most since the last roundup.

Enterprises are making bold, strategic changes in their tech stack to ramp it up by incorporating AI. With positive results of AI showing, investments are rapidly flowing in – but all this does not come without consequences. Today, privacy has become a key concern around safe AI use, especially without strong guardrails. Managing innovation and compliance risks become a challenge for SaaS product managers unless they know the right way of balancing both.

Effective governance and compliance frameworks empower organizations to manage staff with clarity and consistency.

Another year, another Black Hat USA. And what a show it was as thousands descended on the Entertainment Capital of the World. The conference returned to the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas with a packed six-day program, kicking off with four days of specialized cybersecurity trainings, followed by the main expo on August 6-7.

On August 13, security researchers at Tel Aviv University disclosed a new HTTP/2 denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability that they are calling MadeYouReset (CVE-2025-8671). This vulnerability exists in a limited number of unpatched HTTP/2 server implementations that do not sufficiently enforce restrictions on the number of times a client may send malformed frames. If you’re using Cloudflare for HTTP DDoS mitigation, you’re already protected from MadeYouReset.

CVE-2025-53770 and CVE-2025-53771 are critical remote code execution vulnerabilities (CVSS base score 9.8) impacting Microsoft SharePoint, a widely deployed enterprise collaboration and content management platform. In this blog, we will simulate the exploitation of this SharePoint RCE vulnerability and analyze the resulting telemetry inside Graylog.

The question isn’t whether security information and event management (SIEM) is dead. The real question is whether the traditional model of SIEM still serves today’s defenders. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t. Born from compliance needs and static rules, first-generation SIEMs provided log collection and correlation but not context. They buried analysts in noise and left threat detection slow, brittle, and expensive. But that’s changing.

The importance of a cybersecurity vendor being Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) authorized cannot be understated. In February 2025, after a multi-year process, Trustwave achieved full FedRAMP authorization for its Government Fusion platform, becoming the first pure-play Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provider to do so.

As security researchers, we actively monitor the latest CVEs and their publicly available exploits to create signatures. Beyond CVEs, we also hunt for malware on platforms such as MalwareBazaar, which enhances our visibility into attacks occurring across networks. Today, we'll demonstrate a simple workflow showing how researchers use various tools to collect indicators of compromise (IOCs) and develop appropriate signatures from detonated malware.

IBM’s 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report offers one of the clearest and most comprehensive views yet of how AI adoption is shaping the security landscape. While breach numbers are relatively low – only 13% of organizations reported breaches involving AI models or applications – the report reveals a troubling pattern: APIs and integrations are often the real entry point, and they’re frequently under-secured. At Wallarm, we’ve been banging this drum for a while.
