Cato CTRL Threat Research: WormGPT Variants Powered by Grok and Mixtral

When large language models (LLMs) became popular following OpenAI’s public release of ChatGPT in November 2022, threat actors understood the potential of such systems and how they can be used in their malicious operations. However, the main challenge that threat actors encountered a couple of years ago is that the LLMs were censored and didn’t allow the creation of malicious content. Enter WormGPT.

Are WAFs Obsolete? Pros, Cons, and What the Future Holds

Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) have long served as the front line of defense for web applications, filtering out malicious traffic and enforcing security policies. But as threats grow more sophisticated and application environments become more dynamic, many are questioning whether traditional WAFs are still up to the task. In 2025, with the rise of cloud-native applications, APIs, and machine learning-driven attacks, it's no longer enough to rely on static, rule-based filtering.

Securing Remote Connections When Working from Multiple Devices

As remote work becomes routine, employees access systems from home, public WiFi, or shared spaces, making secure connections across multiple devices essential. This growing flexibility expands the attack surface, giving hackers more opportunities to exploit weak points. To stay protected, organisations need layered security measures, including strong authentication, encryption, and strict access controls. With remote access here to stay, understanding these essentials is critical for both IT teams and users.

When the Cloud Goes Dark: Why Owning Your Infrastructure Matters for Critical Services

On June 12, 2025, a global outage at Google Cloud Platform (GCP) brought critical infrastructure to a halt. The ripple effects were immediate. Services from Palo Alto Networks and Cloudflare—both of which rely on GCP—experienced outages that lasted hours. Enterprises depending on these services were left blind and exposed. This wasn’t a first. It won’t be the last. But it was a wake-up call. When SASE, SSE, or SD-WAN platforms go down, the business is down. Productivity stalls.

SSL Inspection in NDR: Unlocking Threats Hidden in Encrypted Traffic

Did you know that more than 90% of web traffic is now encrypted?1 Encryption makes online security better but creates a major blind spot for security teams. Cybersecurity analysts believe that over 90% of malware can hide in these encrypted channels and bypass traditional security measures. Almost every website today uses HTTPS to encrypt data between a user’s browser and the site. This encryption protects legitimate traffic but also hides potential threats.

Beyond VPNs: Secure Remote Access for OT & IIoT

Everybody loves a good throwback. Flip phones, vinyl records, and maybe even the dial-up tone for nostalgia’s sake. But if your operational technology (OT) and industrial internet of things (IIoT) environment is still relying on traditional VPNs to connect users, vendors, and machines, that’s one throwback you really don’t want. OT systems have evolved. They’re smarter, more connected, and unfortunately more vulnerable than ever.
