A disaster recovery plan is only useful if it works when you need it most. But many organizations avoid testing because they worry about downtime, data loss, or interrupting employees and customers. That is where disaster recovery testing comes in. With the right approach, you can validate your recovery strategy, check whether your backups are usable, confirm your recovery time objectives, and identify gaps without taking critical systems offline. The goal is not to create risk for the business.

Endpoint security management is the centralized IT and security discipline of discovering, monitoring, and controlling all devices on an enterprise network, including laptops, servers, mobile devices, and IoT hardware, to reduce unauthorized access and limit how far threats can travel once inside.

Persona’s FedRAMP Moderate Authorization status gives federal agencies a secure and highly configurable option for verifying users, preventing fraud, and securing digital services. The US Government Accountability Office (GAO) estimates the federal government loses $233 billion to $521 billion to fraudsters annually. And many agencies are facing a significant challenge as they modernize their digital operations.

Over the last decade, while working with Fortune 500 enterprises and some of the most secure government networks on the planet, I’ve consistently heard the same question: “Can your software tell me what will happen if I push this change?”

Every year, the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report sets the tone for how the industry understands the threat landscape. And every year, the most important question isn’t what’s changed — it’s whether organizations are keeping up. Based on the 2026 Verizon DBIR, the honest answer is: not fast enough.

The way software gets built has fundamentally shifted. AI coding agents are no longer just autocomplete on steroids; they’re resolving packages, configuring environments, selecting tools, and in some cases running the entire development lifecycle, with or without a human in the loop.

Every defense contractor preparing for CMMC has the same expensive surprise: the third-party engineering firm with VPN access into one file server just doubled the size of their assessment. CMMC, the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification that DoD will require on covered solicitations starting November 10, 2026, is scored against the systems that touch Controlled Unclassified Information, or CUI.

In the world of application security, vulnerabilities are always a moving target. As modern applications keep becoming increasingly API-driven, cloud-native, and dependent on third-party services, the attack surface has expanded dramatically. For years, the OWASP Top 10 has served as the North Star for security professionals, providing a consensus-based ranking of the most critical web application security risks.

On May 14, GitGuardian found a public GitHub repository called "Private-CISA" — 844 MB of plain-text passwords, AWS tokens, and Entra ID SAML certificates belonging to CISA, exposed since November 2025. Some credentials were still valid. CISA pulled it offline within 26 hours.

Security leaders know the threat is real. Getting finance to agree is a different problem. Brand protection ROI is calculable, but most teams never build the model, so the budget request dies in review. The core formula is straightforward: add avoided fraud losses, account takeover (ATO) remediation savings, churn prevention value, and analyst time recovered, then subtract software cost and edivide by that cost.
