The MemcycoFM Show: Episode 6 - Pre-emptive Account Takeover Detection: A Five-Step Guide

Modern security leaders know that account takeover detection (ATO) isn’t just about spotting a bad login. ATO attacks are part of a broader scam lifecycle – starting with phishing or impersonation, escalating into credential harvesting, and ending with unauthorized access. To stop ATOs effectively, security teams need visibility into this full progression, not just the login attempt. That’s why a true ATO prevention strategy starts long before a password is entered.

Why RBAC Doesn't Work with AI Agents [And How to Fix It]

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a fundamental, critical part of security architecture that prevents data from falling into the wrong hands. In regular data-based environments (deployed on the cloud or on-premise), RBAC is an effective measure in preventing unauthorized access, with a few exceptions, like successful hacking attempts or breaches. However, this system breaks down once AI comes into the picture. Let’s understand why – and what you can do about it.

Practical Solutions to Safeguarding Oil & Gas Operations from Cyber Threats

If you work in oil and gas, you already know that digital systems are the backbone of day-to-day operations. From monitoring drilling equipment to running pipeline controls and managing remote sites, almost every process depends on some form of automation. However, with this shift comes an uncomfortable truth. You're more exposed to cyber threats than ever before.

The Coinbase Hack: Lessons for Businesses

The recent attack on Coinbase - one of the largest and most regulated crypto exchanges - is yet another reminder that custodial infrastructure is far from safe. In this article, the BitHide team explains what happened, why custodial platforms are insecure, and what solutions help businesses work with crypto confidentially.

The Hidden Cost of Field Service Inefficiencies: What You're Not Seeing on the Balance Sheet

Managing field operations is a lot like repairing a leaky pipe you see the water, but not always the source. As someone who has spent over a decade overseeing technicians, tools, and tasks across multiple sites, I've learned that the biggest budget drain often comes from things that don't show up on a line item: delays, miscommunication, and time spent chasing information. These inefficiencies rarely make headlines, but they're bleeding money from service organizations. Let's break down how.

Common PAM Implementation Pitfalls and How To Avoid Them

Implementing a Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution is an important step toward protecting your organization’s most sensitive data and systems. When executed correctly, PAM helps enforce the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP), reduces your attack surface and gives security teams control over who can access what and when. However, how effective a PAM solution is depends on how it’s implemented.

Legacy Partnerships Are Costing You Customers: Power Up with Cato's Private PoP

Having spent over two decades navigating the evolving landscape of service provider partnerships, I’ve witnessed firsthand how challenging it can be for providers to maintain profitability and differentiation. Increasingly, relying on legacy vendors feels akin to selling customers a shiny new car equipped with an outdated engine—appealing at first glance but disappointing once in use.

What Is Human Risk Management?

Cybersecurity has long focused on fortifying networks, securing endpoints and blocking malicious code. Yet one of the most persistent and costly security vulnerabilities isn’t technical — it’s human. Employees routinely fall for phishing scams, mishandle sensitive data or unintentionally violate security policies. While most people don’t mean to cause harm, their behavior still introduces significant cyber risk to the organization.

How EDR evasion is changing threat detection

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) have become integral to modern SecOps architecture and threat detection capabilities. However, the urgency of the situation is clear—attackers are deploying increasingly sophisticated techniques to bypass threat detection centered on these systems.
