When an EDR tool generates too much endpoint telemetry, security teams quickly run into problems. Mountains of process events, network connections, and file operations can overwhelm analysts, making it harder to spot real threats in the noise. High data volumes drive up storage costs, slow down searches, and contribute to alert fatigue — leading to longer investigation times and potential blind spots.

Digital transformation has expanded IT environments beyond traditional boundaries. Data now exists on-premises, across multiple clouds, on endpoints, and within shadow IT. This expansion creates environments where security blind spots introduce significant risk and create dangerous security gaps. According to recent data, organizations take an average of 277 days to identify and contain breaches. Companies that contain breaches in under 200 days save an average of $1.12 million.

The numbers are startling – organizations typically need 197 days to spot a cyber attack and another 69 days to contain it. This leaves systems vulnerable for more than eight months. The financial impact keeps growing. A typical cyber attack now costs organizations $4.45 million in damages – a 15% increase in the last three years. But there’s good news: cybersecurity works like asymmetric warfare. Defenders can stop an entire attack by breaking just one link in the attack chain.

The global Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem is growing at an unprecedented rate. It’s estimated that by 2030, there will be over 75 billion connected devices worldwide, up from approximately 12 billion in 2020. This massive growth presents significant opportunities, but it also exposes critical vulnerabilities, particularly when it comes to securing these devices.

There is no doubt that Jira Sandbox’s migration to a production environment requires a well-thought-out execution supported by a robust fail-safe. This is followed by recommended best practices for the process and, above all, swift data backup tools. Going further, a backup is not just an emergency measure—it’s an integral part of your migration strategy.

At 21 Apr, 20:53 GMT+0, our system, Aikido Intel started to alert us to five new package version of the xrpl package. It is the official SDK for the XRP Ledger, with more than 140.000 weekly downloads. We quickly confirmed the official XPRL (Ripple) NPM package was compromised by sophisticated attackers who put in a backdoor to steal cryptocurrency private keys and gain access to cryptocurrency wallets.

CrowdStrike is excited to announce CrowdStrike Falcon Privileged Access, a new offering within CrowdStrike Falcon Identity Protection that uses high-fidelity risk signals to provide just-in-time access to organizations’ critical permissions and resources. Adversaries know valid credentials unlock access to data, infrastructure, and capabilities.

In this week’s episode of The Future of Security Operations podcast, I'm joined by Mark Hillick, CISO at Brex. Mark’s experience in the security industry spans more than two decades. He started out as a security engineer at Allied Irish Banks before advancing through companies like MongoDB to become Director and Head of Security at Riot Games. His book, The Security Path, features over 70 interviews with security professionals on their career journeys. Mark and I discuss.

John Fitzpatrick, a distinguished cybersecurity expert and founder of Lab 539, has dedicated his career to securing complex operational technology (OT) environments. His latest project, leveraging LimaCharlie's SecOps Cloud Platform, tackled the security challenges of fuel depots and terminals—critical infrastructure with stringent operational requirements and aging technology.
