Choosing the best cybersecurity software is easier said than done, especially with the countless options on the market that promise us a rich feature set, astonishing effectiveness, and low prices. However, things are not always as advertised by vendors, and the real problem is that we only realize this after purchasing the product.

The Securonix Threat Research team has analyzed a multi-stage Windows malware campaign tracked as SHADOW#REACTOR. The infection chain follows a tightly orchestrated execution path: an obfuscated VBS launcher executed via wscript.exe invokes a PowerShell downloader, which retrieves fragmented, text-based payloads from a remote host. These fragments are reconstructed into encoded loaders, decoded in memory by a .NET Reactor–protected assembly, and used to fetch and apply a remote Remcos configuration.

As organizations worldwide recalibrate their operations in the wake of unprecedented change, remote work has emerged not simply as a fleeting trend but as a mainstay of modern business. For compliance experts and leaders alike, this shift has introduced a complex interplay of governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) challenges and opportunities.

Big changes to HIPAA are coming in February 2026 including new rules on how sensitive health data is handled, and updates to the required patient privacy notices. IT teams will play a key role in making sure those protections are actually enforced.

DevOps teams did not sign up to be security teams. But if you run repos, CI/CD, cloud roles, SaaS apps, integrations, or backups, you operate the systems attackers lean on. Most breaches are not flashy. They start with routine failures: a token left in a repo, MFA not enforced, an overprivileged API key that never expires, or backups that are deletable by the same admin identity. Attackers do not need to “break in” if they can log in.

When most security teams think about insider risk, they immediately picture the malicious actor: the disgruntled employee downloading a customer list before quitting, or the rogue developer leaking source code to a competitor.

MITRE ATLAS has become a critical resource for cybersecurity leaders navigating the rapidly evolving world of AI-enabled systems.Traditional threat models are built for human-initiated workflows, APIs, and infrastructure, so they are no longer sufficient to describe modern AI attacks..

Over the last year, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers have transitioned from "cool developer experiments" into critical production infrastructure. Developers love them because they allow AI agents to open tickets, query databases, and update records with almost zero integration backlog. But there is a fundamental truth we must acknowledge before moving forward: The AI revolution is actually an API revolution.

User-installable extensions for Visual Studio Code, Cursor, and other Integrated Development Environments are an increasingly exploited attack vector, with new malicious extensions discovered almost weekly. Do you have visibility and control?

On January 7, 2026, Trend Micro released a critical patch for Apex Central on-premises versions below Build 7190, addressing multiple vulnerabilities. The most severe of the vulnerabilities disclosed is CVE-2025-69258, a critical severity vulnerability, which allows unauthenticated threat actors to load malicious DLLs and execute arbitrary code as SYSTEM without user interaction. The advisory also includes two medium-severity denial-of-service vulnerabilities, CVE-2025-69259 and CVE-2025-69260.
