Traditional vulnerability management is broken. It is ineffective. The process of scanning for software vulnerabilities, prioritizing based on CVSS scores, and fixing what you can has become an endless patch cycle. The need for a better approach is clear. Different scanning tools are creating millions of alerts, obscuring critical risks within the noise. Organizations need to go beyond finding and patching vulnerabilities and opt in to a more effective approach to managing exposures.

To keep pace with the scale and sophistication of cyber threats, organizations are re-evaluating how they secure the most common attack surface the endpoint. From laptops and servers to mobile devices, endpoints serve as entry points into business-critical systems. This is why Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools are fast becoming a foundational layer in modern cyber defence strategies.

Cybersecurity is a high-stakes landscape, with very real threats of data breaches, malware, and other cyberattacks lurking around the corner. But detecting cyber threats is only half the battle—what happens when the threats you detect aren’t real? Enter the deceiving world of false positives—security alerts that incorrectly identify legitimate activity as malicious. While most security tools are designed to maximize detection, they often sacrifice accuracy in the process. The result?

Ollama is an emerging open-source framework designed to run large language models (LLMs) locally. While it provides a flexible and efficient way to serve AI models, improper configurations can introduce serious security risks. Many organizations unknowingly expose Ollama instances to the internet, leaving them vulnerable to unauthorized access, data exfiltration, and adversarial manipulation.

Third and fourth-party vendors have become paramount to many businesses’ operations, as they can help improve efficiency and expand the availability of services. However, these vendors often come with increased cybersecurity risks for your organization.

Trust is critical to the success of every business. But building, scaling and demonstrating trust is getting harder for UK organisations. ‍ Vanta’s second annual UK State of Trust Report uncovers key trends across these areas of security, compliance and the future of trust.

No organization can achieve its goals on its own. To truly get ahead in the rapidly transitioning digital society, any organization will need a diverse group of partners who specialize in the products and services they do not. Commonly referred to as a “supply chain” this web of connections ensures the world operates smoothly, but navigating its many connections is challenging. Luckily, Bitsight TRACE doesn’t shy away from a challenge.
