Preventing Human Error in Modern Cyber Defenses
The truth no security team likes to admit is this: technology isn’t the weakest link. People are. Not because they’re careless or untrained, but because they’re human. And in cybersecurity, one distracted click, one mistyped command, or one forgotten update is all it takes for an attacker to gain ground. We spend millions building smarter […]
Why Strong Passwords Fail Against Credential Stuffing
For years, we’ve been told that the best way to protect our accounts is to create strong, complex passwords. Numbers, special characters, uppercase letters—mix them up, and you’re safe. Or so we thought. The reality is far more unsettling. Even the strongest password loses its power once it’s leaked in a breach. And with billions […]
Protecting Against Insider Threats with Early Detection
People often think of outside threats when they think of cybersecurity. These include ransomware gangs, phishing emails, and hackers trying to get past firewalls. But some of the most dangerous risks come from inside the company. They come from inside. Insider threats are especially dangerous because they involve people who already have legal access to […]
Why Vulnerability Disclosure Builds Trust in Security
In cybersecurity, the scariest flaw isn’t the one buried deep in your code. It’s the one you don’t know about. For years, organizations treated security researchers who uncovered these flaws as nuisances or worse, as threats. But the reality is clear: shutting the door on researchers doesn’t make you safer. Listening to them does that. […]
Zero Trust Security—The Future Beyond Firewalls
For years, security felt simple: build a wall, watch the gate, and trust everything inside. That “castle-and-moat” idea worked when apps lived in your data center and your people sat in one office behind the firewall. Today? Not so much. Remote work, SaaS, APIs, and mobile devices have turned the network inside out. The perimeter […]
Why Patient Data Is a Prime Target for Hackers
The healthcare industry has undergone a massive digital shift. With everything from electronic health records (EHRs) and diagnostic systems to billing platforms and remote consultations moving online, it’s no surprise that cyber risks have surged alongside. But it’s not just the shift—it’s what’s at stake. Healthcare doesn’t just store data; it safeguards people’s most private […]
India’s ₹22 Crore Breach Wake-Up Call What It Means for Your Security Strategy
When breach costs hit a record ₹22 crore, it stops being just another industry statistic and starts becoming a boardroom issue. That’s where India stands today, according to The Times of India’s coverage of IBM’s latest global study. The cost of a single breach has never been higher in this market. A 12% jump over […]
How Proactive Threat Hunting Strengthens Security
Most Security Operations Centers (SOCs) operate in a loop of alerts, investigations, and incident reports. This approach is reactive, often exhausting, and easy for modern threat actors to work around. Attackers today don’t kick in the front door. They blend in, stay quiet, and use tactics that signature-based tools simply can’t detect. So, what separates […]
How Supply Chain Attacks Are Breaching Trusted Vendors
When your vendor’s system gets breached, you don’t just lose trust—you lose money, data, and possibly months of operational momentum. We’ve seen it play out too many times. The SolarWinds compromise was just the beginning. Then came Kaseya, dragging MSPs and their clients into ransomware chaos. And the MOVEit file transfer breach? That one hit […]
