Steam was the most impersonated brand in phishing attacks during the first quarter of 2025, according to a new report from Guardio. The researchers note that the gaming platform’s surge to the top comes as “a bit of a shock.” “Historically, the spot has been dominated by the usual suspects - big tech companies like Meta, Microsoft, or even USPS,” Guardio says. “But this quarter, it’s Steam, and by a significant margin.

Security vendors love dashboards with polished interfaces, graphs, alerts, and AI-powered insights. But as a CTO, you don’t need another dashboard; you need security that works when it matters. When an attack slips through, the UI won’t save you—only real-time detection, automated defenses, and a team that responds before you even call will. The best IOT security companies don’t just sell tools; they embed security into the fabric of your infrastructure.

Lately, the common theme in emerging identity security technology is AI. It’s all anyone wants to talk about. All of us in the IAM business have been scurrying to find a way to tell our customers and the market that, yes! We have AI! We've had it all along! If that were so obviously true, why isn’t it more broadly known? As an identity security technologist, I’ve experienced the growing pains of AI in IAM. I recently read an interesting essay by a science fiction author.

A new activist group is targeting insurance companies. Boycott Bloody Insurance (BBI) aims to raise awareness of the insurance industry’s role in perceived global injustices. Escalatory tactics that disrupt insurers’ day-to-day operations are possible. This may include physical threats against premises and individuals and/or logical threats, such negative social media or cyberattacks.

Security is essential to cloud-based development, but integrating it into dynamic, distributed environments is difficult. Factors like complex architectures and operational constraints often create roadblocks, which makes it harder to enforce security policies and mitigate threats. These challenges are especially apparent within security organizations, where siloes limit their ability to keep pace with the larger organization as it scales.

We’re excited to share that CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security now offers enhanced tools to help secure artificial intelligence (AI) development, simplify AI security posture management, and quickly respond to AI threats. These updates have been developed in collaboration with NVIDIA since August 2024.

Responsible disclosure is an often overlooked but critical component of cybersecurity alerting processes. Explore key best practices that can enhance communication and collaboration with researchers, turning potential security threats into opportunities for stronger defense.

Protecting the IT infrastructure from any kind of cyberattack is one of the topmost priorities of companies. Achieving cyber resilience is like building a strong immune system for your cyber environment, but not just about preventing attacks. It also makes an organization be prepared to: Let’s learn more about cyber resilience and how companies can achieve it with an XDR tool.
