Falcon Flank: Public Privilege-Escalation Claim Against CrowdStrike Falcon

What security teams need to know about an unverified local elevation-of-privilege proof of concept published against Falcon Sensor, and how to respond without overreacting. On 3 September 2026, an independent researcher publishing as MSNightmare / Chaotic Eclipse / Nightmare Eclipse released a public GitHub repository named FalconFlank. The project is described as a local privilege-escalation proof of concept against CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor on Windows.

Anatomy of a Cyber Incident: Why Recovery Fails When Personas Aren't Aligned

Despite their complexities, cyber incidents often start in a very similar manner. There is a helpdesk ticket that appears routine, a slightly unusual login attempt or a system that might just need a restart. By the time an organization formally declares an incident, the attacker has likely already been inside for hours, sometimes longer, moving quietly through cloud platforms, SaaS applications and identity systems long before anyone notices the warning signs.

A New Compliance Discipline: Key Insights from Building the Kroll Cyber Resilience Act Framework

From September 11, 2026, any manufacturer, importer or distributor of hardware and software products with digital elements made available on the EU market must comply with the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). The harmonized standards under the CRA are still being drafted, and the first will not be finalized before manufacturers need to act.

Best Hypervisors in UAE for Enterprise Virtualization

Selecting a hypervisor in the UAE is no longer just a technical infrastructure decision. For many enterprises, it now affects licensing predictability, data management, operational resilience, security, and access to regional support. As organizations continue their digital transformation initiatives, infrastructure teams are also reassessing long-standing virtualization platforms. Changes in VMware licensing and ownership have encouraged many enterprises to explore VMware Alternatives and plan potential VMware Migration strategies.

Seagate Storage Built for Scale

A storage expansion often looks simple on a spreadsheet. The organisation needs more capacity, so the infrastructure team adds drives, another enclosure or another rack and moves on. The difficulty is that each expansion carries more with it than raw terabytes. More hardware can mean more power, more cooling, more cabling, more floor space and more equipment to manage later. That is why "more storage" and "storage that scales well" are not the same thing.

Why Annual Third-Party Cyber Risk Assessments Are No Longer Enough

As regulators tighten expectations and cyber attacks increasingly exploit supply chains, organisations must shift from periodic vendor assessments to continuous third-party cyber resilience. For years, third-party cyber risk management focused primarily on vendor due diligence and annual security assessments. The objective was simple: determine whether a supplier met an acceptable level of security at a specific point in time.

Introducing Acronis Cyber Compliance: Continuous compliance built for MSPs

There is no shortage of guidance available to MSPs on how they should secure customer environments. Security frameworks, industry standards, regulatory requirements and insurance obligations all provide recommendations on the controls organizations should have in place.

Securing Public Sector Software in 2026: Security Debt Demands Action

Public sector software, from defense platforms to K-12 student information systems, is accumulating a dangerous backlog of unresolved vulnerabilities. That’s the headline finding from Veracode’s 2026 State of Software Security report, and the data behind it is unambiguous: the pace of vulnerability discovery has structurally outrun the capacity to fix them.

Privileged Account and Session Management (PASM) Explained

Privileged accounts have elevated access that can be used to rewrite system configurations, alter sensitive databases, create new admin users, and exfiltrate confidential customer data. This makes them attractive targets for attackers and risky when poorly managed. Basic passwords and network firewalls aren’t enough to protect them. You need to monitor them continuously. This is where Privileged Account and Session Management (PASM) becomes essential.
