Overprivileged Kubernetes ServiceAccounts persist when broad RBAC, cloud IAM permissions, and long-lived credentials outlive their intended use. Reduce overprivileged access with least privileged RBAC, scoped cloud permissions, and short-lived certificates that eliminate static credentials. I spent two days last quarter tracking down why a developer could delete production secrets. The RBAC looked fine. The ClusterRoleBinding said edit, not cluster-admin.

On October 11, 2026, the DNS root is scheduled to change its key-signing key (KSK) for only the second time ever. This key anchors DNSSEC’s chain of trust, which lets DNS resolvers authenticate answers using cryptographic signatures. The change is called a KSK rollover. Validating resolvers need to trust the new key before the switch, as otherwise healthy websites could become unreachable.

A quantification exercise reports a one-in-hundred-year loss and the figure travels well. It sounds precise, it sounds severe, and everybody in the room believes they understand it. ‍ Most of them do not. The phrasing describes an annual probability and it reads as a statement about timing, and the two produce different decisions from the same number. ‍

A correlation rule can be tuned. The window can be widened, the join key improved, a source promoted from optional to required. Each of those is a parameter with a defensible setting. ‍ What remains after all of it is the residual, meaning the events that would produce a finding if a source existed for them, which is a form of residual risk expressed in detection terms. Naming it is the question an auditor asks after being shown a detection, and the answer is not a tuning exercise. ‍

The usual case for governance return is that it speeds up enterprise sales, because buyers ask security questions and a prepared answer closes faster. It is true and it is the weaker argument. ‍ The stronger one is loss avoidance, and almost nobody makes it, because it needs a loss figure that most governance programs do not have. What makes it affordable is a distinction between two kinds of evidence. ‍

Researchers at Netskope are tracking a phishing kit that hijacks users’ browser windows to display fake security alerts. The malicious websites are distributed via Google Ads, and pose as normal online stores. Once a user clicks a link on the page, however, the site will present them with an urgent-looking security warning.

As millions of shoppers prepare their wishlists and await discounts for Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days starting October 6, cybercriminals are gearing up for their own payday. In the weeks leading up to major shopping events, Amazon impersonation campaigns reach an annual peak.

At any given moment, there’s an employee somewhere in the world tuning out of a phishing training module that was translated from another language. Every word is rendered correctly, yet the learner still stops paying attention. In these situations, the translation often gets the blame for not engaging the learner, but the real culprit is design.

Identity and access have changed drastically in the past decade. To meet the needs of the modern enterprise perimeter, Enterprise Password Managers (EPM) have evolved far beyond traditional workplace password storage.
