External Attack Surface Management Promised Visibility - But Did It Deliver?

External Attack Surface Management (EASM) emerged with a bold promise: to illuminate the dark corners of an organization’s internet-facing infrastructure. It was sold as a panacea for “you don’t know what you don’t know,” offering security leaders the ability to see everything attackers could see. The expectation was straightforward—feed the EASM solution a few IP ranges or domains, and it would map your exposed assets, vulnerabilities, and risks.

Difference Between Fidelis' Deep Session Inspection and Traditional Deep Packet Inspection (DPI)

Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) was once the go-to method for monitoring network traffic, but it now struggles to detect today’s evasive, multi-stage cyberattacks that are spread across multiple channels and hidden deep within payloads. Fragmented visibility, surface-level scanning, and a lack of contextual understanding mean that malicious activity often slips through unnoticed, putting security teams constantly on the back foot.

RSA Conference 2025: Four Days that Re-Energized My Faith That We Are Making Progress

This year the conversations were richer than ever. I was thankful that “Secure by Design” is still gaining traction, and many sessions—whether it was about agentic AI, new software liability proposals, or the talent crisis—had the need for secure software a given.

Navigating the World of Patching: Why Legacy Security Architectures Keep You Exposed

A recent blog from a leading security vendor highlights what most security teams already know: attackers don’t need zero days to win. They exploit known vulnerabilities— “N-days”—because they know how hard it is for organizations to keep up with patching. The irony? That same vendor, like many others, ships and supports a vast portfolio of products—each with its own CVEs, patches, and advisories.

Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)

Continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) is a structured framework for continuously assessing, prioritizing, validating, and remediating vulnerabilities across an organization’s attack surface, enabling you to respond effectively to the most pressing threats over an ever-expanding attack surface. Reactive security is a temporary fix, not a sustainable solution.
