Managing today’s complex and distributed IT environments requires more than traditional monitoring tools. MSPs need intelligent and automated systems that can detect issues early, streamline service delivery, and strengthen security across every endpoint they manage. That is where AI RMM software becomes essential. By providing a centralized platform, AI RMM software enables managed service providers to monitor client endpoints and perform remote management efficiently.

Staying compliant is essential for protecting your organization from unexpected costs and reputational damage. As regulations grow more complex, businesses must ensure consistent adherence to security and data protection standards. With the rise of hybrid and remote work, solutions like Acronis Protected Workspace provide a secure, controlled environment designed to help organizations meet evolving compliance needs with confidence.

If your organization does business with the U.S. Department of Defense, or plans to, you need to know about a major change that just went into force. CMMC, or Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification, is the Department of Defense’s standard for ensuring contractors meet basic cybersecurity requirements. It was designed to protect sensitive government data across the entire defense supply chain. As of November 2025, CMMC is no longer optional.

Quantum computing sounds like something straight out of science fiction. It brings to mind images of impossibly powerful machines solving humanity’s biggest problems, from discovering new medicines to modeling climate change. That part is true.

How are defenders supposed to keep up when attackers move at the speed of AI? In this episode of Security Matters, host David Puner welcomes Rick McElroy, founder and CEO of Nexasure, for a candid conversation about cybersecurity’s breaking point. Together, they unpack the realities of defending organizations in an era of identity sprawl, machine risk, agentic AI, and relentless automation.

Security operations teams are under sustained pressure. Alert volumes continue to rise, environments grow more distributed, and experienced analysts remain scarce. Much of the industry conversation around AI focuses on autonomy and fully automated response. That focus skips the most reliable efficiency gains available right now.

Most teams assume that once an update is released, the old version quietly disappears. But mobile distribution doesn’t work that way. Some app stores delay syncing updates. Others keep older APKs accessible. Third-party sites mirror binaries and never refresh them. Certain regions continue serving outdated versions weeks after security fixes go live.

Researchers at Push Security have observed a new variant of the ClickFix attack that combines “OAuth consent phishing with a ClickFix-style user prompt that leads to account compromise.” The technique, which the researchers call “ConsentFix,” tricks victims into copying and pasting a localhost URL containing an authorization token, then pasting it into a phishing page.

Data security in 2025 was less about reacting to breaches and more about surviving in a world where data is everywhere, attackers are faster, and trust is fragile. While the core goal of protecting sensitive information hasn’t changed, how organizations approach security has evolved significantly.

Recent high-profile incidents, such as attacks in the retail sector or the closure of KNP following a devastating breach, have pushed cybersecurity onto the boardroom agenda. However, as it rises in visibility, a fundamental misunderstanding persists about how protection works. Responsibility for security is frequently concentrated on a few individuals.
