Microsoft Advancing Windows Driver Security: Ending Cross-Signed Kernel Driver Trust

Microsoft is preparing a major change to Windows that could quietly reshape how security and compatibility are balanced across the entire ecosystem. Starting April 2026, Windows will begin blocking kernel drivers signed through the legacy cross-signed root program by default, replacing a decades-old trust model with a stricter, policy-driven approach centred on the Windows Hardware Compatibility Program (WHCP). This is more than a routine update.

Container Security Without Context Is Just More Noise

Mend.io’s new Docker Hardened Images integration brings DHI intelligence directly into the AppSec workflow, giving a smarter, faster path to container security. Container scanning has a noise problem. Run a standard scan against any production image, and you’ll surface thousands of CVEs.

How Can Active Deception Validate Security Controls in Real Environments?

Security teams spend enormous effort deploying security controls. Endpoint protection tools. Network monitoring platforms. Identity security solutions. Detection systems. Logging platforms. The list continues to grow every year. But here’s the uncomfortable question many organizations eventually face: Are those controls actually working the way we expect? Security tools can generate alerts, dashboards, and metrics.

Cybersecurity Strengthens Trust in Digital Systems

Every time a customer enters payment details, shares personal data, or logs into an online service, they place enormous faith in the organization behind that platform, trusting that the entity responsible for managing their sensitive information will safeguard it against breaches, unauthorized access, and any form of misuse. This kind of faith is not something that customers grant freely or without careful consideration of the security measures in place. It is built through clear, measurable security practices that shield sensitive data from unauthorized access and misuse.

How to Secure Endpoints in Hybrid Work Environments

Picture a Tuesday morning at any mid-size U.S. company. A sales rep logs into Salesforce from a hotel lobby in Chicago on a personal laptop, no VPN. A developer pushes a commit from a home machine four months behind on OS patches. A finance analyst pastes a revenue spreadsheet into an AI tool that nobody in IT approved. Before 10 AM, you have three real endpoint security gaps. None of them triggered an alert. That’s hybrid work in 2026. And it’s not going away.

Why Banks Need Real-Time Privileged Session Monitoring

Ransomware and stolen credentials are among the most common and harmful attack vectors targeting financial institutions. Since banking systems store valuable financial assets and sensitive customer data, organizations must demonstrate strict control and oversight of privileged access to support regulatory and audit expectations under frameworks such as SOX, PCI DSS and GLBA.
