Key Takeaways Periodic audits provide a point-in-time assessment, but they cannot demonstrate whether controls remain effective between audit cycles. Qualys platform data shows 10.5 billion configuration findings across customer environments but only 1.6% represent meaningful exposure and under 1% are prioritized, business-critical findings. Verizon’s 2026 DBIR found the median time to resolve weak passwords and misconfigured permissions is about 8 months. Across 1 billion misconfiguration…

AI has already made fundamental changes to the operating environment for cybersecurity. Cyberattackers are testing more paths, adapting their techniques, and moving across digital environments with greater speed and persistence. The weaknesses they exploit remain familiar: excessive permissions, unprotected authentication flows, unpatched systems, exposed execution paths, and gaps between controls. What has changed is how quickly these weaknesses can combine into attack paths that cross…

Key Takeaways Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM) is the continuous risk and posture layer of the identity stack not a replacement for Identity and Access Management (IAM), Privileged Access Management (PAM), Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), or Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS), but the layer that continuously assesses the exposure those systems create. IAM authenticates and authorizes, PAM secures privileged access, IGA governs the identity lifecycle, and IDaaS delivers…

If your scan engine already holds credentials for a host, it can ask that host which ports are open instead of probing for them.Every scan begins with the same question: which ports on this host are open? Everything after it, from identifying services to checking for vulnerabilities to evaluating policy, depends on the answer being right. The traditional answer comes from the outside: the scan engine sends traffic to a range of ports and infers each port's state from how the host responds. That…

CERT Polska warns that attackers are actively exploiting a chain of critical MikroTik RouterOS flaws to seize control of routers exposed to the internet. Although the warning comes from Poland’s national cybersecurity response team, MikroTik routers are sold worldwide, including in the US.
