What are SOC 2 Penetration Testing Requirements?
A SOC 2 Penetration Testing (pentest) is often highly recommended by the auditors to demonstrate the effectiveness of the controls implemented during the SOC 2 audit. Developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), SOC 2 establishes a comprehensive framework based on 5 key pillars for managing data and strengthening relationships with all stakeholders.
Managing Audio Distractions in Hybrid Work
Hybrid work environments expose employees to continuous acoustic variability, where unmanaged microphones and delayed use of the mute button frequently cause unintended audio interruptions. These disruptions break concentration cycles, increase cognitive load, and reduce meeting efficiency across distributed teams. Effective sound control has therefore become a measurable productivity factor rather than a subjective comfort issue.
How to Improve Cyber Security and Phishing Protection with a Fractional Executive
Many organisations today turn to fractional executives - such as a fractional CEO or fractional CFO - to gain fast access to reliable external expertise that improves operations without committing to a full-time hire. Similar solutions exist for specialised cyber security leadership: a fractional CISO can provide strategic oversight, governance, and risk-based decision-making on a flexible basis. For organisations facing ever-more sophisticated threats and limited internal resources, engaging an expert on a fractional basiscan mean the difference between reactive firefighting and proactive cyber resilience.
Extending Access Duration Without Breaking Flow
Today we’re introducing Extending Access Duration, a new capability designed to solve a problem we kept hearing about from customers who rely on short-lived, approved access to sensitive systems. Just-in-Time access is the right model for protecting critical resources. But real work does not always fit neatly into the time window defined when an access flow was created.
The 2026 Forecast for AI-Driven Threats
2025 changed the shape of digital risk. In 2026, the impact accelerates. The fastest-growing threats no longer look like traditional attacks. They arrive through apparently legitimate automated access – AI agents, LLM crawlers, and delegated automation interacting directly with revenue-critical systems. They don’t trigger alarms. They quietly extract value, distort pricing logic, and reshape digital economics at scale.
Account Takeover Fraud Prevention: What Banking Boards and Regulators Expect CISOs to Prove
This article addresses a core board-level question: How can CISOs prove account takeover fraud prevention to auditors and boards?
The best TPRM software for 2026
Vendor risk programs often scale faster than the teams that run them. Every new third-party relationship adds security questionnaires, evidence requests, and hours of manual follow-up. When a single vendor review can take 50+ hours, backlogs grow, reviews slow, and critical risks slip through. At the same time, vendor security postures change constantly.
How Data Lineage Improves Data Labeling and Classification
For many security teams, data labels create more friction than clarity. Analysts are buried in alerts driven by labels they don’t fully trust. Files are marked “sensitive” with little explanation and important context is missing. As a result, investigations often turn into manual triage exercises, with teams jumping between logs and tools just to determine whether an alert reflects real risk or harmless activity.
CVE-2026-1731: Unauthenticated OS Command Injection Vulnerability in BeyondTrust Remote Support and Privileged Remote Access
On February 6, 2026, BeyondTrust released fixes for a critical vulnerability affecting BeyondTrust Remote Support (RS) and Privileged Remote Access (PRA), tracked as CVE‑2026‑1731. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote threat actors to execute operating system commands in the context of the site user via specially crafted requests.
