See how Torq harnesses AI in your SOC to detect, prioritize, and respond to threats faster. Request a Demo 2025 marked a significant shift in the security operations landscape. The industry focus moved beyond simple task automation to full-scale autonomy, driven by the adoption of agentic AI and Hyperautomation. Throughout the year, we documented this transition through technical research, strategic frameworks, and real-world implementation stories.

Interactive logon refers to users authenticating directly to a Windows system through its interface, such as a GUI or command line. Because these logons grant immediate access to a live session, misconfigured interactive logon policies can expose systems to credential theft and unauthorized access. This guide explains which interactive logon settings matter, where risks commonly appear, and how to harden them effectively.

Banks make money from trading and brokerage. JP Morgan’s Markets division: $31 billion in 2024 and Goldman Sachs: $26 billion, according to private industry analysis. Morgan Stanley’s wealth division made $28 billion. Digital assets don’t change the role banks play to earn this revenue. In fact, they extend it. But activity is migrating. Coinbase generated $4 billion in transaction revenue in 2024, the same intermediation function banks provide.

Millions of homes, businesses, and hospitals depend on solar power, a clean and cost-effective source of renewable energy. Adoption has accelerated worldwide thanks to major government initiatives such as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in the U.S., the Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) in the EU, the Smart Export Guarantee in the UK, and Australia’s Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES). As clean energy infrastructure expands, a new vulnerability is emerging.

If you’re a SonicWall partner, chances are 2025 tested your patience, and your margins. Between high-profile breaches, unexpected price increases, and strategic pivots that created more confusion than clarity, many partners were left absorbing the fallout while working harder for less return. As the security landscape continues to evolve, partners deserve a platform that simplifies operations, protects customers, and supports sustainable growth.

Over the years, cybersecurity predictions tend to all sound the same. Ransomware attacks will continue, supply-chain incidents will increase, and phishing will remain a problem. However, the tail end of 2025 and 2026 presented the cybersecurity industry with a new concern, Agentic AI. Agentic AI capabilities far exceed the basic AI concerns that were reported in the past. Its ability to make decisions and take actions on its own, without needing a human to approve every step, is a game-changer.

In the startup world, speed is oxygen. The mantra is familiar: move fast, ship the MVP, and break things if you have to. When you are fighting for traction, especially when building generative AI applications, privacy usually feels like a “nice-to-have.” It’s something you bolt on later once you have actual users and revenue. But treating data protection as a post-launch feature creates a specific, dangerous kind of liability.

Malwarebytes warns that threat actors are abusing the free Cloudflare Pages service to host phishing portals, helping the phishing sites avoid detection by security scanners. The attackers are building fake login pages impersonating banking, insurance, and healthcare entities. The pages are designed to harvest credentials as well as security questions and multifactor authentication codes.

A few years ago, an IP address was enough to identify users online ‒ almost like a physical address that indicated where they were located. Today, however, users no longer rely on a single device or location, making it far more difficult for organizations to recognize who is accessing their systems, from where, and with what level of risk.
