Imagine a procurement manager from a verified enterprise logging into your Shopify Plus store to place a bulk order — only to find they can’t access the wholesale catalog or exclusive pricing. Therefore, admins must step in manually to verify the company and assign access, turning what should be a simple order into hours of work.

When your application crashes or a region goes offline, the difference between backup and replication determines whether you’re back online in minutes or scrambling for days. Most IT teams confuse these two strategies, but they solve different problems. Backup creates point-in-time copies of your data for recovery after corruption or deletion. Replication maintains synchronized copies across systems for high availability and failover.

Why outsourcing auth doesn't mean outsourcing risk.

It’s not hard for secrets to sprawl, buried under layers of commits and forgotten branches. Most teams don’t notice it until one bad push exposes everything. Secret leaks don’t come from breaches, but from configuration drift and forgotten credentials; a gap that traditional vault tools struggle to close on their own. Here’s the scale of that mess. Machine identities now outnumber human users by more than 80 to 1, and each one relies on credentials to function.

A newly disclosed vulnerability in Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) tracked as CVE-2025-10573 allows unauthenticated attackers to inject persistent JavaScript into the EPM administrative dashboard. Assigned a CVSS score of 9.6, this vulnerability presents a critical security risk because it enables attackers to hijack administrator sessions and gain full control over managed endpoints.

During our research into Microsoft 365 security, we discovered a flaw in Outlook on the web (OWA) that exposed information about users and their mailboxes. By manipulating certain request headers against the “/owa/service.svc” endpoint, an attacker could not only confirm whether a user account existed, but also determine if that account had a mailbox associated with it.
