The AI SOC Analyst That Offloads 90%+ of Tier-1 Cases - Meet Socrates

Security Operations Centers (SOCs) continue to struggle in 2025. The perfect storm of growing alert volume, consistent talent shortage, and the well-documented limitations of legacy SOAR solutions have brought many SOC teams to a breaking point. At the same time, bad actors continue to innovate, and cybercriminals have become more sophisticated in their tactics and techniques, including using AI to launch attacks at scale.

How Content Marketing Can Educate and Convert in the Security Space

In the rapidly evolving security industry, where trust and knowledge are critical, content marketing has emerged as a powerful strategy. It's no longer enough to simply showcase your product features. Instead, brands must educate their audience on complex security challenges and guide them toward effective solutions. This approach not only builds credibility but also drives conversions by addressing real customer pain points. In this blog, we explore how security companies can use content marketing to both educate and convert their audience.

What is Multi-Level Security (MLS) and why is it important?

Implementing the right separation and information protection needed to meet defense and national security requirements is often challenging. As government and defense organisations continue to face increasingly sophisticated threats, cybersecurity must evolve to incorporate new technologies and methodologies where applicable. Dynamic Multi-Level Security (MLS) offers a solution.

Top Container Scanning Tools in 2025

Containers have become the backbone of modern DevOps, but they also introduce new security headaches. A single vulnerable base image or misconfigured container can snowball into a major breach across dozens of services. In fact, recent research found that about 75% of container images carry high-severity or critical vulnerabilities. Add to this the 2025 trends of supply chain attacks and ever-evolving CVEs, and it’s clear that container scanning tools are a must-have.

SOC 2 vs. HIPAA: Everything you need to know

SOC 2 and HIPAA are widely adopted security standards aimed at protecting in-scope organizations and the sensitive data they process from cybersecurity threats. While they have the same overarching security goal, HIPAA and SOC 2 differ in a few major aspects, and their implementation specifics can also vary considerably. ‍ Depending on your security posture and compliance needs, you may need to implement one or both frameworks.

AI - More Than a Buzzword?

Lately, the common theme in emerging identity security technology has been… well, you know. AI. It’s all anyone wants to talk about. All of us in the IAM business have been scurrying to find a way to tell our customers and the market that, yes! we have AI! we've had it all along! If that were so obviously true, then why are we having to tell you about it now? As an identity security technologist, I’ve experienced the growing pains of AI in IAM.

OWASP Top 10:2021 - A02 Cryptographic Failures

Cryptographic failures refer to the improper use, implementation, or management of cryptographic systems. These issues often result in unauthorized exposure of sensitive data like passwords, credit card numbers, or personal records. In the OWASP Top 10 – 2021, this category replaced the broader ‘sensitive data exposure’ from the 2017 list, with a sharper focus on the misuse or failure of cryptographic mechanisms.

OWASP Top 10 2021 - A09: Security Logging and Monitoring Failures

Logging and monitoring failures occur when security-relevant events are not properly captured, stored, or analyzed, making it difficult or impossible to detect ongoing attacks or respond effectively. These failures include missing logs, incomplete data, ineffective alerting mechanisms, insecure log storage, and inadequate retention policies. Such gaps are often exploited by attackers who rely on invisibility to move laterally across systems.

12 Penetration Testing Myths Blocking MSP Revenue, Margins, and Client Trust

Managed Service Providers (MSPs) sit on the front line of cyber‑defence for thousands of small and midsize businesses. Yet many still hesitate to add penetration testing (pentesting) to their security stack, largely because of persistent myths—myths that are steadily being dismantled by real‑world breach data. Fresh breach evidence makes the cost of that hesitation impossible to ignore.

DoD Cyber Clause Flowdown: What Suppliers Must Do

The Department of Defense DFARS Cybersecurity Clause, more commonly known as the DoD Cyber Clause (or just DFARS 7012), is the long-standing set of rules the DoD has put in place for all members of the DoD supply chain and defense industrial base. It has also spread beyond those boundaries through the use of DFARS 7012 clauses in contracts for other parts of the federal government.
