Industrial IoT (IIoT) networks are under siege—from ransomware attacks that halt production lines to nation-state actors targeting critical infrastructure. Yet, traditional security measures struggle to keep up with these stealthy and persistent threats. This lack of visibility and proactive detection leaves security teams blind to lateral movement and insider threats lurking within OT environments.

Software development moves fast; updates are deployed daily, and new features seem to roll out constantly. For security professionals and developers, this pace brings both opportunities and risks. Building an application security program from scratch can be daunting. Expanding attack surfaces, unclear roles and responsibilities, and an endless stream of vulnerabilities from disparate tools create a complex and challenging landscape to navigate.

The biggest cybersecurity bottleneck for today’s enterprises isn’t detection. It’s remediation. Organizations are flooded with vulnerability data, but that flood rarely translates into effective action. Instead, security teams spend their time wrangling data, chasing tickets, and firefighting the same risks week after week. The outcome? Wasted effort, missed SLAs, and real business risk.

XML external entity injection or XXE, is a type of web security vulnerability and an application-layer cybersecurity attack. This vulnerability allows the hacker to interfere with an application while it is processing XML data. The attacker can inject unsafe XML entities into the application and can interact with systems to which the application has access. The hackers can also view files on the server and even perform remote code execution (RCE).

A decade ago, the primary focus of TPRM was questionnaire management and distribution, usually done in a simple and manual way, relying on vendors to self-report on their security practices. Today the basic best practices of TPRM have grown to include continuous monitoring and other advanced AI-based capabilities like CVE alerting for third parties as elementary aspects of an effective program.

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! Another shop falls to the hackers but this time just the usual password stuffing. People, sort your passwords out.

In a previous blog, we discussed how AI is reshaping software development at every level. This shift means developers need new skills to stay effective. In fact, Gartner predicts that generative AI will require 80% of the engineering workforce to upskill through 2027. So what can today’s developers do to stay ahead? Here are a few steps to consider.

Cybercriminals never rest. Using increasingly sophisticated methods, they continuously turn companies and individuals into victims of their cyberattacks. But what if they were the ones who fell into a trap? Let’s explore the idea of a honeypot, a technique designed to lure hackers and give them a taste of their medicine.
