How to Hide the Status Bar and the Notification Bar on Android Devices?

Sep 4, 2026 By Chaitali Avadhani In miniOrange
Android devices are designed for flexibility. Employees can check notifications, adjust connectivity, open settings, and move between apps with a few taps. That flexibility works well for personal use, but it can introduce distractions, security gaps, and usability issues when a device is dedicated to business tasks.

Identity Sprawl: Risks, Causes, and Best Practices for Enterprise Identity Management

Sep 4, 2026 By Saloni Walimbe In miniOrange
An employee leaves the company, but their SaaS account remains active. A contractor still has access to a project workspace months after the contract ends. Someone changes departments and keeps permissions from their previous role. Meanwhile, IT is managing identities, human and non-human across multiple directories, cloud platforms, SaaS applications, and third-party tools. Individually, these accounts may seem insignificant.

CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor Local Privilege Escalation Zero-Day (FalconFlank)

Sep 4, 2026 By Arctic Wolf Labs In Arctic Wolf
On September 3, 2026, a security researcher known as Nightmare Eclipse/Chaotic Eclipse publicly disclosed a zero-day dubbed ‘FalconFlank’ which abuses the Office malicious macro remediation workflow in CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor. The attack leverages a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition, allowing an attacker with code execution on a vulnerable system to hijack the Falcon macro remediation routine. This results in DLL side-loading and execution as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.

Who Signs the CMMC Affirmation for Your Company?

Sep 4, 2026 By Max Aulakh In Ignyte
CMMC is increasingly important for any company that is even tertiary to the Department of Defense and the defense industrial base. Prime contractors are prime targets, but even two, three, four, or more steps down the chain, CMMC may be mandatory. It's all about protecting information, after all. This means a lot of businesses are looking seriously at CMMC, and a lot of high-level executives are being asked to put their names on things they might not understand at a glance.

Seagate Storage Built for Scale

Seagate Storage Built for Scale

Sep 4, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
A storage expansion often looks simple on a spreadsheet. The organisation needs more capacity, so the infrastructure team adds drives, another enclosure or another rack and moves on. The difficulty is that each expansion carries more with it than raw terabytes. More hardware can mean more power, more cooling, more cabling, more floor space and more equipment to manage later. That is why "more storage" and "storage that scales well" are not the same thing.

Best Hypervisors in UAE for Enterprise Virtualization

Sep 4, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
Selecting a hypervisor in the UAE is no longer just a technical infrastructure decision. For many enterprises, it now affects licensing predictability, data management, operational resilience, security, and access to regional support. As organizations continue their digital transformation initiatives, infrastructure teams are also reassessing long-standing virtualization platforms. Changes in VMware licensing and ownership have encouraged many enterprises to explore VMware Alternatives and plan potential VMware Migration strategies.

Why Annual Third-Party Cyber Risk Assessments Are No Longer Enough

Why Annual Third-Party Cyber Risk Assessments Are No Longer Enough

Sep 3, 2026 By Tom Moore, Director of Forensics In BlueVoyant
As regulators tighten expectations and cyber attacks increasingly exploit supply chains, organisations must shift from periodic vendor assessments to continuous third-party cyber resilience. For years, third-party cyber risk management focused primarily on vendor due diligence and annual security assessments. The objective was simple: determine whether a supplier met an acceptable level of security at a specific point in time.

Response Options Combats "Patch or Wait" in the Age of Frontier AI

Sep 3, 2026 By Megan Horner In Seemplicity
When a vulnerability is urgent but the full fix isn’t immediately safe to deploy, security teams need another way to reduce risk fast. Seemplicity’s Response Options uses AI to identify and rank multiple ways to neutralize a threat – including patches, configuration changes, compensating controls, and network-level mitigations — based on risk reduction, effort, and operational impact.

The Active Directory Tiered Administration Model Explained

Sep 3, 2026 By Netwrix Team In Netwrix
The Active Directory tiered administration model blocks a common path from credential exposure on a compromised workstation to Domain Admin. It separates privileged accounts and systems by scope of control, then enforces logon boundaries so a privileged credential can authenticate only from an approved system. Dedicated accounts and hardened administrative workstations carry most of the weight. A domain admin signs in to a user's laptop to fix a printer problem.

AI Governance Framework: How to Build One That Works

Sep 3, 2026 By Netwrix Team In Netwrix
An AI governance framework proves itself the first time somebody asks for proof. The gap that sinks most programs sits under the policy, in the layer where nobody can say which identities reach sensitive data through an AI tool. Ownership, approval paths, control mapping, and live access visibility are what separate a working framework from a well-formatted document, and right now most organizations are missing at least one of the four. AI reaches most organizations through several doors at once.
