How to Secure Cloud Communication Systems Against Modern Cyber Threats

How to Secure Cloud Communication Systems Against Modern Cyber Threats

Jul 21, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
As businesses increasingly rely on cloud-based communication systems like Voice over IP (VoIP) for daily operations, securing these platforms has become a top concern. The convenience and flexibility of cloud communications come with unique vulnerabilities that cybercriminals are eager to exploit. Protecting these vital channels isn't just an IT issue; it's fundamental to business continuity and data protection.

Routing Context: The Missing Piece In Network Incident Response

Routing Context: The Missing Piece In Network Incident Response

Jul 21, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
Ask anyone who has run an incident bridge during a routing event, and they will describe the same scramble. Traffic is going somewhere it should not, alerts are firing, and the team is trying to answer a deceptively simple question: is this announcement legitimate, and if not, whose is it? The tools to answer exist, but they are scattered, and the minutes spent stitching them together are minutes traffic keeps flowing the wrong way.

What the Black Hat NOC taught me about MCP & agentic SOCs (Chapter 3 of 4)

Jul 20, 2026 By James Pope In Corelight
The first time an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server felt real to me, it wasn't because of a clean demo. It was because of the noise. TL;DR: The harness matters more than the protocol, and the evidence matters more than both. MCP earns its keep when it shortens the path from a good security question to trustworthy evidence, and almost everything interesting about making that work happens in the harness wrapped around the model. In this series, I will cover how to build an MCP for an AI SOC.

Where Security Breaks First in the AI Era

Jul 20, 2026 By Forescout Technologies In Forescout
Most security programs were built for a slower clock. But as AI-assisted and autonomous attackers accelerate the pace of attacks, manual approval gates can become the point where defenders fall behind. This short video explores why security teams need to reexamine the processes, decision points, and response workflows that may slow them down when speed matters most.

The First Hour of a Zero-Day: Why Preparation Must Start Before Disclosure

Jul 20, 2026 By Forescout Technologies In Forescout
The window between vulnerability disclosure and exploitation is shrinking. As exploit development accelerates, organizations can no longer afford to wait for a vulnerability to be disclosed or a patch to become available before taking action. Daniel dos Santos, VP of Research, explains why effective zero-day response depends on preparation that happens before an incident occurs.

Why Residential IP Addresses Are Becoming Popular for Remote Desktop Services

Why Residential IP Addresses Are Becoming Popular for Remote Desktop Services

Jul 20, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
Why does a perfectly working remote desktop still trigger security checks or display the wrong regional content? In many cases, the issue isn't the desktop itself; it's the IP address behind the connection. As businesses, developers, marketers and remote teams increasingly rely on location-sensitive online services, residential IP addresses are becoming popular for remote desktop services because they offer a connection profile that better matches real-world internet usage.
