Sep 6, 2026 By Ian Andersen In Netwrix
Free Active Directory management tools handle lockouts, stale accounts, permissions reporting and bulk changes without a purchase order, and most teams already run several without having picked them deliberately. Each one stops somewhere specific. Knowing where the free editions end, and which gaps close only with a licensed product, decides how the next audit goes.

Ultimate Guide to Group Policy Management in Active Directory

Sep 6, 2026 By Russell Smith In Netwrix
Group policy management determines whether a domain enforces consistent security settings or drifts into configuration chaos one unaudited change at a time. Creating, linking, filtering, enforcing, delegating and backing up policy objects are the daily mechanics, while inheritance and precedence decide which setting wins when two conflict. Permissions on those objects turn misconfiguration into an attack path.

Where Does Session Replay Cross the Line?

Where Does Session Replay Cross the Line?

Sep 6, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
Session replay has quietly become default infrastructure. Product teams want to see where users stall, support wants to stop asking "can you send a screenshot," and engineering wants a reproduction path for the bug that only happens on one customer's machine. The business case writes itself. The security review, in most organisations, never really happened. So when the question finally comes up - where does this stop being lawful? - most teams go looking for the answer in the wrong place.

I Tested 16 AI Video Generators for Storytelling. Here's My 2026 Ranking

Sep 6, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
AI video gets much harder the moment you ask it to tell a story. A single beautiful shot can hide a lot of weaknesses. Narrative work exposes them: the character has to remain recognizable, actions need to happen in the right order, camera changes have to make sense, and the next clip should feel as if it belongs to the same world. That is why we are not ranking these tools by the prettiest demo. We care about how useful they are for building scenes, maintaining visual direction, working from references and turning multiple clips into something that feels intentional.

Who Signs the CMMC Affirmation for Your Company?

Sep 4, 2026 By Max Aulakh In Ignyte
CMMC is increasingly important for any company that is even tertiary to the Department of Defense and the defense industrial base. Prime contractors are prime targets, but even two, three, four, or more steps down the chain, CMMC may be mandatory. It's all about protecting information, after all. This means a lot of businesses are looking seriously at CMMC, and a lot of high-level executives are being asked to put their names on things they might not understand at a glance.

CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor Local Privilege Escalation Zero-Day (FalconFlank)

Sep 4, 2026 By Arctic Wolf Labs In Arctic Wolf
On September 3, 2026, a security researcher known as Nightmare Eclipse/Chaotic Eclipse publicly disclosed a zero-day dubbed ‘FalconFlank’ which abuses the Office malicious macro remediation workflow in CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor. The attack leverages a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition, allowing an attacker with code execution on a vulnerable system to hijack the Falcon macro remediation routine. This results in DLL side-loading and execution as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.

Identity Sprawl: Risks, Causes, and Best Practices for Enterprise Identity Management

Sep 4, 2026 By Saloni Walimbe In miniOrange
An employee leaves the company, but their SaaS account remains active. A contractor still has access to a project workspace months after the contract ends. Someone changes departments and keeps permissions from their previous role. Meanwhile, IT is managing identities, human and non-human across multiple directories, cloud platforms, SaaS applications, and third-party tools. Individually, these accounts may seem insignificant.
