Frost & Sullivan has recognized LevelBlue as a Growth Index leader in the just-released Frost Radar: Managed Detection and Response, 2025. Companies plotted on the Frost Radar are the leaders in the industry for growth, innovation, or both. This recognition indicates LevelBlue is a leader in Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and an organization others should look to when deciding how to best solve their cybersecurity needs.

For the second consecutive year, LevelBlue has been named a top-ranked Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP), placing fifth on the prestigious MSSP Alert’s Top MSSP 250 list for 2025. “LevelBlue is the world’s largest pure-play Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP), offering AI-driven, cloud-native cybersecurity solutions across managed security, MDR, offensive security, strategic advisory, and incident response,” MSSP Alert said.

The way teams browse, work, and share data has changed fast, and so have online threats. A Secure Web Gateway (SWG) gives you a smart, always-on filter between your users and the internet, blocking malicious sites, unsafe downloads, and risky behaviors before they cause damage. With cloud apps becoming the backbone of daily operations, an SWG ensures every web request is inspected, every threat is stopped, and every employee stays protected, whether they’re in the office or working remotely.

The disclosure of React2Shell (CVE-2025-55182) triggered a rapid patching effort across the React and Next.js ecosystem. However, deeper inspection of React Server Components (RSC) in the aftermath revealed additional vulnerabilities in adjacent code paths. These vulnerabilities pose serious operational and security risks.

Managing 5,000+ identities across your enterprise? Each one is a potential entry point for attackers—and your IAM security is only as strong as your weakest access point. This is where the most effective IAM best practices and data-driven strategies come into play.

We shipped some big updates this week!

Manual access requests and long-lived credentials pose a significant scaling challenge for engineering teams, even as they automate pipelines, testing, delivery, and monitoring. As the volume of machine identities grows, the sheer volume of permissions makes manual review and revocation unmanageable, increasing risks of stale tokens and silent privilege exposure. Nearly 47% of cloud intrusions stem from weak or mismanaged credentials, according to a Google Cloud report.

The theme at the Gartner IAM Summit conference this year was clear: identity is no longer adjacent to the business. It is the business. That idea showed up in the opening keynote, analyst sessions, hallway conversations, and especially in the gap between how IAM is supposed to work and how it actually works inside most organizations. After a week of listening closely, a few takeaways rose above the noise. We did not see many buzzwords or grand predictions.
