Why doesn't point-in-time compliance work? #cybersecurity #compliance #podcast

Nov 26, 2025 By LimaCharlie In LimaCharlie
PCI compliance has never been about passing a single audit and forgetting about it until next year. In our recent PCI DSS 4.0 session, author Branden R. Williams explained why point-in-time assessments create a false sense of security. Passing a compliance report doesn't mean you'll still be compliant two days later if something changes.

Nov 20, 2025 By Chloe Potsklan, Senior Security Researcher In Reach Security
Black Friday and Cyber Monday always bring bargain buys as consumers hunt for deals to make the upcoming festive season special, but they are also a bonanza for cybercriminals. Attacks spike during the holiday season as cybercriminals take advantage of workers being out of their usual routine and less vigilant than normal. This makes for far from happy holidays for the businesses affected. However, what many organizations don't realize is that often they already have the tools to protect themselves in their security armory; they just haven't activated them.
