What Is SOC (Security Operations Centre) and Does Your Business Need One?

Oct 19, 2026 By Joey Wright In ThreatSpike
A security operations centre (SOC) is the team that watches your systems around the clock and steps in when an attacker gets past your defences. Its job is to find intruders quickly and contain them before reaching anything critical. Few businesses have their own in-house SOC. Most get the same 24/7 cover from a managed SOC, run by a specialist provider. Either way, what happens in the first few hours of an attack determines how much damage is done.

Top-Down vs Bottom-Up Cyber Risk Quantification

Oct 19, 2026 By Kovrr In Kovrr
Run both approaches against one company and the figures differ, which is expected. The useful part is that they differ in a predictable direction, which makes the distance between them informative rather than embarrassing. ‍ Bottom-up tends to come in lower and top-down higher, for reasons that follow from how each is built. Knowing which way each one leans is more useful than choosing between them. ‍

What an AI Agent Registry Should Record

Oct 19, 2026 By Kovrr In Kovrr
Seven fields carry an agent registry, and they split into two kinds. Some a person has to state, because the answer exists only in somebody's intention. The rest can be read from systems that already hold them. ‍ Which kind each field belongs to decides whether the registry drifts. Typing an observable value creates a record that was accurate on the day somebody typed it, and recording a declared value is the only way to capture it at all. ‍

What is remote code execution (RCE)? How AI speeds up exploitation and how to limit the damage

Oct 19, 2026 By Jarosław Bogalecki In Netwrix
Remote code execution (RCE) lets an attacker run commands on a system they don't own, usually through a flaw in a web application, CMS, VPN portal, or API. A successful exploit inherits the permissions of the vulnerable service, and many services run with far more access than they need. AI shortens the time from a disclosed flaw to a working exploit and lets attackers test thousands of exposed systems at once. A remote code execution flaw turns a vulnerable server into someone else's computer.

How to conduct a data risk assessment that drives action

Oct 19, 2026 By Netwrix Team In Netwrix
A data risk assessment evaluates where sensitive data lives, who can reach it, and what happens if that access is misused. It creates value only when teams assign and track remediation; without current access data and live verification, organizations can't show that exposure has fallen. 75% of sensitive data exposures begin with compromised identities or misconfigured permissions, according to the Netwrix 2026 Data and Identity Security Report.
