Service accounts are nonhuman privileged accounts used by systems or applications to perform certain tasks, access resources or run processes. These accounts are typically given only the permissions they need for a specific job. According to ReliaQuest, 85% of data breaches between January 2024 and July 2024 that organizations responded to involved compromised service accounts. To prevent the misuse of credentials, organizations should secure their service accounts.

When organizations adopt remote work, they face increased cybersecurity risks. Privileged Access Management (PAM) helps mitigate these risks by reducing the attack surface, minimizing insider threats, and providing enhanced visibility and monitoring capabilities. Continue reading to learn the cybersecurity risks unique to remote work environments and how PAM helps address them.

Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASBs) are essential tools for many enterprises, acting as intermediaries between users and cloud services to provide visibility, enforce security policies, and ensure compliance. While CASBs excel at managing traditional SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) applications, they fall short when it comes to detecting and managing the use of AI tools within an organization.

If you read the newest risk-based vulnerability management literature, it appears we have a new favorite punching bag: the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). You seemingly can’t throw a rock into the “vuln-o-sphere” without hitting someone dunking on CVSS or the National Vulnerability Database (NVD). The argument goes something like this: “Exploitation rates are up, ransomware is surging, and vulnerabilities are multiplying like rabbits.

The Greek philosopher Aristotle once remarked, “Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution.” When you’re winning, the thrill is undeniable. Success, whether in the casino or on the basketball court, requires focus and discipline. It’s a feeling like no other when everything finally clicks.

The energy sector is a cornerstone of national security, ensuring the delivery of critical infrastructure services and supporting transportation systems. Recognizing the importance of protecting this vital industry, Trustwave SpiderLabs has released the comprehensive 2025 Trustwave Risk Radar Report: Energy and Utilities Sector.

The energy sector plays a crucial role in national security by ensuring the delivery of essential infrastructure services and supporting transportation systems. Acknowledging the need to safeguard this vital industry, Trustwave SpiderLabs has published the highly detailed 2025 Trustwave Risk Radar Report: Energy and Utilities Sector. The primary report is joined by two specialized supporting pieces of research focusing on these critical areas of concern.

The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) introduces a much-needed framework for standardizing the cybersecurity practices of companies operating in the European Union (EU). The regulation sets clear expectations for hardware and software manufacturers, developers, and distributors, outlining how they should manage and address vulnerabilities at every stage of the product lifecycle.

When was the last time you checked DNS configurations for subdomains pointing at services not in use? According to Crowdsource ethical hacker Thomas Chauchefoin, while expired and forgotten subdomains can easily become an entry point for an attacker to steal sensitive data and launch phishing campaigns, having the right tool in place can keep them at bay.

As cyber attacks grow in sophistication, traditional security models become more vulnerable, prompting many organizations to adopt zero-trust security. The main difference between traditional and zero-trust security models is how they approach access control. Traditional security models assume trust for users inside their networks, whereas zero-trust security verifies every user and device by default, requiring continuous authentication.
