Phishing, Privileges and Passwords: Why Identity Is Critical to Improving Cybersecurity Posture

By / Blog / , , ,

TLDR: Identity is crucial in cybersecurity; breaches at M&S and Co-op highlight vulnerabilities. Modern attacks exploit cloud and remote work. Protect identity through least privilege access, strong passwords, MFA, and active account management. Embrace Zero Trust and managed detection response for security.

Death to One-time Text Codes: Passkeys Are the New Hotness

By / Blog / , ,

Passkeys revolutionize MFA, phasing out vulnerable one-time passwords. Passkeys replace passwords with cryptographic key pairs for stronger authentication, preventing phishing attacks. Major platforms like Apple and Google support them, demonstrating high adoption rates among organizations. Passkeys improve sign-in success rates and reduce helpdesk incidents, yet usability challenges persist, especially across different operating systems. Ultimately, they represent a significant advancement in secure online identity verification.

CISOs Should Be Asking These Quantum Questions Today

By / Blog / ,

Quantum-inspired software is already being used in critical enterprise settings, often without security teams’ full awareness, because it integrates so smoothly with existing tools and workflows. Current cybersecurity frameworks and compliance processes fall short when dealing with quantum and post-quantum solutions, particularly as the risk of “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks grows—where encrypted data stolen today could be decrypted in the future using quantum computers. Organizations face three encryption approaches: maintaining current standards (with risk), adopting quantum-based encryption (still ultimately vulnerable), or implementing post-quantum cryptography (most robust). Industries such as defense and aerospace are early adopters, but mature quantum-specific security guidelines are lacking, leaving organizations with gaps until new playbooks are developed.

CISA Publishes Security Guidance for Using AI in OT

By / Blog / , ,

Global cybersecurity agencies released new guidance on safely deploying AI in operational technology systems, citing the high risks involved. OT is essential for critical infrastructure, and integrating AI can introduce risks such as model drift, safety bypasses, and process instability. Agencies urge thorough education on AI risks, a careful assessment of when to use AI, strong data controls, and transparent governance. Recommendations also emphasize the importance of monitoring and fail-safe processes, including human oversight. Experts note that while AI may enhance efficiency, its use in OT should be limited and highly disciplined, especially with high-risk models like large language models.

Threat Landscape Grows Increasingly Dangerous for Manufacturers

By / Blog /

Manufacturers remain the top target for cybercriminals in 2025, primarily due to security gaps, lack of expertise, and slow adoption of protective measures. Over half paid ransoms and faced high recovery costs, with ransomware attacks causing notable shutdowns and billions in losses. This year, exploited software vulnerabilities became the leading cause of breaches. The rise of AI and automation is boosting manufacturing efficiency but also increasing cybersecurity risks and creating new attack surfaces. Experts warn that the threat landscape will continue to worsen, especially as IT and OT environments merge and geopolitical issues persist.
