5 Tips for Scaling Cloud Security Without Adding Complexity

For years, managed service providers (MSPs) have secured customer cloud environments through periodic reviews of each tenant. That approach worked when a customer ran two or three cloud applications. As organizations adopt more SaaS applications, the number of environments, identities, and configurations to monitor also increases. The challenge is already visible.

Sophisticated Attacks No Longer Require Sophisticated Attackers

For years, the sophistication of a cyberattack was closely connected to the sophistication of the attacker behind it. Advanced campaigns required experienced threat actors with the knowledge, resources, and time needed to research targets, understand environments, create convincing interactions, adapt when something failed, and coordinate complex operations. Artificial Intelligence is beginning to change that relationship.

Unlock MSP Growth: How AI Drives Operational Efficiency and New Revenue

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future consideration for MSPs because it is already reshaping how leading providers run their businesses, protect their clients, and create new revenue streams. Separating real business value from hype requires a clear-eyed, practitioner-driven perspective. Join Marc Laliberte and a panel of MSP and security operations leaders for a candid discussion on how AI is being deployed today.

Ship a Working Detection Pipeline in One Workshop: Headless SOC with Grid by LimaCharlie

By the end of this hands-on workshop, you will have deployed a working detection pipeline, ingested a cloud log source, and shipped a bespoke dashboard app, all using Claude Code integrated with Grid by LimaCharlie. Along the way, you will see how Grid compresses the traditional SIEM/EDR/SOAR stack into a single automated workspace. We go well beyond standard EDR and SIEM use cases. What to expect.

WatchGuard Recognized as 2026 CRN Annual Report Card Winner for Network Security

WatchGuard Technologies, a global leader in unified cybersecurity, has been recognized as a 2026 CRN Annual Report Card (ARC) Award winner in the Security: Network Security—SMB category by CRN, a brand of The Channel Company.

Inside SECNAP: An Agentic MDR Platform Built on LimaCharlie

Joshua Strickland from SECNAP shows how his team built a full agentic MDR platform on top of LimaCharlie. SECNAP layers its own customer portal and SOC workflows directly on LimaCharlie's API, giving AI agents the same access to telemetry and response actions as a human analyst. Joshua will walk you through the customer portal, the SOC dashboard, and a live attack simulation on a sandboxed machine, including how AI agents handle tier one and tier two triage with Sonnet and Opus, and how a human analyst reviews and approves response actions before anything ships.

What Campaigns Like Grandoreiro Teach Us About Threat Detection

The recent Grandoreiro campaign detected by the WatchGuard Threat Lab team is a clear example of how today’s threats combine different techniques to make detection more difficult and operate more discreetly. In this case, the attack begins with a phishing email designed to persuade the user to click a link. From there, the victim is taken through several redirects and eventually downloads a compressed file from well-known services such as Dropbox or MediaFire.

Cryptographic Context Injection - The 443 Podcast - Episode 384

This week on the podcast, we discuss a research post that defines a new attack technique against AI tools called Cryptographic Context Injection. Before that, we cover an authentication bypass vulnerability in CircleCI's MCP server after discussing 3.6 million records stolen from the Azure tenants of several large organziations.
