What CVE-2026-20079 Means for Every Network Team

On September 9, Cisco confirmed what earlier warning signs had already hinted at: a security flaw in its Secure Firewall Management Center (Secure FMC) software, the tool that configures and controls Cisco firewalls across a network, is being actively exploited. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-20079, received a maximum severity score of 10.0 on the CVSS scale, the industry-standard scale used to rate how serious a vulnerability is.

Your Vulnerability Backlog Is No Longer Technical Debt, It's an Attack Surface

Every security program has one: a queue of a few thousand findings, or a few hundred thousand, that nobody has worked through and nobody expects to. Most teams file it under technical debt, a cost carried on purpose, paid down when there is room, and tolerable because the interest rate stays low. That accounting held for a long time, because it rested on a single assumption: almost nothing in the queue would ever be reached, or exploited, by anyone.

Why Carbon Data Needs the Same Controls as Financial Records

Most security teams know exactly where their financial records live, who can edit them and how every change gets logged. Ask the same questions about the company's emissions data and the answers often get vague. That gap matters more each year. Greenhouse gas figures now end up in regulatory filings, investor reports and assurance reviews, which means they carry the same risks as any other disclosed number.

A UX Firm in Delaware and Designing for Fintech: Two Different Briefs

The short version Two searches show up in the same procurement folder. One looks for a UX firm Delaware founders can meet without a flight. The other looks for a team that has already shipped a regulated financial product. Those searches answer different questions, and the second one is harder to fake.

Emerging Threat: (CVE-2026-94545) Next.js Remote Code Execution via ImageResponse SVG Injection

CVE-2026-94545 is a remote code execution vulnerability in the next/og ImageResponse API of Next.js, the React framework maintained by Vercel. ImageResponse generates images on the server, typically Open Graph preview cards, by rendering markup through the Satori library into SVG and then into a raster image.

Modern Data Security Should Be Anchored To Your Data's Lineage

New AI tools appear every day. The novelty and utility they bring, along with the constant pressure to be more productive, pull employees toward them to get work done faster. The intent is good but the effect can range from problematic to damaging, because while there are rules in place for sanctioned tools, there are none for the ones that quietly show up in between.

iGaming Fraud Prevention: How to Protect Player Accounts Preemptively Without Adding Friction

iGaming fraud prevention does not have to mean applying more security checks broadly across the player journey. For player account takeover, the better objective is to obtain enough reliable risk context early enough to reserve additional checks for the accounts and access attempts that actually warrant them. The commercial stakes are growing alongside the market. U.S. iGaming revenue reached $10.73 billion in 2025, up 27.6% year over year, according to the American Gaming Association.

MDM vs. MAM: Which Mobile Management Option Fits Your Business?

Every IT team managing a mobile workforce eventually hits the same fork in the road: do you manage the whole device, or just the apps that matter? That question sits at the heart of the MDM vs. MAM debate. Getting the answer wrong can mean either locking down employee phones so tightly that people revolt, or leaving corporate data exposed on devices you barely control. Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Mobile Application Management (MAM) solve overlapping problems in very different ways.
