The recent cyberattack on Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), which forced factory closures and disrupted production, is another reminder of how vulnerable connected industries have become. Modern automotive and manufacturing operations rely on networks of connected devices, from robotic arms on the production line to electronic control units (ECUs) inside vehicles. When security breaks down, the consequences quickly ripple across operations, supply chains, and customers.

Today, we are announcing a new approach to catching bots: using models to provide behavioral anomaly detection unique to each bot management customer and stop sophisticated bot attacks.

For years, ransomware gangs have thrived by holding businesses hostage, forcing a terrible choice: pay up or watch your systems collapse. That era is ending. After a summer of cyber chaos that hit everything from the NHS to Harrods, the UK government has drawn a red line: no more quiet payoffs, no more sweeping attacks under the rug.

Managing a cybersecurity program is hard, but also very meaningful, work. Continuously managing the cybersecurity posture of your organization’s supply chain vendors can at times feel near impossible, afterall ensuring the cybersecurity of your suppliers is an order of magnitude leap in difficulty. Yet, criminals are demonstrating that despite these difficulties, this task requires our immediate attention, given the trending success in exploiting our businesses' trusted relationships.

When Heathrow, Brussels, and Berlin airports suffered a cyber attack that disrupted their check-in and baggage systems, the fallout was immediate. Flights were canceled, queues stretched through terminals, and staff scrambled to switch to manual processes. For some of Europe’s busiest hubs, this was more than an inconvenience. It was a reminder that disruption, not data theft, is often the attacker’s goal.

BadUSB, Rubber Ducky, and Flipper Zero devices bypass traditional USB blocking by impersonating keyboards and executing commands at machine speed. Netwrix Endpoint Management combines Endpoint Protector’s device control with Policy Manager’s privilege enforcement to block rogue devices, remove unnecessary admin rights, and contain lateral movement before it escalates.

The Shai‑Hulud worm and the Nx / S1ngularity attacks show how token‑stealing malware, vulnerable workflows, and always‑on elevated permissions allow cascading compromise. Enforcing JIT access on repository, organization owner/admin roles, and team‑based inherited permissions sharply reduces exposure, limits damage, and strengthens audit/compliance posture.
