VPNs were once the cornerstone of secure remote access. Today, they've become one of the easiest ways for attackers to slip inside your network. Outdated VPN tunnels facilitate credential theft, lateral movement, and data exfiltration, leaving IT teams confused and businesses vulnerable. In this session, WatchGuard experts will uncover the hidden risks of SSL VPNs and explain how a zero trust approach can eliminate those weaknesses. Learn how to deliver faster, safer, and simpler access for every user, without the overhead and risk of remote user VPNs.

In this WatchGuard Support video, you'll learn how to activate and renew WatchGuard licenses.

Adam Winston breaks down how attackers, including the Royal Ransomware Group, are moving below the endpoint to hit hypervisors and core infrastructure. It’s a blind spot too many overlook.

PCI DSS 4.0 represents a significant change in how organizations and service providers approach compliance. It is more than an update to requirements. It is a philosophical shift that emphasizes continuous, risk-based security instead of point-in-time validation. In this joint session, LimaCharlie, ControlCase, and author Branden R. Williams explore how to navigate this new era of PCI compliance. Branden explains what has changed in PCI DSS 4.0, why those changes were made, and how they reflect a new mindset toward continuous assurance and flexibility.

The AI arms race in deepfake detection has a critical problem: the technology can't keep up. In this episode, Navroop Mitter, CEO of ArmorText, discusses why the industry is shifting away from relying on AI detection alone. A recent study from SKKU in South Korea found that zero out of sixteen top deepfake detection technologies could reliably identify deepfakes in real-world conditions. They worked fine in controlled lab settings, but failed when it mattered most.

On this episode of The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast we speak with Navroop Mitter, CEO of ArmorText, about the role of Out-of-Band (OOB) communication in cyber incident response. Navroop Mitter is the CEO of ArmorText, a mobile security and privacy company based in the Washington, D.C. area.
