When it comes to recovery from backups, one of the core functionalities needed is recovering a file or files that may have been accidentally or intentionally deleted, corrupted by a system failure, or a possible ransomware infection. When it comes to file recovery, we want to be able to quickly and easily recover from a backup and have the flexibility to choose the restore points we need.

Security operations often feel like a paradox: a discipline built on high-speed decision-making wrapped inside layers of noisy, inconsistent data. Every alert has some useful and not so useful noise, but only a few truly matter. Our job is to know the difference. For us, Tines became the medium through which the noise resolved into signal.

Email security often focuses on incoming threats such as phishing, malware, and malicious links, but outbound email security is just as important. According to KnowBe4’s 2025 State of Human Risk Report, nearly half of cybersecurity leaders say misdirected emails sent by employees have caused security incidents. These mistakes typically happen when employees send messages to the wrong recipient, attach the wrong file, or unintentionally share sensitive information.

There is a widening gap between what most organizations call offensive security testing and what actually keeps them safe. The standard model looks familiar: schedule an annual penetration test, receive a PDF full of color-coded findings, remediate a handful of critical items, and repeat next year. Attackers do not operate in annual cycles. The core problem is not a lack of testing. It is the wrong kind.

Your backups survived a ransomware attack. Your team restored everything within hours. And three days later, the same malware is back, encrypting the same files, because nobody checked whether those backups were clean before putting them into production.

Operational Technology (OT) security safeguards the industrial systems, networks, and physical processes that power modern society. Unlike Information Technology (IT), which prioritizes data confidentiality, OT security focuses on the availability, reliability, and safety of physical operations, protecting the technology behind turbines, robotic arms, pumps, and pipeline valves.

Active Directory (AD) remains the foundational identity and access management system for the vast majority of enterprises globally, making it a prime target for cybercriminals. AD is constantly under attack, and threat actors rarely have to resort to complex, zero-day exploits to breach it. Instead, they rely on a pervasive and persistent vulnerability: everyday misconfigurations.
