Access review tools differ more than their marketing suggests: standalone certification platforms, full identity governance suites, and compliance automation tools all call themselves access review solutions and solve different problems at different costs and with varying implementation overhead. Matching governance maturity and compliance framework to the right category matters more than comparing feature lists, especially when audit evidence must prove that rejected access was actually removed.

Most teams conflate two questions that require separate tools: who can access a sensitive share right now, and who changed access or opened files. Native Windows utilities resolve neither at scale, so audits stall and incidents lose their trail. The tool you need calculates effective access across nested groups and captures every permission change with attribution across Windows, network-attached storage, and SharePoint.

Healthcare has spent years strengthening its infrastructure against ransomware, patching vulnerabilities, deploying endpoint detection, and implementing zero-trust architectures. Yet, attackers continue to find new ways to compromise healthcare organizations.

Researchers at Cisco Talos are tracking a sophisticated phishing-as-a-service operator panel called “ARToken” that’s built on the EvilTokens phishing platform. ARToken focuses on targeted social engineering attacks, allowing operators to customize phishing attempts for each victim.

Threat actors are using a new technique called “phantom squatting” to trick AI tools into directing users to phishing sites, according to researchers at Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42. Since AI models frequently hallucinate phony information, they sometimes point users to websites that don’t exist. Threat actors are now registering these AI-hallucinated domains and using them to host phishing sites.

Every tool in the enterprise security stack was designed to answer a specific question about a specific threat model.

Every time a cyber breach breaks headlines, leadership teams pose the same urgent question: Does this affect us? But a third-party risk team is likely already asking: Was one of our vendors, suppliers, partners, or other third parties involved? And increasingly: What if it was not our direct vendor, but one of theirs?

Most compliance teams have filed the EU Cyber Resilience Act under “2027” — the date the regulation becomes fully applicable. That’s the wrong filing date. From 11 September 2026, manufacturers must already report actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe incidents affecting products with digital elements, more than a year before the rest of the regulation takes effect.

Consider a few tasks that take place across every business, every day.

Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update (CPU) is nearly three times larger than any release in the company's history. To understand it, we parsed all 23 of Oracle's quarterly advisories going back to 2021, matched them against the official CVE record, and compared Oracle against eight other major vendors. We set out to answer three questions: How much of this is genuinely new? Does it really reflect AI-accelerated patching? And how unusual is it?
