Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

For years, the annual penetration test or quarterly security scan served as the cornerstone of application risk assessments and application risk management. Teams would run the assessment, triage the findings, hand the report to developers, and wait for the next cycle. It felt like progress. It wasn’t.

If your team is pushing code faster than ever, baking security right into your DevOps workflows isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s an absolute necessity. When your CI/CD pipeline is properly secured, you can identify and address security gaps early on, minimizing risks before they escalate. However, with the DevSecOps market expected to reach USD 26.21 billion by 2032, the abundance of available DevOps security tools can make it feel overwhelming to find the right one.

In Part 1 of this series, we covered the hidden costs of migrating without cleanup, user bloat inflating your Cloud license bill, and sensitive data creating compliance exposure the moment it leaves your firewall. If you haven't read it yet, start there for the full picture of what's at stake financially and operationally. This post picks up where that one left off. You know cleanup matters.

Author: Umair Ahmed, Product Marketing Manager, Security Microsoft 365 attacks do not always start with a dramatic zero-day. Many begin with something simpler: a stolen password, a malicious Office file, a user approving the wrong application, or a tenant setting that was left too permissive. For an MSP technician, the urgent question is: Even if Microsoft patched the vulnerabilities inside the platform, are my tenant configurations still exposing my clients to risk?

You’ve set up a WordPress portal for your organization. It could be used for project updates, employee resources, or internal documentation. Everything works fine until you realize each employee now has one more username and password to remember just for WordPress. People forget their logins, reuse weak passwords, or share accounts to save time. IT ends up buried under reset requests, and security takes a hit.

New research shows Microsoft Edge loads all saved passwords into memory in plain text, and Keeper Forcefield is built to protect against exactly this kind of vulnerability. A security researcher recently published a working tool called EdgeSavedPasswordsDumper that extracts credentials stored in Edge directly from the browser’s parent process memory. There is no exploit needed, just sufficient system privileges.

The Anthropic Glasswing initiative brings together Amazon Web Services, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, JPMorganChase, the Linux Foundation, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Palo Alto Networks as launch partners. You can find a lot of posts and reactions on social media as it is definitely a big deal that Anthropic is keeping their Mythos Preview model out of general access.

For two decades, VMware was the default answer for virtualization. It worked, it was well supported, and the commercial terms were predictable enough that infrastructure strategy could largely ignore the underlying platform and focus on workloads. Broadcom’s acquisition ended that. Perpetual licences are gone. Product catalogues have collapsed from 168 offerings into four mandatory bundles. Per-core minimums have created fixed costs for capacity many organisations don’t use.

You already know the immense value of open-source Zeek. It provides the absolute gold standard of network evidence, giving you the deep visibility required to defend your organization. You have the right strategic foundation, but the operational workload of managing a do-it-yourself (DIY) deployment at scale is likely draining your energy.
