Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

With any security framework, be it ISO 27001, FedRAMP, or CMMC, the goal is not to secure “your business.” It’s to secure sensitive and controlled information that your business handles. This is a fundamentally important way of looking at your security. Why does this matter? It’s all about borders. Where do you draw the line between what you keep secure and what you don’t care about?

A practical look at how CISOs can turn the lessons of 2025 into actionable threat intelligence strategies for 2026.

In the evolving landscape of data protection and compliance, data classification is the bedrock of safe AI workflows. Yet legacy approaches rely on singular models that are fixed, rigid, and limited in context. Our agentic data classification approach reshapes this paradigm by not relying on any single model. Instead, we orchestrate a dynamic, intelligent layer that automatically selects the right model for the job.

CVE-2026-24858 is a critical authentication bypass vulnerability(CWE-288: Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel) in Fortinet products. It affects FortiOS, FortiAnalyzer, FortiManager, and potentially FortiProxy. An attacker with a FortiCloud account and registered device can log into devices registered to other accounts if FortiCloud SSO is enabled. Disclosed January 27, 2026, as actively exploited zero-day. CVSS 9.4 (some sources cite 9.8).

During routine Dark Web Monitoring activities, Our Threat Intelligence Team identified a newly active ransomware operation calling itself The Green Blood Group. The group operates a dedicated Tor-based leak site and follows a double-extortion model, threatening public disclosure of victim data when negotiations fail. The screenshot shown above captures the group’s Tor portal in its current state.

On January 29, 2026, Ivanti released fixes for two critical zero-day code injection vulnerabilities affecting Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM). The vulnerabilities, tracked as CVE-2026-1281 and CVE-2026-1340, impact the In-House Application Distribution and Android File Transfer Configuration features and allow unauthenticated remote threat actors to achieve remote code execution.

There are numerous ways of carrying out cyberattacks. Identity is now one of the most common ways attackers gain access to systems. Instead of malware or exploits, attackers rely on stolen credentials or reused passwords. They abuse permissions to carry out sophisticated attacks that appear normal on the surface. Basic monitoring tools cannot detect these attacks. Identity misuse is becoming more common. Many organizations now work across cloud services and remote access.

In the race to innovate, software has repeatedly reinvented how we define identity, trust, and access. In the 1990's, the web made every server a perimeter. In the 2010's, the cloud made every identity a workload. Here in 2026, agentic AI makes every action autonomous.
