10 Hidden Cybersecurity Misconfigurations

In 2025, organizations spent billions on security, deploying EDR/XDR, SASE, firewalls, identity platforms, email security, web security, and more. And yet, breaches persist. The reason often is not a zero-day, an advanced persistent threat, or a cutting-edge exploit. It is far more mundane. Misconfigurations across identity, endpoint, network, and email/web security controls remain among the top root causes of incidents.

What is Configuration Drift? 5 Best Practices for Your Team's Security Posture

Security configurations are not static. They evolve over time due to software updates, policy changes, emergency patches, and human intervention. While these changes are often necessary, they can lead to configuration drift, a gradual misalignment between an organization’s security controls and its intended security policies.

A Comprehensive Guide to Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)

Continuous Threat Exposure Management is a continuous security framework for identifying, assessing, validating, and reducing the exposures that matter most to an organization. Rather than treating every exposure, alert, or control issue as equally urgent, CTEM helps organizations focus on the exposures that are actually reachable, relevant to likely attack paths, and meaningful in a business context.

Reach Recognized in Gartner Emerging Tech Report on Domain-Specific Language Models for SecOps

In its January 2026 report, Emerging Tech: Tech Innovators in Domain-Specific Language Models for SecOps, Gartner examines how domain-specific language models (DSLMs) are reshaping security operations. The report explains that DSLMs are designed to address the limitations of general-purpose language models by focusing on a particular task or use case – in this case, cybersecurity.

The Silent Vulnerability: Why Non-Human Identities Are Now Prime for Exploitation

The explosive growth of nonhuman identities (NHIs) has quietly become one of the most pressing cybersecurity challenges of the modern enterprise. Machine identities, API keys, service accounts, OAuth tokens, digital certificates, and other automated credentials now outnumber human identities by ever-growing ratios, sometimes by as much as 50 to one. However, despite their ubiquity and critical operational role, NHIs rarely receive the same level of governance or scrutiny as human-centered identities. Visibility is fragmented, controls are inconsistent, and access is often far broader than it needs to be.

Configuration Rot: Why Security Tools Quietly Stop Working

Security tools don’t usually break. They just slowly stop doing what you think they’re doing. Or perhaps were never set up to do what you needed in the first place. Something got deployed. It worked. Then it drifted. No one noticed. And three years later, you’re questioning the renewal because you’re not even sure what it’s protecting anymore. That’s configuration rot.
