The physical conflict involving Iran that has played out in the Middle East over the last several days is expected to increasingly spill over into the cyber realm. According to the Department of Homeland Security, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and other cybersecurity experts, organizations in the US should begin preparing for increased cyber attacks from pro-Irianian hacktivists and Iranian government-affiliated actors in the coming days and weeks.

In today’s high-stakes cybersecurity landscape, one truth stands out: if you can’t see it, you can’t secure it. And if you can’t act on what you see, you’re no better off. That’s why we’re focused on delivering continuous improvements that help security teams move faster, see further, and reduce risk where it matters most.

Shipping software into the EU now comes with serious strings attached. The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), in effect since December 2024, sets strict new rules for any company offering digital products or services in the region, whether you’re a local startup or a global platform.

As Netskope approaches the 300 patent milestone, I sat down for a quick chat with our CISO James Robinson to hear about the most recent patent granted to his team, find out why he sees patents as being so important, and discover what they tell us about the way his team—the team in charge of cybersecurity at a cybersecurity company—innovates.

Social engineering remains a primary initial access vector for cybercriminals, according to a new report from Europol. “Social engineering, which exploits human error to gain access to systems or personal information, stands out as a prominent technique used by criminal actors in this context,” Europol says.
