Conditional Access is one of the most important security controls in Microsoft Entra ID. It helps organizations decide when access should be allowed, blocked, or challenged based on signals such as user identity, device status, location, application, and risk. For many organizations, Conditional Access is the best path forward for enforcing multifactor authentication because it provides more control than Security Defaults or Per-User MFA.

For years, cybersecurity strategy has been built around a simple idea: keep attackers out. Stronger perimeters. Better firewalls. More advanced endpoint protection. Smarter email filtering. But the latest insights from the Microsoft Digital Defense Report tell a very different story. Attackers aren’t breaking in. They’re logging in.

Attack Surface Management (ASM) is the continuous process of identifying, analyzing, and reducing security exposures across an organization’s environment. It provides visibility into assets, highlights security gaps, and helps prioritize remediation based on real risk.

Red Team Penetration Testing is a simulated cyberattack that mimics real-world threat behavior to identify vulnerabilities, test defenses, and evaluate how effectively an organization can detect and respond to an attack. It goes beyond traditional testing by focusing on how an attacker would actually move through an environment.

Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is a cybersecurity service that provides continuous monitoring, threat detection, investigation, and response across an organization’s environment. It combines advanced detection technology with a 24/7 security operations center (SOC) to identify threats early and take action before they cause damage.

In March 2026, Stryker Corporation experienced a global cyber incident that disrupted operations across its environment. Manufacturing slowed, internal systems went offline, and employees were instructed to disconnect devices. At first glance, it looked like another large-scale cyberattack. It wasn’t. This incident exposed a much more important reality about modern cybersecurity risk: organizations are no longer being breached in traditional ways.

BUFFALO, N.Y., March 24, 2026 — Sedara, a cybersecurity solutions provider specializing in Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and Attack Surface Management (ASM), today announced it has been named a Hot Company in Attack Surface Management in the 14th Annual Global InfoSec Awards, presented by Cyber Defense Magazine during RSAC 2026 Conference in San Francisco. The Global InfoSec Awards recognize cybersecurity innovators worldwide.

A simple guide for understanding how ASM actually supports your security program. We often hear organizations ask.

As organizations move deeper into cloud ecosystems, automation, AI integrations, and global supply chains, one truth becomes increasingly clear: In 2026, third-party risk is not just an IT concern. It is a business continuity concern, a regulatory concern, and in many industries, a board-level concern. From software vendors and cloud providers to managed services, payment processors, contractors, and niche business tools, every external connection introduces potential exposure.
