As per Gartner’s report, cloud infrastructure spending surged past $88 billion by 2022, with organizations rapidly expanding their hybrid cloud presence. But as hybrid deployments grow, achieving full network visibility in hybrid cloud becomes one of the most pressing challenges. Hybrid networks—blending on-premises and cloud-based systems—introduce complex infrastructures and performance blind spots.

Privileged accounts provide access to an organization’s most sensitive data and systems. The top challenges in managing privileged accounts include a lack of visibility, inconsistent access control policies, weak password management practices and inadequate incident response plans.

In this environment, traditional fraud defenses are collapsing under the weight of innovation they weren’t designed to face.

A practical guide for chief AI officers and technology leaders implementing federal AI governance The US Office of Management and Budget's recent memoranda — M-25-21, "Accelerating Federal Use of AI through Innovation, Governance, and Public Trust," and M-25-22, "Driving Efficient Acquisition of Artificial Intelligence in Government" — establish comprehensive frameworks for federal agencies that implement AI systems while maintaining appropriate safeguards.

Swissport International AG is the world’s largest ground-handling company, ensuring seamless operations across 276 airports in 45 countries handling approximately 247 million airline passengers per year, as of the end of 2024. That kind of scale brings complexity. For Swissport’s new IT leadership, that complexity had grown into an unsustainable mix of legacy security controls, fragmented remote access solutions, and painfully slow troubleshooting. Then came the shift.

In DNS spoofing, hackers will modify DNS records that are directing web traffic in a way that users will now be sent to fraudulent websites that may seem legitimate. Basically, DNS is the internet's phone book. However, DNS can be tricked. In DNS spoofing, the cybercriminals place false DNS records in the DNS server cache, which resolves and directs users to websites controlled by the attacker.

Researchers at Hoxhunt have found that AI agents can now outperform humans at creating convincing phishing campaigns. The researchers state that in 2023, AI-powered phishing was 31% less effective than humans. In November 2024, it was 10% less effective than humans. Then in March 2025, the AI was 24% more effective than humans.

Let’s start with an obvious statement, and then let’s dig into it. Security incident investigations are expensive. Period. Especially when multiple highly-skilled team members are involved. Every hour spent hunting down threats or false alarms carries a real dollar cost. Industry research shows that the fully-loaded labor rate for IT security staff averages about $62.50 per hour.
