No One Ever Failed a Tabletop. That Is the Problem.

By / Blog / ,

Traditional tabletop exercises in cybersecurity often fail to prepare teams for real breaches because they are static, predictable, and lack real consequences or dynamic adversary responses. Reflex Security's AI-driven simulations create adaptive, high-pressure scenarios that test decision-making in real time, providing detailed, evidence-based after-action reports that better align with regulatory requirements and improve incident response readiness.

What Every CISO Should Consider Before a SIEM Migration

By / Blog / ,

Before migrating to a new SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) platform, CISOs must carefully plan to preserve crucial data such as entity behavioral data, policy enforcement logs, and compliance-related information, ensuring continuity and usability during and after the transition. Additionally, they should document and transfer custom detection rules, playbooks, and workflows embedded in the old system while being aware of potential unknown integrations or user groups to avoid disruptions and extra costs. This strategic approach helps maintain effective cybersecurity operations and minimizes risks throughout the SIEM migration process.

Vulnerability Exploitation Surges Often Precede Disclosure, Offering Possible Early Warnings

By / Blog / ,

A new GreyNoise report reveals that surges in the exploitation of software vulnerabilities often occur weeks before vendors publicly disclose the flaws, providing potential early warnings for organizations. The study found that nearly half of exploitation surges between December 2025 and March 2026 preceded vulnerability disclosures within three weeks, suggesting that timely threat intelligence on attack activity could enable companies to better prepare and protect their systems before vulnerabilities become widely known.

Cyber Enforcement – When an Incident Is Just the Tip of the Iceberg

By / Blog / , , , ,

The article explains that recent UK enforcement trends show cyber incidents often expose broader compliance failures, making the reported breach only the starting point for regulatory scrutiny. Regulators increasingly focus on security weaknesses, governance gaps, and data-handling practices across the organization, especially after cyberattacks. Fines have risen, and enforcement actions target private-sector companies with inadequate safeguards. The article concludes that organizations must treat cyber resilience, contractual risk allocation, and data protection controls as ongoing obligations because investigations can extend beyond the original incident to encompass broader operational and legal failings.
