Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

Security information and event management, or SIEM, remains one of the foundational technologies in the security operations center. Gartner defines SIEM as a configurable system of record that collects, aggregates, and analyzes security event data from on-premises and cloud environments to support threat detection, investigation, and response, along with compliance requirements.

91% of respondents in the energy and utilities sector reported a significant OT cybersecurity incident in the past year. That figure comes from Honeywell’s 2026 OT Security Benchmark. In operational technology (OT), an incident can mean more than compromised data. It can interrupt production, delay maintenance, affect essential services, and put safety and uptime at risk.

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is the security equivalent of showing up at the airport and discovering TSA changed the rules overnight again: Laptops out, laptops in, shoes off, shoes on, and declare your shampoo like it’s contraband uranium. You can argue with the signage, but the plane is still leaving, and compliance is not optional. The good news is you don’t need a physics degree, a quantum computer, or a wellness crystal to deal with it.

Let’s face it: inertia is often the most common yet most dangerous adversary when it comes to acquiring new technology, especially in cybersecurity. There is still a persistent assumption across many organizations that email security architecture that worked three years ago is still good enough for today’s threat landscape. Even when security teams suspect gaps, the friction of evaluating, procuring and operationalizing new technology creates a massive organizational bottleneck.

Threat actors are using a new phishing kit called “GhostCode” to target sales teams with phony business inquiries, according to researchers at eSentire. The threat actors begin the attack using the targeted company’s web contact form, so the messages won’t be blocked by security filters.
