Security Control Management: The New Mandate for Risk-Driven Security

Feb 3, 2026 By CP Morey In Reach Security
Article updated and refreshed February 3rd, 2026. Because the tools you’ve deployed aren’t the same as the ones you’re using. Security teams today aren’t short on tools. Most environments are packed with security controls—spanning email, identity, network, endpoint, and cloud. But despite this abundance, risk remains stubbornly high. Attacks continue to land. Exposure persists. The problem isn’t the absence of controls. It’s the lack of control over the controls.

AI for Security Infrastructure: Rebalancing Cybersecurity for the Decade Ahead

Jan 29, 2026 By Garrett Hamilton, CEO and Co-Founder In Reach Security
For more than a decade, cybersecurity has been shaped by a single doctrine: assume breach. Facing high-volume, relentless, and diverse attacks, the security industry has been forced into a reactive stance, playing a constant game of whack-a-mole in a nonstop damage-limitation exercise. This has driven major investment in detection, response, and recovery, and created a world in which organizations are better at reacting to incidents than at preventing them in the first place.

What Device Code Phishing Reveals About Security Configuration Gaps

Jan 8, 2026 By John Dominguez In Reach Security
Recent research from Proofpoint highlights a growing trend in identity-based attacks. Rather than stealing passwords or exploiting software flaws, multiple threat actors are now abusing legitimate Microsoft authentication workflows to gain access to Microsoft 365 accounts at scale. This technique, known as device code phishing, is not new. What is new is how widespread the technique has become, particularly among both state-aligned and financially motivated adversaries.

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

Nov 26, 2025 By CP Morey In Reach Security
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

My Black Friday Cybersecurity Wishlist

Nov 20, 2025 By Chloe Potsklan, Senior Security Researcher In Reach Security
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.
