Five worthy reads is a regular column on five noteworthy items we have discovered while researching trending and timeless topics. In this week's edition, we will discuss how the concept of identity fabric has evolved and what it holds for the future. Securing digital identities is no longer a one-man show; it is everyone's game now.

Two primary trends are reshaping the healthcare industry: First, healthcare experiences a high number of mergers and acquisitions (M&As), with affiliates frequently joining and exiting as contracts evolve. Second, staff turnover remains persistently high, largely driven by burnout among healthcare practitioners.

In Part 1 and Part 2 of the cloud app control blog series, we saw how SinaraTech, a mid-sized ecommerce company, used access control to block risky apps and login control to weed out unauthorized access to legit applications. But the danger wasn't over yet. The Security SOC team had one final piece that was missing from the cloud app control puzzle. Let's continue down the road to find that piece.

SNMP has always been one of the quiet but crucial components of network management. It helps administrators monitor devices, automate configurations, and keep operations running smoothly. On Sept. 24, 2025, Cisco disclosed a high-severity vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-20352, affecting the SNMP implementation in its IOS and IOS XE software. This issue allows attackers with valid SNMP credentials to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code on the affected devices.

In today's complex IT environments, comprehensive log collection is crucial for effective auditing and security monitoring. Without this, endpoints, especially those that are VPN-joined, stay out of your reach while auditing. This was the bottleneck faced by our Log360 customer who recently availed OnboardPro, ManageEngine's professional services. They knew Log360 was capable of collecting logs from all their network devices—but what about the endpoints that were connected remotely via VPN?

In Part 1 of the cloud app control series, we explored how SinaraTech, a mid-sized ecommerce company, implemented access control to help reduce shadow cloud app usage by blocking risky or redundant sites. But the story isn't over yet. The SOC team had more nuanced challenges to be addressed. Let's continue down the road to find answers to those challenges.

We’re proud to announce that ManageEngine has once again been recognized in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event Management (SIEM). To us, this marks another significant milestone in our journey to deliver a unified, intelligent, and accessible security analytics platform for organizations worldwide.

When it comes to managing cloud application usage in an organization, the challenges are anything but simple. On one side, users are constantly exposed to malicious links and risky apps. On the other, locking things down too tightly by broadly blocking access to services can cripple employee productivity. Ideally, you'd want a balance between security and productivity.
