Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

Defined by Gartner as the next evolution of breach and attack simulation (BAS), adversarial exposure validation (AEV) is a security solution that continuously assesses how well security controls prevent, detect, and respond to real-world adversarial behaviors—across multiple environments and the entire attack lifecycle.

For the fourth year running, in 2025, the IBM X-Force Threat Intelligence Index crowned the manufacturing sector as the number one targeted industry for cybercrime, representing 26% of incidents. The problem is so bad that manufacturing has even managed to defy malware's decline, with attackers exploiting the industry's legacy technology to deploy ransomware at a massive scale. But why is the manufacturing sector so vulnerable? What unique cybersecurity risks does it face?

It's almost a tradition in cybersecurity circles to say the Board of Directors' ignorance or indifference on the topic is one of the biggest impediments an organization must overcome to have better security. But is this still the case?

Bypass the limitations of default email OTP login in Shopify B2B customer accounts to manage shared users access using custom registration login form.

Modern software teams have a buffet of security tools to choose from. Veracode, Checkmarx, and Fortify are three heavyweight application security platforms often considered by technical leaders. Each promises to secure your code and catch vulnerabilities early. But choosing the right one matters: it impacts developer workflow, security coverage, and how much time your team spends chasing false alarms.

How I wrapped large-language-model power in a safety blanket of secrets-detection, chunking, and serverless scale.

"The US healthcare system is broken" is not an uncommon phrase. With no universal healthcare coverage, administrative inefficiencies, and an under-resourced primary care system, it's so bad that falling ill could very well bankrupt a citizen.

Cybersecurity typically focuses on technical defenses against threats. However, the study of deception can show how cybercriminals exploit human nature for their gain. Scamming is central in many cyberattacks, such as phishing, social engineering, and disinformation campaigns. We can gain insight into how these mechanisms work by mapping the emotions that bad actors aim to trigger in their victims.
