Why You Should Back Up Your Terraform Configuration Code

SUMMARY – If you lose your.tf files, your Infrastructure as Code (IaC) stays up, but becomes entirely unmanaged.– Having a backup saves your team from weeks of manually reverse-engineering code to hit your RTO.– Your automated deployments rely entirely on the IaC—if the code vanishes, your CI/CD instantly stalls.– The Git commit history is the exact proof you need to pass strict audits like NIS2, SOC 2, and ISO 27001.– Setting up a dedicated Terraform backup means you c

Runtime Incident Classification: Turning a Noisy Alert List Into a Triage Decision

Here is a scene every security team knows. A reverse shell opens a connection to an external address, pulls a service-account token, and starts moving against your cloud identity. Two rows below it on the same dashboard sits a payload that hit a front-end container and never executed. Both are tagged high severity. Both are competing for the same analyst’s attention at the same moment.

Automating SonicWall Certificate Deployment with the SonicOS API

How do we keep our Sonicwall certificates up to date as certificate lifetimes get shorter? We’re already at 200 day certs with 100 then 47 day certificates coming soon. A certificate you used to touch once every year now needs replacing up to twelve times a year. Doing this by hand is out of the question, no one has the time. Even if they did, the frequent updates is just asking for mistakes. Luckily, this can be automated using the SonicOS API.

ServiceNow, Then PeopleSoft: Why the Same Endpoint Failure Keeps Repeating

Three weeks ago, it was ServiceNow: an endpoint that never asked who was calling, exposing customer data to anyone who asked. This time it’s Oracle PeopleSoft, exploited at scale by the threat actor ShinyHunters. Two platforms, two different vendors, the same root failure: an endpoint that skipped the one question it existed to ask. That’s not a coincidence you write off as bad luck at two companies.

Gen. AI used to mislead victims in fraud campaigns

It is almost impossible to trust the source of an image or video anymore. On The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, Tamas Kadar, CEO and Co-Founder of SEON, explains how generative AI has reshaped what fraudsters can pull off. Setting up sophisticated fraud operations no longer requires coding skills, and synthetic identities and deepfake documents have become convincing enough that visual verification alone is no longer reliable.

Top 16 AI Agent Security Solutions

AI agent security solutions fall into two categories. Some use AI agents to perform security work, such as red teaming, pentesting, SOC investigation, threat hunting, and risk analysis. Others protect AI agents, copilots, MCP servers, and agentic workflows from vulnerabilities such as over-permissioning, prompt injection, unsafe tool use, data exposure, and unauthorized actions.

Veil#Drop: Blogspot-Hosted PowerShell Loader

Veil#Drop is a sophisticated multi-stage malware delivery framework that combines social engineering, compromised websites, malicious JavaScript launchers, PowerShell download cradles, and trusted cloud-hosted infrastructure to deploy PureLog Stealer entirely in memory. The infection chain begins with a deceptively named JavaScript file masquerading as a document (e.g., transcript.pdf.js), which executes through Windows Script Host and launches PowerShell with execution policy bypasses enabled.

Mastering Data Exfiltration Prevention in 2026

A lot of security programs still treat data exfiltration as a downstream consequence of compromise. That framing is too narrow. The global average cost of a breach reached $4.44 million in 2025 according to Varonis's summary of 2025 data breach statistics, and that cost lands on operations, legal, compliance, and executive credibility, not just the SOC.
