SafeBreach Senior Product Marketing Manager Tova Dvorin explores the critical necessity of continuous validation in Zero Trust architectures, specifically focusing on the integration of SafeBreach and Akamai Guardicore. While microsegmentation is a foundational element in the defense against lateral movement and ransomware propagation, dynamic infrastructure and policy drift often create “blind spots” that compromise security posture.

According to a Verizon report, the majority of data breaches are made possible by compromised credentials, especially on email servers. Social engineering, credential phishing and brute force attacks are some of the methods used by malicious actors to steal credentials. To improve the security of Office logins and help prevent data breaches, Microsoft introduced the modern authentication method.

One recurring theme in my research and writing on agentic AI security has been the distinction between soft guardrails and hard boundaries. As someone who serves on the Distinguished Review Board for the OWASP Agentic Top 10, and who spends every day thinking about how to secure agents across enterprise environments at Zenity, this distinction is not academic. It is potentially the single most important conceptual framework practitioners need to internalize right now.

Scattered Spider–style attacks increasingly target airline loyalty accounts, where stolen credentials can be used to hijack frequent flyer accounts and redeem miles for fraud. Investigations associated with the Scattered Spider ecosystem show how attackers manipulate impersonation campaigns, phishing infrastructure, and account recovery workflows to gain control of customer accounts. For airline security teams, the lesson is not limited to one threat group.

Google Photos is a popular app by Google to store, share, sync, and backup your photos, albums, and keep your memories in the cloud. Like Google Drive and its lack of privacy features, many are wondering whether Google Photos and privacy are possible with a Photos account.

Sure, they would vastly prefer targeting organizations in the opponent’s supply chain (which is why new requirements like CMMC are absolutely crucial), but every organization that is affiliated with or operates in the adversary’s territory becomes a target no matter how large or small.

As organizations manage sensitive data across endpoints, cloud platforms, and a growing number of SaaS applications, having clear visibility into where data lives and how it moves has become increasingly important. For companies operating in highly sensitive and IP driven environments, the ability to understand data access and respond quickly to risk is essential.

The real challenge for MSPs isn’t growth, it’s scaling effectively. As MSPs increase their client base and expand their service portfolios, managing multiple tools, consoles and vendors becomes progressively more complex, impacting operational efficiency and margins. In many cases, this isn’t the result of poor decision-making, but rather the evolution of the business.
