Most organizations don't discover a breach through their security tools. They find out by accident, weeks after the attacker is already inside.

In my previous blog post, I explored how attackers no longer break in, they log in, using valid credentials and identities to move through environments undetected. If identity is now the primary attack vector, then traditional perimeter-based security models are no longer sufficient. Attackers no ...

The security mantra of the last decade was “protect the network.” We built firewalls and migrated workloads to the cloud, but attackers adapted. They discovered that usernames and secrets unlock environments, so they log in instead of battering down the firewall. Reports consistently show that ...

When Google completed its acquisition of Wiz, it did more than buy a fast-growing cloud security company. It made a very public bet on where security is headed next. Google said Wiz would keep its brand, continue supporting multicloud environments, and become part of a broader platform designed to ...

In my recent blog, Top 10 Cybersecurity Risks of 2026, I explored how emerging technologies, particularly artificial intelligence, are reshaping the threat landscape. As organizations adopt large language models (LLMs) and autonomous AI agents across their environments, securing these systems is ...

Cyber‑attacks have become as routine as the sunrise. Boards and executives know that digital disruption, remote work and ever‑evolving technologies are transforming the threat landscape, but many lists of “top risks” feel like superficial checkboxes. This article goes deeper by blending technical ...

Why the Movies Make Hacking Look Instant—and Why That Hurts the Industry Scene 1: The 5-Second Breach That Broke the Internet You’ve seen it a hundred times: fluorescent green text floods the screen, techno beats rise, and a twenty-something genius shouts, “I’m in!” The camera cuts to a 3D globe ...

Cyber risk has continued its trajectory of intensification. The pace of attacker innovation, especially around AI-enabled attacks, has outstripped many defenders’ ability to keep up. Meanwhile, geopolitical tensions, software supply chain exposure, identity/credential abuse, and increasingly bold ...

Every security leader you’ve ever met can rattle off the same checklist of priorities: harden the perimeter, monitor the endpoints, secure the cloud, patch the vulnerabilities, and respond to the alerts. And yet, even the most mature programs still feel like they’re one misstep away from disaster. ...

Every organization today, whether a Fortune 500 giant or a 50-person shop, lives with an attack surface that feels less like a neatly fenced perimeter and more like a sprawling, unfinished city. New systems pop up overnight. Old ones linger because nobody remembers who owns them. Developers spin up ...

We’ve spent decades trying to build our security systems like medieval fortresses: stone walls, perimeter moats, guards on the parapets. But the threats, like the world they thrive in, have outgrown that model. They’re not storming gates anymore; they’re finding cracks in your foundations, hiding ...

Picture this: somewhere inside your SOC’s telemetry is a breach that both exists and doesn’t, until you decide to look at it. It’s the cyber equivalent of Schrödinger’s Cat: alive and dead in the logs, living in the ambiguity between “false positive” and “missed detection.”
