“The problem is much, much worse than most people acknowledge.” One of the biggest enduring mysteries for me in cybersecurity is why most cybersecurity curricula don’t teach secure coding to programmers. I have no real answers, only speculation.

“Managed WAF” often gets mistaken for a support contract or a few policy updates. In reality, it is an operational security service that should deliver measurable protection outcomes across onboarding, day-to-day monitoring, and incident response. This guide is vendor-agnostic. Use it to run a deeper evaluation, set clear expectations, and unlock the full value of a managed Web Application and API Protection program.

Trustwave, A LevelBlue Company, regularly writes about Managed Detection and Response (MDR) covering every aspect of our solution, the partners we work with, what industry analysts think, but sometimes it’s good to circle back and cover the basics. We’ll do that today breaking down what MDR is and why you need it. The number of threat actors and cyber threats are not likely to decrease any time soon, or even far down the road.

Data breach recovery has become a top priority for organizations in today’s digital world. Organizations must protect sensitive information that flows through networks, cloud environments, and endpoint devices. Data breaches, insider threats, and accidental leaks expose organizations to financial losses, compliance violations, and damage to their reputation.

A new critical vulnerability has been identified in FreePBX, the widely adopted open-source, web-based graphical user interface for managing Asterisk PBX systems. Tracked as CVE-2025-57819, this flaw affects FreePBX versions 15, 16, and 17 and enables unauthenticated attackers to bypass administrator login controls. Once inside, threat actors can perform SQL Injection attacks that lead directly to remote code execution (RCE).

Managed identities offer a paradigm shift from "what fo you have"to "who you are" authentication, providing automated, short-lived credentials that eliminate credential sprawl across multicloud environments.
