Patch Reliability Score: Make patch deployment decisions with confidence

Aug 3, 2026 By Hari Prasadh Thennarasu In ManageEngine
Every Patch Tuesday starts the same way: New patches become available, and administrators begin answering the question, Is this patch safe to deploy? That answer rarely comes from a single place. Most administrators read the vendor's knowledge base article, look for known issues, monitor community discussions, and wait for early deployment feedback before rolling the patch out across the organization.

The first short-lifespan TLS renewal wave is closer than it looks

The first short-lifespan TLS renewal wave is closer than it looks

Aug 3, 2026 By ManageEngine In ManageEngine
If your organization runs anything on the public internet, a mandate that changes how often you renew TLS certificates is already in effect. In March 2026, the maximum validity of public TLS certificates dropped from 398 days to 200. What fewer teams have worked out is that the first certificates issued under the 200-day cap start expiring at the end of September. That makes this autumn the first real test of whether your renewal workflows are ready for what the next three years will ask of them.

CrowdStrike 2026 Threat Hunting Report: Exploitation Window Closes as AI Use Accelerates

Aug 3, 2026 By Counter Adversary Operations In CrowdStrike
The CrowdStrike 2026 Threat Hunting Report illustrates the next evolution in trust abuse. Adversaries are targeting trusted users and tools across identity systems, cloud environments, SaaS applications, AI services, software supply chains, and developer workflows to blend into legitimate business activity and reach critical assets before defenders can detect them. Our frontline intelligence in this year’s report underscores this shift.

Best Practices for Managing the Identity Lifecycle

Aug 3, 2026 By Minal Purwar In miniOrange
Every employee, contractor, and partner who touches your systems creates a paper trail of accounts, permissions, and access rights that has to be managed from the day they join to long after they leave. Identity lifecycle management is the process of creating, updating, and retiring a user's digital identity and access rights across that entire span — from onboarding through role changes to offboarding.

Next Gen SIEM: Modern Security Ops Guide

Aug 3, 2026 By cesmng In UTMStack
Monday starts the same way in too many SOCs. The queue is already full, the overnight team has left behind a stack of alerts nobody had time to finish, and the first hour goes to deciding which notifications are real and which ones are just noise. That's the point where next gen SIEM stops being a product category and becomes an operational decision, because the wrong platform turns your analysts into log clerks while the right one helps them work threats in real time.

A Safer Future with Agents

Aug 3, 2026 By Michael Bargury In Zenity
We built agents to act on their own. We're somehow surprised when they do. Two weeks ago, OpenAI ran a cyber eval with the model's guardrails turned down. The model got hyperfocused on solving the benchmark. So it broke out of its sandbox exploiting a zero-day in jFrog Artifactory, reached the open internet, exploited another zero-day to break into HuggingFace, all to steal the answers and cheat on the test.

Zenity Raises $125 Million to Secure the Era of Autonomous AI

Aug 3, 2026 By Ben Kliger In Zenity
A few years ago, when Michael and I started Zenity, most of the industry was not ready to hear what we believed. Software itself was changing. AI would let millions of people, not just engineers, build and automate real work. And securing that world would take a completely new approach, because we would no longer be protecting software. We would be protecting systems that think, decide, and act on their own.

You Can't Buy Your Way Out of Downtime

Aug 3, 2026 By Will May In Arctic Wolf
A ransomware note doesn’t take down a business. The weeks of downtime after it does. That’s the distinction I hear missed most in boardroom conversations about cyber risk. Leaders ask what it costs to stop an attack. The harder question, and the one that actually decides whether a business comes out the other side, is what it takes to keep operating while you recover from one.
