For years, backing up virtual machines has been a necessary evil — a dull, repetitive chore hidden deep inside IT maintenance schedules. It’s the sort of thing that keeps enterprise workloads safe but rarely excites anyone. You’d spin up VMs, configure snapshots, cross your fingers before a restore, and hope that your “incremental forever” backup didn’t quietly break somewhere along the way. But lately, something has started to shift.

Today, we are pleased to announce the launch of Corelight’s new AWS Flow Monitoring Sensor, a new addition to Corelight’s flow monitoring capabilities. This new sensor was purpose-built to address the longstanding visibility challenges that have frustrated security teams running their most critical workloads in AWS. AWS provides one of the world’s most popular cloud platforms, hosting applications and sensitive data for some of the largest organizations.

Privileged Access Management (PAM) is an essential part of modern enterprise security, helping organizations monitor and control privileged access to systems with sensitive information. As companies scale their infrastructure across on-premises, hybrid and cloud environments, selecting the right PAM solution can have a long-term impact on enforcing compliance and reducing security risks.

October is a season of pumpkins, haunted houses, and that neighbor who puts up twelve-foot skeletons way too early. But for those of us in financial services, October has another spooky significance: Cybersecurity Awareness Month. And unlike a cheap jump scare at the local haunted house, the threats we face in financial data management aren’t imaginary.

Trust isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s the foundation your organization is built on, fueling everything from customer loyalty to stronger partnerships and confident employees. But today, trust must be built across more digital channels than ever: websites, social platforms, app stores, and much more.

In a world where internet connectivity intersects with just about every facet of our physical world—from cameras and door locks to power grids and factory robots—cyber risk intelligence has moved well beyond just protecting the bits and bytes of logical IT ecosystems. Security and risk professionals also have to be on the lookout for and aware of improperly secured cyber physical devices, like IoT devices, which greatly expand the enterprise attack surface.

Adversaries have shifted their tactics away from traditional malware and toward approaches that exploit the very tools organizations rely on. Instead of introducing malicious files that can be blocked outright, attackers weaponize legitimate applications such as built-in Windows utilities, remote monitoring and management (RMM) tools, file transfer software, and administrative programs.

Today marks a significant milestone in the technology landscape. As of October 14, 2025, Microsoft has officially ended support for non-LTSC releases of Windows 10, concluding one of the most widely adopted operating systems in history. From this point forward, the operating system will no longer receive security updates or feature patches by default. While Microsoft offers Extended Security Updates (ESUs) for Windows 10 version 22H2, these are temporary and designed as a bridge solution.

Organizations continue their digital transformation, with APIs now serving as the main communication links between applications, platforms, services, and partners. The widespread use of APIs introduces new security risks despite their common presence. The growing number of APIs significantly increases the cyber risks that security teams must address as they keep up with technological advances.
