The Largest and Most Notorious Cyber Attacks in History

Sep 6, 2026 By Dirk Schrader In Netwrix
The most damaging cyber attacks in history rarely involved exotic techniques. A graduate student's experimental worm, a password with no second factor, and an unpatched file transfer tool each caused more damage than any advanced exploit on record. Reading four decades of these incidents in order shows how consistently intruders take the simplest available route, and how little that route has changed since 1988.

Prompt Injection Through Tool Output Is Two Events (Your Screens Read One)

Sep 6, 2026 By Ben Hirschberg In ARMO
Tool output is untrusted because your own systems produce it. That is the part of the OWASP guidance that never makes it into a deployment. The label goes on web pages and email bodies, where an outsider obviously wrote the text. It never goes on the ticket store, the CRM, or the repo, because those are yours. The attacker does not care whose system it is. He cares which field takes free text: the ticket body, the opportunity note, the PR description.

Prompt Injection in RAG: The Payload Is Still in Your Index

Sep 6, 2026 By Yossi Ben Naim In ARMO
Every action in your agent-incident runbook operates on the agent. The payload of a RAG prompt injection sits in the index. You can kill the pod, rotate the credential and revoke the session, and each of those stops this workload from doing that thing again. None of them touch the chunk that caused it.

Top Free Active Directory Management Tools

Sep 6, 2026 By Ian Andersen In Netwrix
Free Active Directory management tools handle lockouts, stale accounts, permissions reporting and bulk changes without a purchase order, and most teams already run several without having picked them deliberately. Each one stops somewhere specific. Knowing where the free editions end, and which gaps close only with a licensed product, decides how the next audit goes.

Ultimate Guide to Group Policy Management in Active Directory

Sep 6, 2026 By Russell Smith In Netwrix
Group policy management determines whether a domain enforces consistent security settings or drifts into configuration chaos one unaudited change at a time. Creating, linking, filtering, enforcing, delegating and backing up policy objects are the daily mechanics, while inheritance and precedence decide which setting wins when two conflict. Permissions on those objects turn misconfiguration into an attack path.

Where Does Session Replay Cross the Line?

Where Does Session Replay Cross the Line?

Sep 6, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
Session replay has quietly become default infrastructure. Product teams want to see where users stall, support wants to stop asking "can you send a screenshot," and engineering wants a reproduction path for the bug that only happens on one customer's machine. The business case writes itself. The security review, in most organisations, never really happened. So when the question finally comes up - where does this stop being lawful? - most teams go looking for the answer in the wrong place.

I Tested 16 AI Video Generators for Storytelling. Here's My 2026 Ranking

Sep 6, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
AI video gets much harder the moment you ask it to tell a story. A single beautiful shot can hide a lot of weaknesses. Narrative work exposes them: the character has to remain recognizable, actions need to happen in the right order, camera changes have to make sense, and the next clip should feel as if it belongs to the same world. That is why we are not ranking these tools by the prettiest demo. We care about how useful they are for building scenes, maintaining visual direction, working from references and turning multiple clips into something that feels intentional.

Common Types of Network Devices and Their Functions

Sep 5, 2026 By Dirk Schrader In Netwrix
Network devices, including routers, switches, firewalls, and more, form the infrastructure that determines how data moves through a network and where security controls apply. Each type carries its own function and risk, from repeaters and switches that move traffic to firewalls and IDPS appliances that defend it. Getting the OSI layer and security implications of each device right is the foundation for a defensible network.

Who Signs the CMMC Affirmation for Your Company?

Sep 4, 2026 By Max Aulakh In Ignyte
CMMC is increasingly important for any company that is even tertiary to the Department of Defense and the defense industrial base. Prime contractors are prime targets, but even two, three, four, or more steps down the chain, CMMC may be mandatory. It's all about protecting information, after all. This means a lot of businesses are looking seriously at CMMC, and a lot of high-level executives are being asked to put their names on things they might not understand at a glance.

CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor Local Privilege Escalation Zero-Day (FalconFlank)

Sep 4, 2026 By Arctic Wolf Labs In Arctic Wolf
On September 3, 2026, a security researcher known as Nightmare Eclipse/Chaotic Eclipse publicly disclosed a zero-day dubbed ‘FalconFlank’ which abuses the Office malicious macro remediation workflow in CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor. The attack leverages a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition, allowing an attacker with code execution on a vulnerable system to hijack the Falcon macro remediation routine. This results in DLL side-loading and execution as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.
