The End of the VPN: The Rise of Identity-Based Secure Access

Hundreds of MSPs joined our last webinar to discuss the growing security and operational challenges of remote-user VPNs. Since then, the headlines have only reinforced the problem. Fortinet. Ivanti. Palo Alto Networks. SonicWall. Different vendors, same challenge: critical vulnerabilities, credential theft, and ransomware attacks continue to target remote access infrastructure, forcing organizations into a cycle of emergency patching, user disruption, and increased risk.

Access to Your Systems No Longer Has Borders: Take Control of Who Gets In

It's 4 p.m. and a client calls. It's an employee's last day, and you need to make sure they no longer have access to company environments, applications, systems, sensitive information—or even the corporate laptop.

Gen. AI used to mislead victims in fraud campaigns

It is almost impossible to trust the source of an image or video anymore. On The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, Tamas Kadar, CEO and Co-Founder of SEON, explains how generative AI has reshaped what fraudsters can pull off. Setting up sophisticated fraud operations no longer requires coding skills, and synthetic identities and deepfake documents have become convincing enough that visual verification alone is no longer reliable.
