Modern cloud threats move fast. Detection and response has to move faster. Wiz gives security teams the visibility and precision they need to detect real threats across sprawling cloud environments. Torq turns those threat detections into action — instantly. Together, they’re a cheat code for cloud security operations.

AI Agents aren’t coming - they’re already here! reshaping industries, enhancing productivity, and unlocking new possibilities. Embedded in tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot, Salesforce Einstein, and custom-built assistants, they’re making decisions, automating workflows, and interacting with sensitive business data in real time. This wave of innovation is moving fast, but for once, security doesn’t have to play catch-up.

Organizations often assume that restoring a backup to a patched environment eliminates threats. However, backups encapsulate both data and schema objects, including triggers. A compromised backup, often taken after an initial breach, may contain hidden triggers that reactivate the attacker’s access upon restore. This post explores how malicious triggers in compromised backups can serve as persistence mechanisms for attackers and how to mitigate this threat.

Ransomware attacks are surging, and Bitsight data shows just how dramatic the rise has been. Our cyber threat intelligence (CTI) researchers observed a nearly 25% increase in unique ransomware victims listed on leak sites in 2024.

Another breach? Not quite. You’ve probably seen the headlines: “16 billion passwords leaked in the largest breach ever.” It sounds like a cybersecurity doomsday event. Media outlets ran with it. Even seasoned security leaders reposted it in alarm. Here’s the truth: this isn’t a fresh breach. No, Google, Meta, and Apple weren’t hacked. What actually happened is that a massive trove of previously stolen credentials was released.
