Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

A staging site is meant to last a week, but six months later, it still resolves on a company subdomain, runs an old framework, and has no clear owner. The asset never made it into the central inventory, which means that it also missed the normal cycle of testing, patching, and retirement. That is how many Shadow IT Security problems develop. The original shortcut may have been reasonable, but the risk grows when temporary infrastructure becomes part of the permanent attack surface without anyone noticing.

We’ve been listening to dozens of CISOs. In roundtables, peer forums, customer and prospect calls, on the record, off the record, at event floors and dinners. And the same thing keeps coming up: the security program on paper and the one running in production are rarely the same. There’s a gap between security policy and reality.
