Stress-test your incident response plan with a tabletop exercise and no downtime
For small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), knowing who makes key decisions during a cyberattack is essential. A cybersecurity tabletop exercise helps teams identify responsibilities, test response procedures, and clarify escalation paths before an actual breach occurs. Through guided discussions rather than live system testing, businesses can improve their incident readiness without disrupting daily operations. Why […]
Deepfakes Gone Mainstream? What to know about impersonation attacks
A few weeks ago, IBM released its 2026 Cost of a Data Breach Report. The study found that 25% of malicious attacks were AI-driven, a 56% increase from last year. Of those, 45% were an AI deepfake or impersonation attack. Impersonation attacks are a type of social engineering where bad actors generate video, audio, images, […]
How to audit and manage browser extensions before they become a security problem
A browser extension with permission to read and change all your data on every website has roughly the same access to your activity as the browser itself. For individual users, that might be an acceptable tradeoff for a useful tool. For a business PC, it is an access level that deserves the same scrutiny as […]
What an IT security audit covers and why your business needs one
Most organizations know their cybersecurity needs attention; fewer know where it falls short. An IT security audit closes that gap. By systematically evaluating networks, devices, applications, and security controls, an audit produces a clear picture of where vulnerabilities exist, how well current defenses are performing, and what needs to change. For businesses handling sensitive data […]
Cybersecurity Myths That Put You at Risk
According to NIST’s current Digital Identity Guidelines, passwords are not, in fact, like underwear. For a time, cybersecurity leaders asserted that passwords should be kept private and changed regularly (hence the cheeky comparison). But then cloud apps exploded, we accumulated dozens of different online accounts, and ever-changing passwords became impractical to manage safely. So best practices […]
How to make threat intelligence platforms work for your business
Many organizations invest in threat intelligence platforms designed to collect and analyze threat data. But broad data, shallow integration, and disconnected workflows often prevent that intelligence from ever translating into action. Luckily, businesses can apply a few practical solutions to bridge this gap. Start with relevance, not volume The most common mistake organizations make with […]
Fileless malware: The threat your antivirus can’t always see
Most cybersecurity tools are built around a simple assumption: malicious software leaves files behind. Fileless malware is designed specifically to defeat that assumption. Rather than dropping a suspicious executable onto a hard drive, it operates entirely in memory, using your system’s own trusted tools against you, and leaving little to nothing for a traditional antivirus […]
Zero Trust: The Modern Security Paradigm
AI plays a strange dichotomy of roles in the cybersecurity arena. On one hand, cybercriminals are using AI to scale phishing attacks and deploy increasingly convincing deepfakes. Reports show that one in six breaches involved AI-driven tactics. At the same time, AI-powered threat detection and response has become widely accessible to small and mid-sized organizations. […]
Why identity is the new internal highway for cyberattacks
Organizations spend tens to hundreds of thousands fortifying their perimeters, but the biggest threats often originate from within. This article explores how saved passwords and autonomous AI agents can create hidden pathways for cybercriminals, bypassing traditional defenses and highlighting the need for a unified approach to mapping user access. The perimeter is an illusion Modern […]
