Penetration Testing Options Worth Knowing

Penetration Testing Options Worth Knowing

Aug 22, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
Penetration testing has turned into one of those services every business claims to offer, but the actual delivery varies wildly.

Attribute-Based Access Control: How ABAC Works, Examples and Use Cases

Aug 21, 2026 By Mariyam Jameela In Protecto
Access control has become significantly more complex as enterprises adopt cloud platforms, AI applications, and distributed workforces. A user’s identity alone is no longer enough to determine whether they should access sensitive data. Factors such as device posture, data sensitivity, location, and business context all influence the right decision. This shift is driving widespread adoption of attribute-based access control, a model that evaluates multiple attributes before granting access.

Aug 21, 2026 By Tomasz Malinowski In GitProtect
Organizations often assume their Microsoft 365 assets are fully protected by native backup tools. However, while Microsoft does offer advanced built-in backup and recovery features, relying solely on a native approach is not a substitute for an independent, enterprise-grade backup strategy.

Aug 21, 2026 By Iratxe Vazquez In WatchGuard
Artificial Intelligence has quickly become one of the most important conversations in cybersecurity. Much of that conversation focuses on what attackers might create next: AI-generated malware, deepfakes, autonomous attacks, or entirely new categories of threats. Those risks matter, but focusing only on new attack techniques misses a much larger transformation already taking place. The real impact of AI is not only what attackers can create. It is how efficiently they can operate.
