Three LevelBlue security experts put their investigative skills to the test in the SentinelOne Threat Hunting competition, with Jodie McDonald earning the top spot in EMEA and advancing to the Grand Final at OneCon. Threat hunting requires more than knowing your way around a security platform. It takes curiosity, analytical thinking, and the discipline to follow the evidence, even when it leads somewhere unexpected.

Security teams face a demanding balancing act: keeping pace with evolving threats, managing complex environments, and demonstrating how their investments reduce risk. At LevelBlue, helping organizations meet those challenges is central to our work. That commitment is reflected in Frost & Sullivan’s recognition of LevelBlue as its 2026 Global Company of the Year in Managed Security Services.

This year, the United States of America celebrated their 250th birthday, but Cybersecurity Awareness Month is already looking toward the future with the goal of securing the next 250 years together. It’s an ambitious theme that leads us all to wonder, “what does it actually take to build security that lasts?” The Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) 2026 Cybersecurity Awareness Month guidance begins with four familiar practices.

Cybersecurity programs have become increasingly specialized and become a rather expansive enterprise responsibility. Protecting a modern organization can involve identity, endpoints, networks, applications and APIs, cloud infrastructure, data, threat intelligence, detection and response, governance, risk and compliance (GRC), incident response, and cyber resilience. Each discipline brings specialized technologies, processes, and expertise to the security program.

Cybersecurity research, threat intel, and novel findings produce no shortage of information. Every day brings new vulnerabilities, malware campaigns, proof-of-concept exploits, threat reports, headlines, and predictions about what comes next. But what has proven difficult is sorting through the noise to determine what's worth following. That's a big part of my role as Manager of the SpiderLabs Communications team at LevelBlue.

Managed Detection and Response has long helped organizations extend their security operations capabilities, but buyer expectations are changing. Detecting suspicious activity and notifying internal teams is no longer enough. Organizations increasingly expect MDR providers to help investigate incidents, contain threats, identify exposures, and deliver measurable improvements to their security posture.

Australia is my home now. Safeguarding it is no longer a job. It is a mission. I am on a flight heading north from Melbourne to Sydney as I write this. The significance of that journey is not lost on me. In a few hours, I will stand in front of the Security Operations Centre that our team has built. It represents something far larger than infrastructure or technology. It represents a choice. LevelBlue's choice. Our choice. Australia's choice. For years, Australian organizations faced a narrow choice.
Organizations spend considerable time preparing for the technical realities of a cyber incident. Detection capabilities, containment procedures, recovery plans and governance structures are all essential. Yet many of the factors that shape the success of a response have little to do with technology. The most effective incident response programs recognize that cyber resilience is shaped as much by people as technology.

When organizations experience a cyberattack, executives often focus on recovery timelines, business impact, and regulatory obligations. Yet the outcome of those conversations is often determined long before recovery begins.

Digital risk has expanded far beyond the traditional security perimeter. Brands now operate across social platforms, advertising ecosystems, messaging applications, collaboration tools, marketplaces, and dozens of other digital channels. Each represents an opportunity to connect with customers. Each also creates opportunities for abuse. A fraudulent advertisement can direct users to a spoofed login page. A fake social media account can support an executive impersonation campaign.

Many companies have an incident response retainer...but it doesn't actually make them risk ready. That's because too many retainers are built on outdated, hour-based "use it or lose it" models that don't actually reduce risk, improve resilience, or focus on outcomes. A modern retainer should drive preparedness, align with today's insurance realities, and actively lower exposure before an incident happens.

Some of the biggest delays in incident response aren’t caused by the attacker… they’re caused by the first steps taken after discovery. A few examples of well-intentioned actions that can unintentionally slow investigations and extend recovery timelines: Resilience isn’t built during an incident. It’s built before one ever happens.

Originally recorded in 2025, we look back at how cybercriminals perfected deception during the first half of the year. Now available as an archive recording, the session highlights the second edition of the LevelBlue Threat Trends Report and explores real-world incident data, fast-moving attack chains, and the social engineering techniques that shaped the threat landscape at the time. While the data reflects early 2025, many of the lessons remain relevant for understanding how today’s threat environment evolved.
