Cato CTRL Threat Research: Foxveil - New Malware Loader Abusing Cloudflare, Discord, and Netlify as Staging Infrastructure

Cato CTRL has identified a previously undocumented malware loader we track as “Foxveil.” We observed evidence that the malware campaign has been active since August 2025, and we observed two distinct variants (v1 and v2). Foxveil behaves like a modern initial-stage loader: it establishes an initial foothold, frustrates analysis, and retrieves next-stage payloads from threat actor-controlled staging hosted on Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, and, in some cases, Discord attachments.

CISO Spotlight: Craig Riddell on Curiosity, Translation, and Why API Security is the New Business Imperative

It’s an unusually cold winter morning in Houston, and Craig Riddell is settling into his new role as Wallarm’s Global Field CISO. It’s a position that suits him down to the ground, blending technical depth, empathy, business acumen, and, what Craig believes, the most underrated skill in cybersecurity: curiosity. Like so many of us, Craig got into cybersecurity by accident. He first learned Unix under the guidance of a mentor while transitioning out of the military.

Why Endpoint, SIEM, and EDR Fail Against Defense Evasion Without Context

Defense evasion is one of the main reasons cyberattacks go undetected for days or weeks. Attackers avoid breaking systems now. They prefer to hide inside them. For that, they use defense evasion techniques that allow them to blend into normal activity and avoid alerts. Tools like EDR and SIEM can detect parts of an attack, but cannot provide the complete picture. This creates detection blind spots. Teams also face alert fatigue, which prevents them from recognizing real threats.

Preemptive Defense Is No Longer Optional: Why Frost & Sullivan Is Calling for Earlier Fraud Intervention

Preemptive cybersecurity defense refers to the ability to detect and disrupt fraud and account takeover attempts before credentials are misused and damage occurs. According to a 2026 analyst brief from Frost & Sullivan, most enterprise fraud and cybersecurity controls still activate too late in the attack lifecycle to prevent loss.

What is Data Tracing? How It Works, and Why You Should Care

Security logs tell you who accessed a system, but they won’t tell you where a CSV file went after someone exported it. Files move between apps, users, and third-party vendors without anyone truly tracking where they go, who touches them, or how they’re used. And that’s a massive problem when a breach happens, when auditors come knocking, or when you’re trying to tighten internal controls.

When to Consider Outsourcing PPC for Security Businesses Instead of Doing It In-House

Many business owners notice small warning signs before real problems appear. Phone calls slow down without clear reasons. Ad costs rise while results feel unclear. Dashboards show numbers, yet the meaning feels missing. This experience is common in competitive service industries. It matters more in security, where urgency drives decisions. Paid advertising is taking a larger share of business budgets.
