Lightboard Lab: Closing the Valley of Visibility in Network Vulnerability Assessment

Apr 13, 2026 By CrowdStrike In CrowdStrike
Network Vulnerability Assessment is often treated as a point-in-time exercise—but real environments don’t stand still. Between long scan cycles, two things are constantly changing: network devices drift as configurations and versions evolve, and the world around them shifts as new vulnerabilities are disclosed.

The firewall appliance is part of the problem. The legacy stack is all of it.

Apr 13, 2026 By Angie Oaks In Cato Networks
When static perimeters were a thing, networking and security vendors sold organizations products to fix an IT need or problem. That fix would expose a gap somewhere else, so the market named the gap, built a category around it, and organizations were sold another product to plug it. That model didn’t age well as environments changed.

Episode 12 - The Agentic SOC: Upleveling Analysts with AI Knowledge Multipliers

Apr 9, 2026 By Corelight In Corelight
Richard Bejtlich sits down with Stan Kiefer, Corelight’s Senior Manager for Data Science, to discuss how AI serves as a vital "abstraction layer" and "knowledge multiplier" for security analysts. Stan explains that while AI can synthesize complex information, it remains untrustworthy without high-fidelity network data at its center to provide verifiable evidence. The episode explores the shift toward an "agentic ecosystem" and a tiered architecture where a central orchestrator manages specialized sub-agents to accelerate detection and investigation.

Zero Trust for the East/West Battleground

Apr 9, 2026 By Jason Wright In Cato Networks
Most major breaches do not spiral out of control because attackers get in. They spiral because attackers are free to move once they are inside. After gaining an initial foothold through compromised credentials, a misconfigured cloud workload, a remote device, or a third-party connection, sophisticated attackers pivot. They scan the network, escalate privileges, and move laterally across the LAN and datacenter until they reach critical systems.

Discover Your Network's Blind Spots Before It's Too Late

Apr 7, 2026 By Andrew Kerr In WatchGuard
Advanced threats rarely break into infrastructure in obvious ways. In many cases, they remain hidden for months, exploiting blind spots created by unmanaged personal devices (BYOD), applications adopted without the IT department’s oversight (shadow IT), unauthorized access points, or compromised devices operating as part of botnets. As networks evolve into hybrid environments and most traffic is encrypted, the context becomes fragmented and the attack surface expands.

Q1 at AlgoSec: What innovations and milestones defined our start to 2026?

Apr 6, 2026 By Adel Osta Dadan In AlgoSec
As we close out the first quarter of 2026, I find myself reflecting on a start to the year that was defined by product momentum, stronger market validation, growing trust from regulated organizations, and meaningful industry recognition. In just three months, AlgoSec introduced important platform enhancements, published fresh research on where network security is heading, strengthened its standing with government and highly regulated customers, and closed the quarter with three major awards.

How Forward Helps You Respond to CISA Emergency Directive 26-03

Apr 6, 2026 By Forward Networks In Forward Networks
CISA issued Emergency Directive 26-03 in response to active exploitation of vulnerabilities in Cisco SD-WAN management systems, specifically Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager and SD-WAN Controller platforms. The vulnerabilities include an authentication bypass flaw (CVE-2026-20127) that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to gain administrative privileges and manipulate network configuration, and a path traversal vulnerability (CVE-2022-20775) that enables local privilege escalation to root.
