Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

When I got the assignment to attend KubeCon 1st of April I thought it was an April prank, but as the date got closer I realized—this is for real and I’ll be on the ground in London at the tenth anniversary of cloud native computing. I’ve seen a lot of tech events during my years in the industry while trying not to get replaced by AI and I have to say this one stands out!

Threat actors continue to exploit SMS using social engineering, Node.js misuse results in malware and malicious payload delivery, and fake PDF converters help deliver malware.

SC Media and SC Media Europe have each named Trustwave's Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solution as a finalist for the publication's Best Managed Security Service awards. The 2025 SC Awards were judged across 33 specialty categories by a distinguished panel of cybersecurity professionals, industry leaders, and CyberRisk Alliance CISO community members.

Law firms manage a vast amount of sensitive information, from merger deals and criminal evidence to intellectual property and personal data, making them prime targets for hackers and malicious insiders. Security breaches can lead to reputational losses, remediation costs, and penalties. That’s why strict IT requirements regulate cybersecurity for law firms.

In cybersecurity, speed has always been a big deal. How quickly can you detect an incident? How fast can you respond? But in the rush to act fast, many teams overlook what matters most. Are we actually solving the problem? Incident response is not just about being fast. It's about being effective. It's about making sure the threat is fully understood, resolved, and prevented from coming back.

As AI becomes deeply integrated into critical business operations and adopted by increasing numbers of departments and employees, the volume and sensitivity of data flowing into these systems has grown exponentially. Companies now face a dual challenge: harnessing AI's potential while managing the substantial data risks it introduces.

CrushFTP—a Java-based, multi-protocol file-transfer server—ships with an Amazon S3–compatible API.

As Change Your Password Day rolls around on 1st February, it’s a great opportunity to highlight the importance of secure password practices. While traditional advice has often encouraged frequent password changes, this approach has been reconsidered by cybersecurity experts, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Modern best practices now recommend focusing on creating strong, memorable passwords and using multi-factor authentication (MFA) to enhance security.

The increasing reliance on open-source software coupled with the accelerated pace of software development has created a growing need for support of deprecated packages. The significant majority of open-source software packages are not actively maintained, meaning vulnerabilities are not patched, thereby leaving systems open to attack. Malicious actors often target deprecated open-source packages for this very reason.

The standout themes at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025 in London strongly centered on how identity is rapidly becoming the linchpin for securing cloud-native infrastructure. The recurring theme I saw wasn’t just Kubernetes innovation—it was the rising urgency of securing the who behind every action across platforms, clusters, services, and tools.
