The One Cybersecurity Policy Every Small Business Needs (And Most Don't Have)
Most small business owners have thought about cybersecurity at some point. Maybe after reading a headline about a ransomware attack. Maybe after a coworker clicked a sketchy email. Maybe after their IT company mentioned it in passing. But thinking about cybersecurity and actually having a policy in place are two very different things. Businesses that invest in proper cybersecurity services are far less likely to suffer a costly breach, yet most small businesses are still operating without one critical layer of protection: a formal Acceptable Use Policy.
Back to the Fundamentals: Reflections from the IACIS BCFE Event in Orlando
In today’s cybersecurity landscape, speed is often treated as the ultimate objective. Organizations are racing to adopt AI-driven technologies, automate workflows, reduce response times, and deliver faster outcomes. Digital forensics is no exception. Forensic examiners increasingly rely on tools that automate large parts of the analysis process, helping reduce the time required for complex investigations. But this raises an important question: at what cost?
SecurityScorecard Weekly Brief: The Driftnet Edition on Critical Infrastructure - Gilad F. Maizles
In this week’s Weekly Brief: The Driftnet Edition, Cyber Researcher Gilad F. Maizles breaks down new SecurityScorecard research powered by the company’s acquisition of Driftnet, exposing widespread internet-facing risk inside a U.S. municipal utility provider that also operated as the town’s ISP. “Threat actors will always target the lowest hanging fruit.” Using the Driftnet engine, SecurityScorecard identified significantly more internet-facing services and attack paths than traditional methodologies.
Fireside Chat With TPRA: Three Hard TruthsAbout TPRM in the Post-Mythos Era
Frontier AI models like Mythos have intensified the urgency to rethink cybersecurity. But for third-party risk teams, the harder question remains: how do we prioritize the actions that actually drive business outcomes? As TPRM becomes more tightly tied to business impact, resilience, continuity, and revenue protection, leaders need a clearer view of the hard truths shaping their programs.
Threat Insights: Prioritize Security Work Around Real-World Threats
Security leaders are under pressure to do more than identify issues. They need to show that security work is reducing real risk. That’s harder than it should be. Attack surfaces keep expanding, threats keep changing, and many teams are still working through long lists of issues without enough context to know what deserves attention first. That's where Threat Insights in Bitsight Security Posture Management can make a real difference.
Shadow MCP Servers: The AI Infrastructure You Can't See
In 2012, the "Shadow IT" crisis was employees putting files in Dropbox for convenience. In 2026, the crisis is Shadow MCP. Instead of a simple file storage app, security teams are now facing unvetted AI agents with the power to read from and write to internal systems. These servers are often running on infrastructure that was never reviewed, never approved, and remains entirely invisible to governance.
Cyber Risk Management: Expert Insights for Enterprise Leaders
Cyber risk has long outgrown its classification as a technical concern. For organizations serious about protecting enterprise value, managing cyber exposure requires financial grounding and the ability to communicate risk in terms that drive real decisions at the board and executive level. The distance between organizations that manage cyber risk strategically and those that report on it comes down to measurement approaches and the programs built around it.
Balancing AI Innovation and Risk: Enhance Organizational Resilience
Artificial intelligence (AI) offers businesses vast opportunities to boost efficiency, improve decision-making, and innovate faster. Yet, these benefits come with significant risks that can impact business operations and resilience if not managed carefully. This article explores how organizations can balance leveraging AI’s advantages while controlling its inherent risks.
Introducing Bitsight Beacon: Supply Chain Exposure Management for the SOC
The ripple effects of a cyberattack rarely stay contained. Modern organizations rely on vast ecosystems of vendors, suppliers, SaaS providers, and partners. As those connections deepen, so does the potential blast radius of a third-party compromise. What begins as an exposed system or stolen credential inside a vendor environment can quickly cascade across the supply chain. Attackers understand this. Increasingly, they target trusted third parties as an indirect path into larger organizations.
