Are WAFs Obsolete? Pros, Cons, and What the Future Holds

Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) have long served as the front line of defense for web applications, filtering out malicious traffic and enforcing security policies. But as threats grow more sophisticated and application environments become more dynamic, many are questioning whether traditional WAFs are still up to the task. In 2025, with the rise of cloud-native applications, APIs, and machine learning-driven attacks, it's no longer enough to rely on static, rule-based filtering.

5 Overlooked Types of Endpoint Security You're Probably Missing

Most posts about types of endpoint security mention antivirus software, firewalls, or maybe EDR/XDR. And while those security technologies are important, they’re not enough. Cyberattacks have evolved. Today’s cyber threats target laptops, smartphones, and even IoT devices. Ransomware moves laterally. Zero-day exploits bypass signature-based defenses. Phishing attacks hit the end-user, not just the firewall.

Why we moved our ECS services from Fargate to EC2

At Tines, we rely heavily on AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS) to power our workflow automation platform. For a couple of years, we used Fargate as our default compute layer – offering simplicity and removing the need to manage underlying hosts. However, as we scaled, we started hitting the edges of what Fargate could reliably offer. This is the story of why we migrated our backend services to an EC2-backed ECS Capacity Provider and what we learned along the way.

The Top 3 Hyperautomation Use Cases for Torq POCs

Many organizations come to Torq when they’ve hit a wall with their legacy SOAR platform. The migration to Torq isn’t just a technology upgrade — it’s an operational overhaul. With Torq, enterprises have replaced hundreds of rigid playbooks in weeks, dramatically reduced time-to-value, and unlocked capabilities that legacy SOAR could never support.

How Human Behavior Can Strengthen Healthcare Cybersecurity

Few sectors exemplify the enormous value of data as healthcare does. From the relatively mundane, such as digitalizing patient data for streamlined care, to the extraordinary, like the use of AI to revolutionize prostate cancer diagnosis and care, data is the lifeblood of modern healthcare and, as such, must be protected. For years, we have been told that humans and human error are the weakest link in cyber defenses, but it's time to challenge this notion.

What is a Web Browser Based Attack?

Did you know 95% of undetectable malware spreads through your browser? From Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and CSRF to Clickjacking and drive-by downloads—web browser-based attacks are more common and more dangerous than ever. In this video, we break down how these attacks work, what causes them, and what you can do to stay protected—both as a user and a website owner.

The Complete Guide to Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC)

ABAC is an access control paradigm where access rights are granted through the use of attributes associated with: Access decisions are made using policy rules that evaluate these attributes. For example, a doctor can access patient records only if they are on duty and the patient is in their department.

SIEM Essentials for Security Operations

For many Security Operations Center (SOC) teams, every day feels like a balancing act just shy of burnout. The alerts don’t stop. The tooling gets in the way more than it helps. And analysts—the people at the heart of security operations—are left trying to untangle signals in a sea of noise, pressure, and constant escalation. This isn’t just a tooling issue. It’s a deeper misalignment: the gap between what SIEM was supposed to be and what security teams actually need.
