When Misconfigurations Become the Front Door: What Russia's Edge Device Campaign Signals for Modern Cyber Defense

A recent Dark Reading article highlighted a sobering shift in how nation-state threat actors are gaining access to critical infrastructure. According to reporting on a new Amazon Threat Intelligence disclosure, Russian actors affiliated with the GRU have spent years refining a campaign that increasingly bypasses traditional vulnerability exploitation altogether. Instead, they are walking straight through the front door left open by misconfigured network edge devices.

Threat Exposure Management: A Better Way to Answer "How Exposed Are We?"

Security leaders are asking a new question with greater urgency: How exposed are we? In an era where every application, identity, and integration expands the attack surface, answering that question with clarity is no longer optional. The traditional model of vulnerability management cannot keep up. Findings come in faster than they can be addressed. Visibility is fragmented. Risk prioritization is often based on severity scores rather than business impact.

My Black Friday Cybersecurity Wishlist

Black Friday and Cyber Monday always bring bargain buys as consumers hunt for deals to make the upcoming festive season special, but they are also a bonanza for cybercriminals. Attacks spike during the holiday season as cybercriminals take advantage of workers being out of their usual routine and less vigilant than normal. This makes for far from happy holidays for the businesses affected. However, what many organizations don't realize is that often they already have the tools to protect themselves in their security armory; they just haven't activated them.

Proactively Identify and Eliminate Defensive Weaknesses with Cybersecurity Domain-Specific AI

AI is everywhere. I live in San Francisco, and a day doesn’t go by that I don’t see a billboard, an advertisement on the side of a bus, or a tech bro’s hoodie with two big letters on it: AI. It’s no different in cybersecurity marketing – AI terminology is everywhere. But too often, it’s tacked on as a buzzword – a thin layer washed on top of existing security tools, with little real impact. This makes it tricky to decipher what’s real and what’s hype.

Network Security Policy Management (NSPM): Keeping Policy and Reality Aligned

Network Security Policy Management (NSPM) is the discipline of defining, enforcing, and maintaining the network policies that govern how systems communicate, what data moves where, and who can access what. It sits at the intersection of security and operations, helping organizations maintain consistent, enforceable rules across increasingly complex infrastructures.

The Shift Left of Boom: Making Cyber Threat Prevention Practical Again

The old saying "prevention is better than cure" has lost currency in today's cybersecurity industry. Instead, security teams are advised to assume that the business has been breached and focus on threat detection, investigation, response, and recovery. Yet, during cyber incident post-mortems, it is not uncommon to find that the business owned the tool that would have protected it against the breach. The problem arose because it wasn't correctly configured before the incident happened, and no one knew this - or if they did, they didn't have the time or resources to fix it.

EAP and XDR: An Essential Marriage of Proactive and Reactive Security Operations

In cybersecurity, detection and response are table stakes. Attackers are faster, techniques more subtle, and the cost of even small missteps on the part of the defender is growing. For security teams investing in Extended Detection and Response (XDR) tools like Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR, those investments are critical—but they are not enough on their own.

Security Starts Left of Boom: Pre-Event Strategies for Proactive Risk Reduction

For years, cybersecurity has lived under a grim banner: “It’s not a matter of if you’ll be breached, but when.” That phrase became the industry’s guiding principle. Relying on prevention alone was slowly written off as impossible. Instead, the dominant wisdom declared that organizations must accept compromise as inevitable and prepare to deal with attackers after they had already gained a foothold.
