Microsoft 365 posture gaps are attack paths MSPs need to close now

Author: Umair Ahmed, Product Marketing Manager, Security Microsoft 365 attacks do not always start with a dramatic zero-day. Many begin with something simpler: a stolen password, a malicious Office file, a user approving the wrong application, or a tenant setting that was left too permissive. For an MSP technician, the urgent question is: Even if Microsoft patched the vulnerabilities inside the platform, are my tenant configurations still exposing my clients to risk?

Your Backups Know More Than You Think

You may not be aware of how valuable your backups are: they can contain extremely valuable information that leaves a record of what your other security tools may have missed. This is just one of the many interesting tidbits Kyle Fiehler provided on his recent episode of Data Security Decoded. Kyle also explains how threat actors exploit backup blind spots, why identity and recovery are now prime attack surfaces, and how security leaders can rethink MTTR.

Top 12 DevOps Security Tools to Protect Your SDLC in 2026

If your team is pushing code faster than ever, baking security right into your DevOps workflows isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s an absolute necessity. When your CI/CD pipeline is properly secured, you can identify and address security gaps early on, minimizing risks before they escalate. However, with the DevSecOps market expected to reach USD 26.21 billion by 2032, the abundance of available DevOps security tools can make it feel overwhelming to find the right one.

What Physical AI and the digitalization of critical infrastructure mean for OT security

AI-enabled systems are becoming more common in operational technology (OT) environments. What many industry analysts call “Physical AI” refers to AI systems embedded in physical environments — such as industrial cameras, robots and edge systems — that can perceive, interpret and act on real-world conditions. In industrial settings, this includes machine vision systems, predictive maintenance models, robotics optimization and edge analytics operating close to production assets.

The Mythos moment: Why agentic AI changes cybersecurity, but not in the way many think

Anthropic’s announcement of Claude Mythos Preview may end up being remembered as the moment the cybersecurity industry had to stop talking about agentic AI as a future concept and start treating it as a present security variable. The reported results are serious. Anthropic says Mythos Preview identified and exploited zero-day vulnerabilities across major operating systems and browsers during testing.

Data Sovereignty vs. Data Residency: Key Differences Explained

Storing data in a specific country doesn’t automatically mean that that country’s laws are the only ones that apply. This disconnect catches a lot of organizations off guard, and it’s exactly where the confusion between data sovereignty vs. data residency begins. One is about where your data physically lives. The other is about which laws govern it, regardless of location.

Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud certified in AV-TEST Advanced Threat Protection for Windows

Modern cyberattacks rarely arrive in a simple, obvious form. Attackers hide malicious code inside files that look legitimate, chain multiple tactics together and use techniques designed to bypass traditional endpoint defenses. For businesses, that makes independent security testing especially valuable.

GitProtect Report: DevOps Incidents Rise by 21%, While Impact Hours Double to 9,255

With 607 recorded incidents, DevOps platforms experienced a 21% year-over-year increase, while total disruption time nearly doubled to 9,255 hours in 2025. This marks a clear rise in both the frequency and severity of outages compared to the previous year, according to the latest GitProtect Report.

Longhorn on Production Clusters: Storage Configuration, Tuning, and Gotchas

Longhorn is a lightweight, distributed block storage system built specifically for Kubernetes. It runs entirely inside your cluster, turning local disks on worker nodes into replicated persistent volumes with no external storage array required. That simplicity is what makes it appealing, especially in the Rancher and SUSE ecosystem where it ships as the default storage option. You get persistent storage that is easy to install, easy to understand, and tightly integrated with the Kubernetes lifecycle.

SMB vs NFS Protocols: An In-Depth Comparison

Sharing files between computers and users helps communicate and exchange data more efficiently and conveniently. You can share files over the network in different ways, for example, using SMB or NFS protocol on servers and computers. NAS (network-attached storage) devices are also used to share files via SMB and NFS. Read the NFS vs SMB comparison to understand what to use in your case and which protocol to choose.
