Corelight CEO Brian Dye shares how a customer in the energy sector turned a mandatory compliance project into a broader security win. Brought in to meet FERC 87 monitoring requirements for bulk electric systems, Corelight also helped advance their security operations. The customer used the compliance mandate not just to check a box—but to gain meaningful visibility and security value from day one.

Corelight CEO Brian Dye recounts how Corelight supported SectorCERT—an alliance of energy companies in Denmark—during one of the most advanced attack sequences he’s seen. The coordinated campaign targeted a shared firewall vulnerability across nearly a dozen organizations. Corelight provided the critical visibility and detection that helped defenders stop the first wave—and stay ahead of a second, modified attack just weeks later. The incident became a model of collaboration and response across national infrastructure.

Corelight CEO Brian Dye shares the high-stakes story of a customer under a $10 million ransomware attack. The attackers claimed to have stolen sensitive IP—but with Corelight, the customer had the network visibility to verify exactly what was taken. The result? They confirmed the stolen data was limited and non-critical, enabling them to confidently deny the ransom demand. This powerful story illustrates the difference between “I think” and “I know”—and how that clarity can drive executive confidence, legal defensibility, and real-world savings.

Does WAF protect against API threats? A10's Jamison Utter discusses whether WAF (Web Application Firewalls) can protect API (Application Programming Interface). Since the role of a WAF is to stop run-time actions, it's not designed for modern API security challenges, as it has no context for what API is doing.

How to Fix the Challenges with Web App Firewalls Is your WAF enough? A10 experts Jamison Utter and Gary Wang delve into advanced security strategies that surpass traditional web application firewalls (WAFs). In today’s ever-evolving threat landscape, organizations face numerous security challenges that necessitate a shift from conventional WAFs to next-generation solutions.
