Keep an eye out, breaches leave patterns

Keep an eye out, breaches leave patterns

May 5, 2026 By Afnan Zoheb In ManageEngine
Most major security breaches in the last five years had one thing in common. Not just unpatched vulnerabilities, but a decision someone made to live with it. A VPN credential that never got rotated, an admin account that outlasted the employee who owned it, or a privilege elevation request approved because it was easier than asking questions. The details change, but the pattern doesn't. This isn't a story about sophisticated attackers. It's a story about blind spots, misplaced trust, and what happens when organizations mistake the absence of an incident for the presence of security.

How cybersecurity builds a sustainable future

May 5, 2026 By Monideepa Mrinal Roy In ManageEngine
On a quiet Monday morning, Maya, the IT manager of a rapidly growing renewable energy company, sat down with her coffee and opened her laptop. The dashboard looked normal: energy production steady, systems online, and wind farms operating smoothly across multiple regions. Outside her office window, rows of wind turbines stretched across the horizon, slowly turning in the soft morning light. Each turbine represented progress: a step toward clean energy and a more sustainable future.

How DDI Central's DNS security features help organizations build a stable, resilient DNS network

Apr 27, 2026 By adithya.lk@zohocorp.com In ManageEngine
Most security investments focus on the perimeter, like firewalls, endpoint agents, and SIEM alerts. Yet one of the most abused channels in enterprise attacks barely gets a second look: DNS. Before malware is executed, before data is exfiltrated, and before a lateral movement attempt begins, DNS is involved. Attackers use it to find footholds, establish command-and-control (C2) channels, and quietly map internal infrastructure.

DNS anomaly detection with machine learning: How ManageEngine DDI Central stops threats before they start

Apr 24, 2026 By Akshra GJ In ManageEngine
Most breaches don't announce themselves; they whisper. A subtly malformed DNS query here. A DHCP lease request that looks almost normal there. A client that suddenly requests a domain no one in your organization has ever heard of. By the time these whispers become alarms on a SIEM dashboard, attackers have often already moved laterally, exfiltrated data, or cemented persistence. In traditional DNS, DHCP, and IPAM (DDI) setups, these signals are buried under millions of legitimate transactions.

How ADAudit Plus eliminates auditing blind spots and provides granular visibility into your AD environment

Apr 13, 2026 By Ramprashad Guruswamy In ManageEngine
Active Directory (AD) auditing focuses on topics such as who did what, when, and from where within your network. AD auditing and SIEM monitoring are closely related, yet they play two distinct roles in cybersecurity. SIEM monitoring shows you how a change is connected to an attack or incident. Together, they enable faster investigations, accurate root-cause analysis, and a stronger security posture.

What major cyberattacks reveal about the cost of slow recovery

Apr 1, 2026 By Sharon Natasha Francis In ManageEngine
Cyberattacks often succeed not because they are sophisticated but because organizations lack reliable backups or struggle to restore data quickly. When recovery is slow, even minor disruptions can escalate, providing attackers with the time and leverage they need to deploy ransomware and halt operations. When systems go down, every minute of downtime results in operational disruption, a drop in revenue, and lost customer trust.

The NotPetya attack: What it teaches us about cyber survival

Mar 25, 2026 By Sharon Natasha Francis In ManageEngine
In June 2017, the world witnessed one of the most destructive cyberattacks in history: the NotPetya attack. Unlike traditional ransomware, NotPetya was a wiper. Once it infected a system, recovery was impossible. The ransom demand was a ruse because no decryption keys were ever made available. The true intent of the attackers was to cause disruption and damage. Nearly a decade later, NotPetya is considered a turning point in how organizations approach backup and recovery. The threat has only grown.
