For decades, the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been guiding industry efforts through the many publications in its Computer Security Resource Center. NIST has played an especially important role in the adoption of Zero Trust architecture, through its series of publications that began with NIST SP 800-207: Zero Trust Architecture, released in 2020.

The cybersecurity landscape has reached a turning point. In this article, George Patsis, CEO of Obrela, challenges the traditional, tool-centric approach to cyber defense and goes through Obrela’s ground breaking approach to: real-time risk management. With cyber threats growing more complex and unpredictable, organizations must shift from reactive threat detection to a context-aware, business-aligned risk management.

In mid-May 2025, Cloudflare blocked the largest DDoS attack ever recorded: a staggering 7.3 terabits per second (Tbps). This comes shortly after the publication of our DDoS threat report for 2025 Q1 on April 27, 2025, where we highlighted attacks reaching 6.5 Tbps and 4.8 billion packets per second (pps). The 7.3 Tbps attack is 12% larger than our previous record and 1 Tbps greater than a recent attack reported by cyber security reporter Brian Krebs at KrebsOnSecurity.

The dictionary (at least the online version) defines the word trend as a general direction in which something is developing or changing. It also does have a secondary definition relating to fashion, but unless we want to cover off on some questionable choices I made when younger, we can skip that one. When does something move beyond being a trend, and create a lasting shift in behavior–or for the purposes of our discussion, technology?

Now, we're taking a leap forward with the introduction of Tiger Team Testing, designed to deliver rapid, targeted results at a lower cost.

AI security is where traditional cybersecurity meets the chaotic brilliance of machine learning. It’s the discipline focused on protecting AI systems—not just the code, but the training data, model logic, and output—from manipulation, theft, and misuse. Because these systems learn from data, not just logic, they open up fresh attack surfaces like data poisoning, model inversion, and prompt injection.

According to the Verizon 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR), exploitation of vulnerabilities saw a sharp 34% increase as an initial access vector compared to the previous year. This places it among the top methods attackers use to infiltrate organizations, alongside phishing and credential theft. The message is clear: even one unpatched vulnerability on your website can lead to data breaches, service downtime, and long-term reputational damage. The good news? These threats are preventable.
