Our 2025 - Innovation, Intelligence, and Impact

Following Cyberint’s acquisition by Check Point at the end of 2024, we’ve only accelerated across our platform and services. This year-in-review highlights the biggest achievements of 2025, spanning AI innovation, huge advancements in threat intelligence, brand protection, and attack surface management, global coverage and most importantly customer impact.

What is Safe Remediation in Check Point Exposure Management's Offering?

Safe Remediation is the process of turning validated exposure insights into coordinated, non-disruptive fixes across security controls ensuring teams can reduce risk quickly without breaking production. More specifically, Safe Remediation includes: Validation before enforcement Remediation without downtime Automated, coordinated action across controls Preemptive blocking of attacker infrastructure Safe-by-design automation Safe Remediation ensures that exposures are fixed quickly, automatically, and without operational risk – turning detection into trusted, validated action.

The group operates under multiple aliases, including Megumi, vulnerandolo, and Johan_Liebheart. Their primary motivation is personal gain, and they are characterized as having an intermediate level of sophistication.

Is CTEM a framework or a solution?

CTEM, introduced by Gartner, was designed to address a critical gap in traditional vulnerability management: the broken flow between detection and remediation. While reports and alerts pile up, exposures often remain unresolved, leaving organizations at risk. CTEM organizes this process into five stages—Scoping, Discovery, Prioritization, Validation, and Mobilization—bringing structure to chaos. Technically, it’s a framework because Gartner never mandated a single solution to deliver all stages. Most vendors only cover one or two.

Attack Surface Management vs. Exposure Management: What Wins?

When Attack Surface Management (ASM) stops at discovery, teams drown in alerts, CVE lists, and noise. What’s exposed isn’t the same as what’s actively being weaponized—and without prioritization or built-in remediation, risk piles up fast. Exposure Management (EM) closes that gap. It merges threat intelligence, vulnerability context, and safe-by-design remediation into one continuous loop. Instead of “scan → report → wait,” EM delivers.

Payroll Pirates: The Widespread Malvertising Network

Since at least May 2023, a financially motivated cyber-crime network has been operating a phishing campaign primarily abusing Google Ads, and occasionally Microsoft Ads to drive traffic to credential-harvesting websites. This campaign – part of which was named “Payroll Pirates” by SilentPush – has remained active, with periodic updates to tactics and target rotations.

The Weak Link: Recent Supply Chain Attacks Examined

Originally published: April 2023 Updated: September 2025 Supply chain attacks are a growing and increasingly sophisticated form of cyber threat. They target the complex network of relationships between organizations and their suppliers, vendors, and third-party service providers. These attacks exploit vulnerabilities that emerge due to the interconnected nature of digital supply chains, which often span multiple organizations, systems, and geographies.
