Five Reasons Security Operations Teams Augment Microsoft Sentinel With New-Scale Analytics

Security operations teams face rising alert volumes, tighter staffing, and growing pressure to reduce risk without adding tools or people. If Microsoft Sentinel sits at the center of your environment, you may already see where it helps and where it starts to strain. For many teams, that moment shows up when detections lag, investigations drag, or too much work funnels to a small group of specialists.

Monitoring vs. Prevention: Why Your IRM Tool Needs to Do Both

Insider risk management (IRM) is the practice of identifying, assessing, and responding to data security threats that originate from people inside an organization, including employees, contractors, and partners. Modern IRM programs combine behavioral analytics, data visibility, and policy enforcement to detect risky activity before sensitive data leaves the organization. The operative word in that definition is "before." Most security teams assume their IRM tool does this. However, many are wrong.

CVE-2026-32201: SharePoint Spoofing Vulnerability Enabling Unauthenticated Impersonation

Over 1,300 Microsoft SharePoint servers exposed online remain unpatched against a spoofing vulnerability that was exploited as a zero-day. The vulnerability in question, CVE-2026-32201, is a spoofing vulnerability rooted in improper input validation that requires no login, no user interaction, and no special conditions to exploit. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to influence how content is rendered, making attacker-controlled data appear as legitimate output.

The AI Bubble Is About to Burst (Here's Why)

The AI bubble is about to burst. Energy costs, chip shortages and computer pricing are reaching unsustainable levels. The economics don't add up anymore and something has to crack. In this episode of Razorwire Raw, Jim Rees explains why AI is hitting an economic wall nobody's talking about. World energy consumption is climbing vertically because of AI. Data centres are on hold because there isn't enough electricity. GPU, RAM and CPU prices are spiralling. Large language model providers are raising prices because compute costs are exploding.

Token Bingo: Don't Let Your Code be the Winner

In early April 2026, Arctic Wolf began tracking a large-scale device code phishing campaign impacting organizations across multiple regions and sectors. Similar to the widespread “Riding the Rails” campaign first observed in late March by Huntress, the threat actors were observed abusing OAuth device code flow to trick victims into providing authentication codes and obtain initial access into victim environments.

DRaaS vs BaaS: Which Recovery Solution Do You Need?

You have backups. That’s a start. But when primary infrastructure fails, can your business actually keep running? That’s the core difference between DRaaS and BaaS. Backup as a service copies and stores your data. Disaster recovery as a service spins up your entire environment so that operations continue during an outage. They solve different problems, and treating them as interchangeable is how recovery plans fail when it matters most.

Supply chain attacks hit Checkmarx and Bitwarden developer tools

Sophos X-Ops is aware of reports that two widely-used developer tools – the Checkmarx KICs security scanner and the Bitwarden CLI – were hijacked on April 22, 2026, to steal credentials from development environments. These attacks occurred within hours of each other and share the same command-and-control (C2) domain – potentially pointing to a single threat actor running a coordinated campaign. Both vendors have since reportedly contained the incidents.

From Data to Decisions: How CTI Is Evolving in 2026

Cyber Threat Intelligence is changing fast in 2026 as organisations face AI-powered threats, rising ransomware activity, and expanding digital attack surfaces. Modern CTI is no longer about collecting data, but delivering actionable insight that helps security teams make faster, smarter decisions. Technology is evolving fast, and so is the cyber threat landscape.
