Exposure Management Explained: How to Go Beyond Vulnerability Scanning

Vulnerability scanning gives security teams a starting point, but it has never been the whole picture. Scan results capture known CVEs across applications and systems, yet they say nothing about whether a given weakness is actually reachable, whether the controls around it are functioning correctly, or whether the people with access to it represent a meaningful risk. Exposure management addresses all of that.

Misconfigured Security Controls Open the Door for Storm-2949

The Microsoft Defender Security Research Team and Microsoft Threat Intelligence documented a campaign in which Storm-2949 abused Microsoft Entra ID accounts to exfiltrate data from Microsoft 365 and Azure environments. The attack shows how cloud intrusions increasingly unfold through identity systems, administrative features, and legitimate platform capabilities rather than obvious malware or traditional endpoint compromise.

Close Defensive Gaps Before AI Attacks Exploit Them

The speed of AI-powered attacks is mind-numbing. CrowdStrike found that average eCrime breakout time fell to 29 minutes, with the fastest recorded breakout at 27 seconds. Armadin showed an LLM-driven NTLM relay attack completing in under three minutes, then roughly 1.5 minutes with BloodHound MCP context.

Security Hardening Explained: Why is it Critical for Your Security Program?

Security hardening is the practice of systematically reducing the ways an attacker can get into, move through, or persist in your environment.The reason this is a priority is that the gap between "deployed" and "properly configured" is where most breaches actually live. This guide covers the core principles of hardening, how it maps to compliance requirements, and how automated tooling has changed the way mature security teams operationalize it at scale.

What is Security Debt and What Should Your Organization Do About it?

Businesses are constantly investing in new security tools to protect their digital environments. However, many organizations are only tapping into a small fraction of what those tools can actually do. This massive amount of unused potential adds up to something called security debt: a growing risk for organizations of all sizes. Security debt occurs when tools capable of mitigating threats are underutilized, misconfigured, or left idle.

The Configuration Drift Behind the Teams Helpdesk Breach

On April 22, 2026, Google's Threat Intelligence Group and Mandiant disclosed a campaign by a threat actor they're tracking as UNC6692. The group breached enterprise networks by impersonating IT helpdesk staff over Microsoft Teams, ultimately exfiltrating Active Directory databases and achieving full domain compromise. What's notable about UNC6692 is what they didn't do. They didn't use a zero-day. They didn't exploit a software vulnerability.

New Research Finds Configuration Drift is Driving Cybersecurity Incidents Across 97% of Organizations

The study, commissioned by Reach Security, reveals widespread misconfigurations, slow remediation cycles, and manual approaches to drift management, highlighting the urgent need for preemptive approaches that continuously validate security controls.

Microsoft E3, E5, and E7 Security Licenses: A Data-Driven Upgrade Guide

Upgrading Microsoft enterprise licenses from E3 to E5 or from Entra ID Plan 1 to Plan 2? Whether your company is making the move or evaluating it, the key question is: How do you turn licensing changes into real security gains? Platformizing remains a major trend in 2025, and Microsoft often sits at the center of these efforts due to its broad security capabilities. But maximizing value from E3 and E5 licenses requires time, expertise, and contextual understanding of your environment.

Exploring CSPM: What is Cloud Security Posture Management?

Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) is a category of cloud security tooling that automates the identification and remediation of misconfigurations and security risks across cloud environments. CSPM solutions continuously monitor how cloud resources are set up, compare those configurations against industry benchmarks and organizational policies, and flag issues that could create security exposure.
