Most security teams aren't short of data. The harder problem is turning that data into intelligence they can act on. This guide sets out the seven criteria that separate an effective threat intelligence tool from another unused dashboard: dark web coverage, relevance, human analysis, speed, multi-audience outputs, integration and provider trust. It also covers the red flags to watch for during procurement and gives ten questions to ask every vendor.

Real-Time Data Replication: 5 Best Practices for Efficient Implementation

Oct 7, 2026 By NAKIVO Team In NAKIVO
Data replication is primarily used when service and data availability requirements are high. There are two types of replication – real-time replication or continuous replication and traditional replication, also called periodical or snapshot replication. Real-time replication has more advantages than traditional replication but consumes more resources. For this reason, it is better to follow data replication best practices to implement real-time VM replication for disaster recovery.

Oct 7, 2026 By Forward Networks In Forward
Your last firewall audit came back clean. Every rule documented, every exception justified, every box checked, exactly what PCI DSS and your other compliance frameworks and attestations require.

Oct 7, 2026 By SafeBreach In SafeBreach
ShinyHunters breached FBIJobs.gov, leaked personal data on roughly 5,000 Bureau personnel—including 14 staffers tied to China-focused counterintelligence—and triggered arrests in Amsterdam and Jordan. We separate what the FBI confirmed from what the crew claimed: the unverified Oracle PeopleSoft zero-day, the vishing and OAuth token abuse behind 140+ breaches, and why the arrests wound the brand but not the playbook.
