In 2025, global cybersecurity trends like the rise of Zero Trust, tightening data privacy and AI regulations and growing concerns over cloud security will only accelerate. Each of these evolving forces will also shift paradigms for the privileged access management (PAM) programs charged with safeguarding IT, cloud ops and third-party vendor users as they perform high-risk operations.

Ivanti has disclosed vulnerabilities affecting Ivanti Connect Secure (ICS), Ivanti Policy Secure (IPS) and Ivanti Neurons for Zero Trust Access (ZTA) Gateways. According to Ivanti, CVE-2025-0282 has been exploited on a limited number of ICS appliances. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation for Ivanti Policy Secure or ZTA Gateways. There is no indication that CVE-2025-0283 is actively exploited or chained.

In my previous blog post, (OpenShift Virtualization Backup and Restore with Trilio in AWS ROSA Baremetal ) I discussed how to protect VMs running in OpenShift Virtualization, specifically in AWS ROSA Baremetal environments. In this post, I want to focus on how you can recover a VM in less than 3 minutes. When it comes to recovery in Kubernetes environments, many of us feel relatively at ease, especially if the Persistent Volumes (PVs) are not particularly large.

Organizations today face a rapidly evolving threat landscape, and as they plan their cybersecurity strategy and budgets, many may struggle with a key question: If I’m conducting regular vulnerability scans, and patching the vulnerabilities I identify, do I really need penetration tests as well? The answer is yes. While vulnerability scanning plays a vital role in identifying risks and vulnerabilities, relying solely on it for security creates blind spots.

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification, version 2.0, is finally in effect, which means thousands of businesses that have roles in the Department of Defense supply line need to do the work to comply and pass their audits to receive certification. It’s inevitable that many of these businesses will fail their initial audits. The standards are high, the margin of error is narrow, and the timeline is tight.

Discover key IAM capabilities that simplify identity management, ensure secure access, and streamline user authentication processes.

The year 2025 will not be a revolutionary one, it will be evolutionary, with developments coming into effect that were necessitated by events and happenings in 2024, and solutions to address these events reaching maturity levels that allow an appropriate, comprehensive response. With threats like ransomware certain to continue, identity resilience is going to become more important in the year ahead and, as such, identity will become the critical component of security.

Seemplicity’s 2024 Year in Review report offers key insights into how organizations are navigating the challenges of vulnerability and exposure management. By analyzing data from over a billion customer findings across a wide range of industries, the report highlights the urgency of prioritizing vulnerabilities, streamlining workflows, and improving collaboration across teams.

The way we detect cyber threats has come a long way, but let’s be real—traditional methods have serious blind spots. Back in the day, we relied on correlation rules—basic if-this-then-that logic—to flag suspicious activity. It worked… sort of. But today, exponential data growth has limited the effectiveness of using only correlation rules to detect threats. The result?
