As organizations adopt hybrid and multi-cloud architectures, the attack surface quickly expands, often outpacing defender’s ability to see and stop threats. This growing complexity fuels risk — creating blind spots adversaries exploit through cloud misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and unpatched vulnerabilities. These conditions allow attackers to break in, move laterally, and gain higher levels of access.

DDoS Defense with up-to-the-minute network analysis has become crucial as these attacks have disrupted network security for almost 20 years. The landscape changed dramatically in 2018 when the first multi-terabyte per second DDoS attacks crippled major organizations. GitHub experienced a massive 1.3TB/s attack that year, which dwarfed the previous record – a 602GB/s attack on the BBC just two years earlier.

One of the most dangerous aspects of the dark web is that it provides like-minded threat actors a haven to gather, discuss, develop, and sell access to technology companies, which are often the first link in a supply chain attack. Alternatively, it's an environment where those looking to enter the world of cybercrime and initiate a third-party attack can buy the tools necessary to begin their operation.

Aflac, one of the largest American insurance companies, reported that cybercriminals breached its systems on June 20, 2025. Suspicious activity first occurred on Aflac’s U.S. network on June 12, and Aflac initiated its incident response plan to contain the spread of the cyber attack within several hours. At the time of this writing, Aflac’s investigation is still in the early stages, and the insurance giant hasn’t reported on how many of its customers were affected.

A new survey has found that 64% of C-Suite executives in cybersecurity or data center roles view data breaches and ransomware attacks as the top threat to companies over the next decade.

Cybersecurity firm Trellix uncovered a sophisticated spear-phishing operation in late May 2025 that exploited NetBird, a legitimate open-source remote access platform, to infiltrate organizations worldwide.

Cyberattacks on public infrastructure are no longer hypothetical. From ransomware disabling city services to foreign actors probing utility networks, the risks are real and rising. Among the most vulnerable targets are our public water systems. Often underfunded, technologically fragmented, and encumbered by legacy systems, water utilities are easy pickings for determined attackers.
