When a new vulnerability is announced, the race begins. Security teams jump into action, checking exposure, triaging events, identifying affected systems, and figuring out how quickly they can patch. The clock is ticking and they know it. At the same moment, threat actors are doing their own version of that work. They’re reading the same advisories, watching the same feeds, and asking a much simpler question: Who is still vulnerable?

No man is an island, entire of itself; Every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.– John Donne Let’s face it, we have a gap in our cyber posture. Thirty percent of breaches originate from third parties, yet as organizations become increasingly exposed to supply chain attacks, they often lack the visibility, context, and workflows to detect and respond to them. Why?

Something fundamentally shifted in cybersecurity. Claude Mythos, Anthropic’s frontier AI model, signaled the arrival of what the Cloud Security Alliance called an “AI vulnerability storm,” a world where vulnerabilities are discovered and exploited at machine speed. This is a compression event, collapsing timelines, expanding attack surfaces, and forcing a rewrite of how organizations think about security operations, software development, risk, and ultimately, business survival.

Residential proxy services, also called RESIP, present a persistent operational hurdle for tracking and attributing malicious network activity, as they allow threat actors to mask their true origins behind seemingly benign, geographically diverse IP addresses. While often marketed for legitimate use cases, these networks are aggressively leveraged for fraud, credential abuse, and perimeter evasion.

I’ve spent a lot of time recently thinking about what "innovation" actually means in an industry that moves as fast as cybersecurity. It’s a term that gets thrown around a lot, but as a product leader at Bitsight, I see it as something much deeper than just shipping new features. It's about a fundamental shift in how we help organizations stay resilient.

A recent open letter from the UK government on AI-driven cyber threats highlights a clear shift in the threat landscape. Cyberattacks are no longer constrained in the same way by human expertise, as advanced AI models can now help identify vulnerabilities, generate exploit code, and increase the speed and scale of attacks.

A critical vulnerability CVE-2026-41940 has been identified in cPanel, WHM, and WP Squared, affecting cPanel & WHM versions after 11.40, as well as WP Squared. These web hosting control panels are commonly used to manage websites, email, databases, and server configurations, making unauthorized access a serious security concern.

Picture the first meeting after a serious security event. The Security Operations team is talking about alerts, detections, and lateral movement. Threat Intelligence is talking about adversary tradecraft and known campaigns. Governance and Risk is talking about control gaps, exposure, and business risk. And leadership? They only care about how bad this event is, and what the team is doing about it. Security teams often agree on the mission: deter and stop threat actors at all costs.

The rise of AI-driven vulnerability discovery using Anthropic's Claude Mythos, as well as similar tools from Google and OpenAI, is completely changing the calculus of cyber risk. The number of vulnerabilities is exploding. The time it takes for exploits to appear is shrinking. The patching cadences and scan intervals, assessments and risk registers that many organizations still rely on are rapidly becoming ineffective.

A few weeks ago we published the first part of this series where we described the infrastructure used by the RondoDox threat actors to scan and exploit vulnerable systems. In this second post we’ll take a deep dive into the malware that is deployed into vulnerable systems. Specifically, we’ll look at the initial implant used to fetch the RondoDox binary and the binary itself, detailing its behaviour, how it communicates with the Command and Control (C2), and its malicious capabilities.

As organizations shift to cloud services and third-party vendors, maintaining visibility and control over cyber risk has become increasingly complex. In this video, we explore one of the biggest challenges facing security leaders today: how to manage cyber risk without full visibility into your environment. Learn why visibility is critical to effective cybersecurity—and how the right data enables organizations to.

The cyber risk landscape is evolving faster than ever—creating new challenges for organizations trying to maintain visibility and control. In this video, we explore why data is the foundation of effective cyber risk management. As risk becomes more dynamic and complex, organizations must be able to: Respond to threats as they emerge—not after the fact Without high-quality, actionable data, managing cyber risk simply isn’t possible.

Vendor relationships don’t stay static—and neither does the risk they introduce. In this video, we break down a common misconception in third-party risk management: that vendor risk remains constant after onboarding. The reality? As vendors grow and their digital footprint expands, risk increases over time. Learn why organizations must move beyond point-in-time assessments and adopt a more modern approach to vendor risk management.

When it comes to cybersecurity, there’s no such thing as being too prepared. In this clip, Ryan Swimm, Senior Manager, GRC Program from Bitsight explains why "softball" security drills just don't cut it. To truly protect your organization, you need to practice for the worst-case scenario—your own "Armageddon" drill. Inside the Drill: Don't wait for a real crisis to find the gaps in your strategy. Practice for doomsday today!

For many risk and compliance leaders, the reality of Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) is a mountain of disorganized spreadsheets, overflowing inboxes, and endless PDFs. When an audit is seven days away or the Board asks for a risk posture update, documentation overload becomes a liability. In this video, we explore the transition from vendor chaos to risk clarity. The Challenge.

When a critical vulnerability is exploited, the first 72 hours of a cyber incident can determine the outcome. In this scenario-driven webinar, Bitsight experts break down how security, GRC, and threat intelligence teams must work together—fast—to detect risk, prioritize action, and communicate clearly under pressure.

Your organization’s attack surface doesn’t stop at the network—and in financial services, that reality can’t be ignored. In this clip, Dov Lerner explains why even companies with strong internal security programs remain vulnerable when attackers target customers through phishing and account takeover schemes.

The deep and dark web isn’t chaos—it’s a fully functioning marketplace. In this clip from Exposed: Cyber Risk in the Financial Sector and its Supply Chain, Dov Lerner explains how aspiring attackers can purchase phishing kits, stolen bank credentials, initial network access, and even cash-out services—often without technical expertise.

Cybersecurity ROI isn't about cost savings. It's about how your cybersecurity program helps you achieve your goals while managing risk to a level that your executive team is comfortable with. So if you shouldn't measure success in cost savings, how do you measure it? BitSight is providing five steps that help CISOs and executive teams evaluate their company's cybersecurity performance.

Are you overwhelmed by the intricacies of your attack surface? Concerned about the rising risk of vulnerabilities in your and your partners' digital ecosystems? New BitSight research finds that the average vulnerability remediation rate across organizations is about 5 percent per month, sparking concern that the status quo of exposure and vulnerability management is broken. Moreover, organizations face significant challenges in managing vulnerabilities in their extended, third-party ecosystem, and most security leaders do not have the tools to address these emerging threats.

Traditional vendor risk management programs are not effective at mitigating risk in ever-expanding third-party networks, and yet 69% of businesses still rely on manual processes. It's time to take your program to the next level. How can you centralize, automate, and streamline your process to manage hundreds of vendors as effectively as you manage ten? Scalable VRM continuously detects, monitors, and mitigates risk, going beyond due diligence and initial assessments to constantly reassess and proactively act on vendor risk.
