The £2 Million Reason Your CISO Needs Power
Major incidents demand rapid hiring, outside support and big spends within hours, not after weeks of approvals and budget meetings. Strong incident response gives security leaders pre agreed authority to sign contracts and access funds, so they bring in hundreds of specialists at speed instead of watching the breach spread. ⸻ For more information about us or if you have any questions you would like us to discuss email podcast@razorthorn.com. We give our clients a personalised, integrated approach to information security, driven by our belief in quality and discretion..
Business Continuity for Law Firms: Protecting Billable Hours and Court Deadlines
Law firm economics are unforgiving. According to the Clio Legal Trends Report, the average attorney bills only 2.5 hours per 8-hour workday. When IT systems fail, that already-thin margin disappears entirely. Consider a 20-attorney firm with average billing rates of $350 per hour.
Signature Verification Bypass in Authlib (CVE-2026-28802): What Cloud Security Teams Need to Know
OAuth and OpenID Connect are the backbone of modern cloud-native identity and access management. From SaaS platforms and internal APIs to Kubernetes microservices, these protocols are responsible for verifying who is allowed to access what. When a vulnerability appears in a widely used authentication library, the impact can cascade across entire application ecosystems.
Measure and Manage Cloud Identity Risk with CyberArk Cloud Discovery Service
Most security teams cannot confidently answer a simple question: who has access to which cloud resources right now? Human identities and accounts now span across thousands of services, subscriptions, and SaaS platforms. The result is a vast, decentralized environment riddled with “unknown unknowns” that security teams cannot fully map, and that traditional security controls weren’t designed to address. Attackers count on these identity blind spots.
Identity governance gaps: How AI profiles move security beyond the label
If your identity governance program feels like a relic from a simpler time, you’re not alone. Traditional identity governance and automation (IGA) was built for a world where job titles told the whole story. A software engineer was a software engineer; a sales rep was a sales rep. Assigning access was intended to be as simple as slotting people into predefined roles.
Proving CCPA Compliance: Logs, Reports, and Runtime Evidence
CCPA used to audit your policies and paperwork. Then came the Sephora settlement, and things moved to logs, runtime, and network reports. The company’s privacy policy said it didn’t sell consumer data. California’s AG ran the site, watched the cookies and pixels fire, and found that in reality, they did. Healthline followed in 2025. Then Disney in 2026. Different companies, common findings. Data gets collected and shared with third parties via tags. GPC gets ignored.
Why SAQ-A-EP Fails Without Client-Side Script Monitoring
In 2024, Recorded Future’s Fraud Intelligence Report found over 11,000 e-commerce domains actively running payment page skimmers, a nearly 300% increase from the year before. The majority of those merchants had no client-side monitoring in place.Most of them were processing payments through legitimate, PCI-certified processors. Some of them were almost certainly SAQ-A-EP merchants who believed their processor’s compliance covered their risk. It doesn’t.
Third-Party BAA Checklist: HIPAA Requirements for Website Technology Vendors
For most of HIPAA’s history, PHI moved through known systems, between known parties, for known reasons. You provisioned access and audited behavior. The data flows remained observable, and so did the vendor relationships built around them. EHR vendors, billing platforms, and transcription services, you knew what each one touched because you handed it to them. Then the website became part of the care journey. With it came appointment schedulers, symptom checkers, patient portals, and intake forms.
The 36% Surge in High-Risk Vulnerabilities: What It Means for Your Business
The concentration of dangerous software flaws is accelerating. The number of high-risk vulnerabilities – those with both high severity and high exploitability – has surged by 36% year-over-year, according to the 2026 State of Software Security Report. This trend indicates a critical problem: more risk is entering your codebase faster than ever before.
The Economic Argument: The Real Cost of Insecure APIs in the AI Era
When cybersecurity teams talk about risk, they usually speak in technical terms like vulnerabilities, exploits, and attack vectors. But when they walk into the boardroom, they need to speak a different language. They need to speak about cost. In the era of AI, the cost of insecure APIs has shifted from a potential liability to a tangible line item on the balance sheet. It is no longer just about the cost of a data breach.
