Top Free Active Directory Management Tools

Sep 6, 2026 By Ian Andersen In Netwrix
Free Active Directory management tools handle lockouts, stale accounts, permissions reporting and bulk changes without a purchase order, and most teams already run several without having picked them deliberately. Each one stops somewhere specific. Knowing where the free editions end, and which gaps close only with a licensed product, decides how the next audit goes.

Prompt Injection in RAG: The Payload Is Still in Your Index

Sep 6, 2026 By Yossi Ben Naim In ARMO
Every action in your agent-incident runbook operates on the agent. The payload of a RAG prompt injection sits in the index. You can kill the pod, rotate the credential and revoke the session, and each of those stops this workload from doing that thing again. None of them touch the chunk that caused it.

Prompt Injection Through Tool Output Is Two Events (Your Screens Read One)

Sep 6, 2026 By Ben Hirschberg In ARMO
Tool output is untrusted because your own systems produce it. That is the part of the OWASP guidance that never makes it into a deployment. The label goes on web pages and email bodies, where an outsider obviously wrote the text. It never goes on the ticket store, the CRM, or the repo, because those are yours. The attacker does not care whose system it is. He cares which field takes free text: the ticket body, the opportunity note, the PR description.

The Largest and Most Notorious Cyber Attacks in History

Sep 6, 2026 By Dirk Schrader In Netwrix
The most damaging cyber attacks in history rarely involved exotic techniques. A graduate student's experimental worm, a password with no second factor, and an unpatched file transfer tool each caused more damage than any advanced exploit on record. Reading four decades of these incidents in order shows how consistently intruders take the simplest available route, and how little that route has changed since 1988.

I Tested 16 AI Video Generators for Storytelling. Here's My 2026 Ranking

Sep 6, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
AI video gets much harder the moment you ask it to tell a story. A single beautiful shot can hide a lot of weaknesses. Narrative work exposes them: the character has to remain recognizable, actions need to happen in the right order, camera changes have to make sense, and the next clip should feel as if it belongs to the same world. That is why we are not ranking these tools by the prettiest demo. We care about how useful they are for building scenes, maintaining visual direction, working from references and turning multiple clips into something that feels intentional.

Where Does Session Replay Cross the Line?

Where Does Session Replay Cross the Line?

Sep 6, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
Session replay has quietly become default infrastructure. Product teams want to see where users stall, support wants to stop asking "can you send a screenshot," and engineering wants a reproduction path for the bug that only happens on one customer's machine. The business case writes itself. The security review, in most organisations, never really happened. So when the question finally comes up - where does this stop being lawful? - most teams go looking for the answer in the wrong place.

Common Types of Network Devices and Their Functions

Sep 5, 2026 By Dirk Schrader In Netwrix
Network devices, including routers, switches, firewalls, and more, form the infrastructure that determines how data moves through a network and where security controls apply. Each type carries its own function and risk, from repeaters and switches that move traffic to firewalls and IDPS appliances that defend it. Getting the OSI layer and security implications of each device right is the foundation for a defensible network.

A New Compliance Discipline: Key Insights from Building the Kroll Cyber Resilience Act Framework

Sep 4, 2026 By Kroll In Kroll
From September 11, 2026, any manufacturer, importer or distributor of hardware and software products with digital elements made available on the EU market must comply with the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). The harmonized standards under the CRA are still being drafted, and the first will not be finalized before manufacturers need to act.

Anatomy of a Cyber Incident: Why Recovery Fails When Personas Aren't Aligned

Sep 4, 2026 By Kroll In Kroll
Despite their complexities, cyber incidents often start in a very similar manner. There is a helpdesk ticket that appears routine, a slightly unusual login attempt or a system that might just need a restart. By the time an organization formally declares an incident, the attacker has likely already been inside for hours, sometimes longer, moving quietly through cloud platforms, SaaS applications and identity systems long before anyone notices the warning signs.

Falcon Flank: Public Privilege-Escalation Claim Against CrowdStrike Falcon

Sep 4, 2026 By Foresiet In Foresiet
What security teams need to know about an unverified local elevation-of-privilege proof of concept published against Falcon Sensor, and how to respond without overreacting. On 3 September 2026, an independent researcher publishing as MSNightmare / Chaotic Eclipse / Nightmare Eclipse released a public GitHub repository named FalconFlank. The project is described as a local privilege-escalation proof of concept against CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor on Windows.
