Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

Most security teams have a firewall policy, a patch schedule, and a penetration testing calendar. DDoS resilience is often the exception, tested once, checked off, and forgotten until an actual attack exposes the gap. That's a real problem. Distributed denial-of-service threats aren't static, and neither is your infrastructure; the right answer to how often organizations should test depends on several variables, and the baseline is probably more frequent than you'd guess.

Cyber risk has become a dominant priority for organisations across nearly every sector. As the severity and velocity of the threat landscape and technological change continue to accelerate, organisations are under increasing pressure to ensure they can keep pace and recover quickly in the aftermath of a cyber event. A core focus for many organisations is strengthening their incident response capability: how effectively the business can react and recover when an attack occurs.

The company is building a new Exploit Path Verification (EPV) capability that will tell security teams which vulnerabilities an attacker can reach in their environment, turning long exposure lists into evidence-backed priorities.

Good enterprise risk management software gives you one place to record and score every risk, keeps that record current by watching your controls instead of waiting for a quarterly review, maps risks to the frameworks you report against, connects to the tools your teams already use, and turns all of it into dashboards your executives and board will read. The hard part is telling which products do those things well and which just store risks in a nicer grid. Below are the features that matter, a scorecard to weigh them, and four tools worth a look.

As regulators tighten expectations and cyber attacks increasingly exploit supply chains, organisations must shift from periodic vendor assessments to continuous third-party cyber resilience. For years, third-party cyber risk management focused primarily on vendor due diligence and annual security assessments. The objective was simple: determine whether a supplier met an acceptable level of security at a specific point in time.

The best digital risk protection platforms in 2026 are CloudSEK XVigil, ZeroFox, Recorded Future, Flashpoint, Check Point External Risk Management, Group-IB, and ReliaQuest GreyMatter DRP. They separate less on what they detect, since every vendor scrapes the same forums, than on whether they validate a finding, remove it, and connect it to an attack path. No two are strong at the same jobs.

Twelve months of production telemetry reveal the scale, causes and security impact of configuration drift, pointing to firewall and EDR tool risk.
