Anatomy of a Cyber Incident: Why Recovery Fails When Personas Aren't Aligned

Sep 4, 2026 By Kroll In Kroll
Despite their complexities, cyber incidents often start in a very similar manner. There is a helpdesk ticket that appears routine, a slightly unusual login attempt or a system that might just need a restart. By the time an organization formally declares an incident, the attacker has likely already been inside for hours, sometimes longer, moving quietly through cloud platforms, SaaS applications and identity systems long before anyone notices the warning signs.

Seagate Storage Built for Scale

Seagate Storage Built for Scale

Sep 4, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
A storage expansion often looks simple on a spreadsheet. The organisation needs more capacity, so the infrastructure team adds drives, another enclosure or another rack and moves on. The difficulty is that each expansion carries more with it than raw terabytes. More hardware can mean more power, more cooling, more cabling, more floor space and more equipment to manage later. That is why "more storage" and "storage that scales well" are not the same thing.

This is where Privileged Account and Session Management (PASM) becomes essential.

How Conditional Access Protects Microsoft 365 Apps From Unmanaged Devices

Sep 3, 2026 By Chaitali Avadhani In miniOrange
Your sales representative logged into Outlook from a coffee shop laptop that isn't enrolled, isn't encrypted, and hasn't seen a security patch in eight months. Should Microsoft 365 let that sign-in through just because the password was correct? That single question is why conditional access exists. Passwords tell you who someone claims to be. They say nothing about whether the device behind that login is safe to trust with your company's email, SharePoint files, or Teams chats.
