Cloud computing is now central to company operations, but it can also be an opportunity for hackers. As of late last year, 80% of organizations experienced more frequent cloud attacks. Strengthening security is essential. Clear, actionable cloud security tips help protect digital assets with minimal complexity. As companies migrate more services and data to cloud environments, risks grow and become harder to detect.

Today marks a strategic leap forward in LevelBlue’s mission to become the most complete cybersecurity partner on the market. I’m excited to announce that LevelBlue has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Cybereason, a global leader in Extended Detection and Response (XDR), digital forensics and incident response (DFIR), and elite threat intelligence. Together we’ll deliver unified, proactive, and outcome-driven security solutions around the globe.

Organizations continue their digital transformation, with APIs now serving as the main communication links between applications, platforms, services, and partners. The widespread use of APIs introduces new security risks despite their common presence. The growing number of APIs significantly increases the cyber risks that security teams must address as they keep up with technological advances.

Picture your online shopping site overwhelmed with fake orders, your customer accounts being drained one after another, or your essential APIs flooded by an endless wave of automated attacks. This is the reality businesses face today—thanks to a fully automated army of cyber criminals determined to cause harm. In this digital bot invasion, businesses of all kinds are under urgent pressure to establish defenses that effectively fight this digital threat.

Manufacturing executives recently surveyed by LevelBlue expressed a deep concern that emerging attack methods, such as deepfakes and AI-powered attacks, will be almost as likely as more traditional attacks like ransomware. We derived the information from a research-based survey conducted in January 2025, which included 220 C-suite and senior manufacturing executives.

The threat groups Qilin and Akira together conducted about one-quarter of the 402 ransomware attacks tracked by Trustwave SpiderLabs in September, with the manufacturing and technology sectors receiving the brunt of these efforts. This information was derived from a new SpiderLabs ransomware tracking tool that gathers information from a variety of open intelligence sources and our own proprietary research.

Companies face more sophisticated, unpredictable cyber threats. Zero Day vulnerabilities are among the greatest risks, as these software flaws are unknown and exploited before a fix is available, potentially compromising thousands of organizations. Stopping zero-day attacks is a top priority for security teams, requiring faster identification, detection, and mitigation to prevent damage. But how do these attacks work, and what practices really help?

Organizations today face a continuous struggle to secure their web applications against threats that constantly evolve in the fast-paced digital landscape. The Web Application Firewall (WAF) serves as a primary line of defense against these threats; however, its management challenges often outweigh its security benefits, resulting in organizations not realizing the full value of their security investment.

Public sector organizations face unprecedented cybersecurity challenges as artificial intelligence reshapes how adversaries launch attacks. Threat actors now use AI to execute large-scale, highly personalized phishing campaigns, automate the discovery of vulnerabilities, and evade detection faster than traditional defenses can respond.
