As a security executive, how do you know if your organization can detect a certain attack? A talented, experienced team armed with advanced tooling can certainly generate confidence — but even then, detections can slip through the cracks if not properly codified.

The cybersecurity landscape witnessed a perfect storm in July 2025 when multiple critical SharePoint vulnerabilities collided with sophisticated IIS module-based persistence techniques, creating a nightmare scenario for enterprise defenders. CVE-2025-53770, CVE-2025-53771, CVE-2025-49704, and CVE-2025-49706 are being actively exploited by sophisticated threat actors, but the real danger extends far beyond the initial exploitation phase.

In today’s cloud-first world, security teams need real-time, actionable visibility into user activity and threats across the web, cloud, and private apps. The newly announced Netskope Log Streaming delivers just that. Netskope’s Log Streaming solution delivers significant value by providing real-time access to all Netskope-generated security logs directly into customers’ preferred cloud storage and last mile security information and event management (SIEM) tools.

The cybersecurity community is facing yet another critical infrastructure vulnerability that threatens enterprise networks worldwide. CVE-2025-5777, dubbed "CitrixBleed 2" by security researcher Kevin Beaumont, represents a dangerous out-of-bounds memory read vulnerability in Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway devices. This new flaw bears an unsettling resemblance to the original CitrixBleed (CVE-2023-4966), which was widely exploited by ransomware groups and nation-state actors in 2023.

In many sports, but especially soccer, a team has a set of offensive players and defensive players. The offensive players look for ways to compromise the opposing team’s defenses, seeking to get the ball in the goal. Meanwhile, the defenders work hard to push back against the opponent’s offensive line to clear the ball from the goal line. On a security team, your defenders are the blue team.

Data lakes have evolved. Once treated as passive storage archives, they’re now becoming active components of enterprise risk management. The driver? Selective retrieval — the ability to park large data volumes in cold storage and later retrieve targeted slices for forensic or compliance needs. This shift matters. According to 2025 data from Cybersecurity Insights Group, 73% of enterprises report that SIEM ingestion costs are limiting their real-time analysis capacity.

Email threats aren’t slowing down. From credential phishing to malware-laced attachments, email remains one of the most exploited entry points for attackers. If you’re already using Mimecast to help mitigate that risk, you’re ahead of the curve — but raw log data only gets you so far. Starting with Graylog 6.2.3, you can pull logs directly from Mimecast using API v2.0 and view them immediately with built-in Illuminate Dashboards.

Over the last few years, news reports around ransomware attacks have noted that the attacks are increasingly sophisticated. Simultaneously, they say that the attackers are less sophisticated than in the past. While these two statements appear to conflict with each other, they are both true when viewed through the lens of the current cybercriminals business models.

Social engineering attacks continue to be among the most effective methods for delivering malware and compromising systems. Among these, a concerning trend has emerged and rapidly gained traction: "ClickFix" and "FakeCAPTCHA" campaigns. These sophisticated attacks exploit users' familiarity with everyday verification systems while leveraging clipboard manipulation techniques to deliver malicious payloads—all without exploiting a single technical vulnerability.
