LinkedIn to CRM Extensions: A Security Checklist (2026)

Browser extensions that copy LinkedIn profiles and conversations into a CRM are now standard in most sales teams. They are useful, and they are also a data security decision that usually never reaches the security team. Each one runs inside the rep's authenticated browser session, reads personal data from LinkedIn, and moves it into a second system under the rep's own credentials. This article sets out the questions a security or IT function should ask before allowing one, and how the common tools answer them.

Beyond the Login Screen: Why Qualified Electronic Signatures Belong in Identity Security

For years, identity security was mostly discussed as an access problem. Can the right person log in? Is multi-factor authentication enabled? Are privileged accounts protected? Can stolen credentials be used from an unknown device? Those questions still matter. But they describe only the beginning of a digital transaction.

What is a backdoor attack?

A backdoor attack is hard to detect. Since they bypass standard security measures, backdoor attacks can enter your system and go unnoticed for a long time. While some cyberattacks tend to be smash-and-grab, backdoor attacks are stealthier. They allow hackers to enter secretly, gather more secure data than typical attacks, and can cause significant damage. Because they can be so difficult to detect and cause so much damage, you need to know the signs of a backdoor attack and learn how to mitigate it.

Breach fatigue: Why your team has switched off and how to fix it

Cybersecurity continues to face continued challenges in the Australian environment. The Australian Signals Directorate’s (ASD's) Annual Cyber Threat Report 2024–25 revealed that there were more than 84,700 cybercrime incidents and over 42,500 calls to the Australian Cyber Security Hotline, representing a 16% increase in comparison to the previous reporting period. More threats. More notifications. More training events. Yet, surprisingly, employee vigilance is continually decreasing.

Your AD is a stomping ground for lateral movement

Active Directory (AD) is the backbone many enterprises lean on for their IT environments. Yet, most organizations rarely govern the directory with the scrutiny necessary. This was the throughline of a recent webinar with Nitish Deshpande, senior analyst at KuppingerCole, and Robert Kraczek, global strategist at One Identity. The pair made a strong case for mediating admin access to AD, emphasizing just how easily compromised credentials can beget full-blown incidents.

SSH Session Monitoring: How to Monitor, Record & Audit SSH Sessions

Secure Shell (SSH) gives you direct access to critical servers, databases, and cloud infrastructure. Once a privileged user connects through SSH, they hold extensive control over that system. They can alter core configurations, run terminal scripts, move files, or delete production databases in seconds. If you lack visibility into privileged actions, it can be risky. If a credential gets stolen or an insider goes rogue, traditional firewalls won’t be enough.

Scaling DevSecOps: The Role of a Comprehensive Application Security Platform

Exploitation of software vulnerabilities is now the number one cause of breaches, according to the 2026 Verizon DBIR Report. At the same time, release velocity keeps climbing and AI coding tools are now authoring roughly half of all committed code in organizations that use them. For application security and engineering teams, the math is unforgiving: more code, faster delivery, and a growing attack surface.

8 Key DLP Use Cases Every Enterprise Should Know

Most enterprise data loss prevention (DLP) programs get judged on a single metric: how many exfiltration attempts did it block last quarter. That framing undersells what a modern DLP program needs to do. Sensitive data now leaves through AI prompts, personal cloud accounts, and agent-initiated file transfers that a legacy blocking rule alone was never built to catch, while auditors and boards expect evidence that the program is working, not just alerts confirming it.

When a Cyber Loss Becomes a Recall

Cyber loss models are built around information leaving an organization. Records exposed, notification costs, regulatory penalty, litigation from affected individuals. Every category assumes the harm is informational. ‍ A compromise affecting vehicles in the field produces something the model has no term for. The vehicle can behave differently, the manufacturer may have to recall it, and the recall cost is frequently larger than anything the cyber categories would have produced. ‍
