In the world of Software Composition Analysis (SCA), we often treat the tuple of (package_name, version) as a unique identifier. For example, given an NPM package angular version 1.8.0 - we would know precisely which source code was used, and what vulnerabilities affect that version.It is a common misconception that a package version maps directly to a fixed set of source code and, by extension, a static vulnerability profile.

SantaStealer spreads via Telegram and underground forums, the BlackForce phishing kit targets major brands, and Ink Dragon launches new attacks.

As an MSP security team today, you’re constantly running a rat race. You’re juggling multiple tools, sifting through a constant stream of alerts, and working in diverse environments to ensure you keep every endpoint protected. Fragmented solutions and limited automation exacerbate operational challenges, particularly as threats continue to evolve and become increasingly difficult to identify.

Privileged access programs were designed for environments where access could be defined ahead of time. That assumption no longer holds in the cloud. Legacy PAM emerged in a world of static infrastructure, long-lived systems, and a relatively small number of privileged users. Access patterns were predictable. Roles could be created in advance, assigned broadly, and reviewed periodically. That model was imperfect, but it worked well enough.

To reduce the risk of data loss, organizations rely on proven backup strategies. In this guide, we explain what the 3-2-1 backup rule is, how it works, and how to apply it correctly. Topics discussed in this piece: click to expand What is the 3-2-1 backup rule? Three data copies Two different media One off-site copy Is the 3-2-1 backup rule still the industry best practice? Ever heard of the 3-2-1-1-0 backup rule? Alternative 4-3-2 strategy How do these compare against each other?

Your Oracle database contains business-critical data that powers daily operations, customer transactions, and strategic decisions. Hardware failures, human errors, and ransomware attacks can destroy this data in seconds, stopping operations and costing you millions in recovery expenses and lost revenue. A proper Oracle database backup strategy determines whether your organization recovers quickly or faces extended downtime.

AI automation for managed service providers is creating a major shift from reactive to proactive service delivery, allowing MSPs to streamline ticket handling, accelerate resolution times, and operate far more efficiently. Real-world data shows that AI-driven automation can help service desks close significantly more tickets per technician by automating triage and routine tasks, while also reducing operational costs by 25 to 40 percent** through improved workflow efficiency and reduced manual labor.

Enterprise AI adoption moved fast. Speed mattered. Shipping mattered. Getting AI into production mattered. That phase is over. Security leaders are now asking a harder question: whether the AI already embedded in security operations is safe, explainable, and aligned with how modern SOC teams actually work. The focus has shifted from adoption to trust, specifically explainability, governance, and operational fit.

Every superhero needs a sidekick. For your network and security teams, that is Cato’s ASK AI Assistant, our new AI Assistant built to help you see, solve, and secure faster than ever. This isn’t a basic Q&A tool. It brings customer-specific information and ability to work with other tools to answer complex questions.
