In April 2025, a logistics firm suffered a breach that followed a pattern security teams are seeing with increasing frequency—one that began with a single forgotten API. It wasn’t a zero-day exploit, or a sophisticated nation-state intrusion. It was an exposed development endpoint—one that had quietly been left online long after its purpose was served.

Today, most security reporting is trapped in a defensive cycle: detect a threat, react to it, report how serious it was. Rinse and repeat. The problem? Executive fatigue. Boards and leadership teams are tired of hearing about noise. They don’t want another dashboard of inbound attacks. They want to understand how cybersecurity protects revenue, sustains operations, and strengthens governance. It’s time to stop reporting on threats—and start reporting on business continuity.

When we analyzed Ireland's critical national infrastructure (CNI) through an intelligence lens, the findings were sobering. Of 222 CNI organizations examined, 98—nearly 44%—have exposed known vulnerabilities. We then analyzed whether these open doors were being actively exploited by threat actors. Ireland is home to 15,776 attack origins, and 85% of them are the very same IPs and networks in CNI organizations with those exposed known vulnerabilities.

You’ll notice things look different. Because the world you’re defending has changed—and so have the stakes. Every breach proves the same thing: the tools you’ve been given aren’t enough. Firewalls let attacks through. “Next-gen detection” leaves you drowning in alerts after the fact. Threat intelligence is treated like a forensic tool, not a preventative defense.

Modern cyber threats are increasingly stealthy. A favorite tactic? DNS tunneling—a method used to bypass traditional network security controls by hiding malicious traffic inside DNS queries and responses. This can be done by embedding or encoding command and control instructions or data within subdomains or DNS record fields like TXT, CNAME or other rarely used record types.

Cybercriminals don’t need to be sophisticated. They just need the opportunity—and in Ireland, there’s still too much low-hanging fruit. Many of the vulnerabilities being exploited across Irish networks today aren’t new. They’re years old. Attackers are taking advantage of outdated systems that haven’t been patched, relying on free, off-the-shelf tools to scan for weaknesses—and finding them far too easily. This isn’t a theoretical risk.

If you’ve done everything you can think of to stay protected — patched systems, trained employees, upgraded tools — but the number of threats still keep increasing, you’re not alone. You’re not behind. You’re not unprepared. But you may be operating on outdated assumptions. For small and midsize businesses, the real danger isn’t just what attackers are doing—it’s the cybersecurity myths you’ve been told to believe. The ones that seem logical.

On June 25, 2025, Cisco disclosed two critical vulnerabilities affecting Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and ISE Passive Identity Connector (ISE-PIC). Tracked as CVE-2025-20281 and CVE-2025-20282, these flaws enable unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as the root user via exposed HTTPS APIs. CVE-2025-20281 arises from insufficient validation of user-supplied input in a public API, allowing crafted requests to trigger remote code execution.

The cybersecurity landscape has undergone dramatic transformation since the early days of the Internet. What began as a revolutionary communication platform has evolved into a complex battleground where defenders struggle to keep pace with increasingly sophisticated threats. Understanding this evolution is crucial for organizations seeking to regain the defender’s advantage in an era of exponential digital growth.

Patents are imperative to innovation as they recognize the success of inventions. But the weakening of their rights leaves companies spending more on legal, instead of research, marketing, sales and market expansion. And ultimately, impeding progress. How can patent law evolve to better help invent the future? #InnovationFriday.

Across all industries, the incentive for legacy companies to challenge patents, has increased. Why? Because it's proven to be a valuable tactic in slowing or stopping competitors - ultimately impeding innovation as these disruptive companies are forced to spend significant money defending themselves. The impact? According to @Harvard Business Review so-called patent trolls cost defendants an average of $29B per year.

Most small businesses handle cybersecurity by crossing their fingers. They don't think they need it until they get hacked. But it doesn't matter if you're a one man shop or a big enterprise company. And while Walt & Company is a small organization, their clients are multibillion dollar global companies operating around the world. Their businesses are critically important and thus the security of their digital assets are critically important to them. So how can a company stay ahead of the curve when it comes to cybersecurity?

Chuck Veth, CEO of CVM, and his team, advise leaders in manufacturing, finance, education, pharmaceuticals, food service, and more on solutions to protect their networks. Their customers trust that they have their best interest at heart and that when they advise them, it's advising them as mentors and not just as salespeople. In today's world, your network is vulnerable to people all around the globe. And they're patient, slowly finding more and more information, so when they actually perform the attack, it's debilitating. It's not just a bunch of encrypted files.
