Security controls change constantly. Firewall rules are modified, endpoint exclusions are added, identity policies are adjusted, and temporary exceptions appear as teams respond to new business and operational requirements. Some of those changes are expected. Some turn out to be harmless. Others quietly weaken the defenses organizations depend on. Detecting that a configuration changed is really important for security teams, but it’s just the beginning of the investigation.

If you're comparing vendors, our guide to the top Exposure Assessment Platforms in 2026 looks at how leading platforms approach discovery, prioritization, and remediation.

HTTPS protects communications between users and the services they access by encrypting data in transit. That makes it much harder for someone to intercept and read that information. But there is a trade-off: encryption can also prevent security controls from seeing what is inside the traffic they are supposed to protect. Your Firebox may know that a user is connecting to a website or service. Without HTTPS inspection, however, it may have limited visibility into what is actually being exchanged.

Quick definitionManaged detection and response (MDR) is a managed security service that provides human-led monitoring, investigation and agreed response actions through a remotely operated security operations center.Extended detection and response (XDR) is a technology platform that correlates security telemetry across multiple domains and provides investigation tools and automated response capabilities for security teams.

HMI security protects the operator-facing system against unauthorized access, credential misuse, malware, lateral movement and tampering while preserving safe visibility and operational continuity. In PC-based deployments, the OEM-managed application and the Windows or Linux workstation beneath it require separate controls. This guide is for OT and automation engineers, SCADA administrators and plant leaders responsible for HMI availability.

When modern development teams and AI agents ship code at unprecedented speeds, the runtime security checkpoint becomes an indispensable line of defense. However, far too many AppSec teams find themselves drowning in a sea of false positives, overburdened by legacy tools that infer potential vulnerabilities rather than proving their real-world exploitability.

On September 4, 2026, Oren Yomtov, a security researcher from Accomplish, responsibly reported a vulnerability affecting Cloudflare Containers and Cloudflare Sandboxes (which is built on Containers), through Cloudflare’s bug bounty program. Cloudflare has fully remediated the vulnerability, and we have no evidence that customer data has been compromised.

Let’s catch up on the more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news gathered from articles across the web this week. This is what we have been reading about on our coffee break! A bit of a falling out it seems.

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.
