Practical Cybersecurity for Small Water Utilities: 5 Steps to Reduce Operational Risk

SpiderLabs’ technical review of the July attacks examines the affected technologies, observed activity, and broader threat landscape. The next question is practical: what can small utilities realistically do about it? At many small water and wastewater facilities, there is often no dedicated security team to understaff. A licensed operator may be responsible for sampling, maintenance, compliance, and after-hours callouts, perhaps with limited support from municipal IT.

Cloudflare DDoS Threat Report H1 2026: 1 Tbps attacks soar as DNS floods and geopolitical tensions drive a new wave

Welcome to the 25th edition of Cloudflare's DDoS Threat Report. This is the first half-year edition in the series: rather than publishing separate reports for the first and second quarters of 2026, we have combined our coverage of Q1 and Q2 into a single volume covering January through June 2026.

How Do Insurance Companies Decide What Vehicle Repairs They'll Cover After an Accident?

After a crash, most people assume the insurance company will cover the damage, and that'll be the end of it. That assumption runs into reality fast. Insurance companies don't just write a check for whatever the shop quotes - they follow a defined process built around policy terms, liability findings, and vehicle valuation methods that can cut your settlement well below what you actually need. Understanding how that process works puts you in a far stronger position, whether you're filing a claim through your own insurer or pursuing the at-fault driver's policy.

5 Reasons a Security Guard Cannot Legally Replace a Fire Watch Guard

With a malfunction in a fire alarm system, the main fire line breaks, or life safety control panels become non-functional due to maintenance work, there will be a requirement for compliance immediately. In order to save time and money, facility directors usually rely on the security guards who perform their duties in the building to "watch out for any fires.".

LLM Prompt Security Best Practices

An employee pastes a customer contract into ChatGPT to summarize it. Nothing gets attached, nothing crosses the network in a file, and no alert fires. That is the gap most LLM security advice does not address. Prompt security is not the same problem as prompt injection or model hardening. It is a data problem consisting of what enters a prompt, what an agent does with it, and what comes back out.

What is FileVault Disk Encryption?

If your organization uses a Mac, you’ve probably heard of FileVault. But what is it, exactly? And more importantly, do you actually need it? A lost Mac can become much more than an expensive replacement if you have sensitive business data in it. FileVault is one of the simplest ways to protect it. Apple provides it by default with macOS. It encrypts your startup disk, so your files stay unreadable if someone gets access to your Mac without your login.

Meeting HIPAA Log Retention Requirements in 2026

You're usually not thinking about retention when the week starts. You're thinking about alert noise, an audit request from compliance, and a storage bill that keeps climbing because logs are piling up in your SIEM, EDR, or XDR stack. Then someone asks a simple question, and the answer isn't simple at all. Which logs must be kept, for how long, and where do you stop using hot storage and start preserving evidence for HIPAA?
