Following the recent cyberattack on Endesa, one of Spain’s largest electricity and gas providers, Outpost24’s threat intelligence team has compiled a comprehensive analysis of the incident based on publicly available evidence from underground forums, leaked dataset listings, and the threat actor’s own statements.

The VMware virtual machine disks consolidation is needed error usually appears when snapshots fail to merge correctly with the main virtual disk. This problem often occurs after incomplete backups, canceled snapshot deletions, or low storage space. Left unresolved, it can slow down your VM or even risk data corruption. Read this blog to learn why the virtual machine consolidation needed status occurs and how to resolve it safely.

Today, we’re excited to share that Cloudflare has acquired Human Native, a UK-based AI data marketplace specializing in transforming multimedia content into searchable and useful data.

Attackers are increasingly abusing network misconfigurations to send spoofed phishing emails, according to researchers at Microsoft. This technique isn’t new, but Microsoft has observed a surge in these attacks since May 2025. “Phishing actors are exploiting complex routing scenarios and misconfigured spoof protections to effectively spoof organizations’ domains and deliver phishing emails that appear, superficially, to have been sent internally,” the researchers write.

As we step into 2026, Bitsight researchers are closely watching key developments across the cyber risk landscape. Their insights reveal a dynamic tension between rising threats and new opportunities to strengthen defenses. Here's what they predict for the year ahead, and what security teams should be prepared to navigate.

As per Verizon’s 2025 DBIR, system intrusion, social engineering, and web application attacks form: This makes web applications one of the most common and important egress points into your business systems and customer data, and that’s why even a single undetected vulnerability here can cascade into revenue-devouring breaches, hefty compliance violations, and reputational damage that may as well take years to repair.

In the last few years, many of the largest data exposures haven’t come from broken pages or leaked databases. They’ve come from APIs. Public reports around large-scale scraping incidents at companies like Meta and LinkedIn showed how exposed APIs, not traditional web flaws, were used to pull massive volumes of user data at scale. This isn’t an edge case anymore. APIs now sit at the center of how enterprises move data between applications, partners, and customers.

What is ADR (Application Detection & Response)? A security tool that monitors application-layer behavior—API calls, function execution, code paths—to detect and respond to threats in real-time. Different from EDR (endpoint-focused) or CDR (cloud infrastructure-focused), ADR sees what’s happening inside your applications. Why do most ADR solutions fail? They only see one layer.

What is a cloud workload protection platform (CWPP)? Security for the workloads actually running in your cloud—VMs, containers, and serverless functions doing real work. Unlike posture management (CSPM) that checks configurations, CWPPs monitor processes, network connections, and application behavior to catch threats as they happen. What’s the difference between CSPM, CWPP, CNAPP, and CADR? CSPM scans cloud settings for misconfigurations. CWPP protects running workloads.

The best security combines configuration controls (TLS, headers, network policies, pod security) with runtime behavioral monitoring that detects anomalies your configuration can’t see. Configuration creates the baseline—it defines what should happen. Runtime protection catches what gets through—it shows what is happening. You need both, but most teams only have the first.
