Why unmanaged RDP is risky at enterprise scale (and how to regain control)
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is the path of least resistance for gaining access to another Windows machine. It is built into the OS, it is free, and almost every admin and help desk technician already knows how to fire up mstsc.exe and type in a hostname-as simple as that. That convenience is exactly why RDP is everywhere inside corporate networks.
Is "Assume Breach" No Longer Enough?
For more than a decade, security strategies have been shaped by the principle of "assume breach." But what if the next evolution of cybersecurity requires a different assumption? In this clip, Rik Ferguson discusses why organizations should begin building and testing security architectures based on the expectation that attackers will increasingly be autonomous and non-human, and why defenses must evolve accordingly.
Only £20,000 for a Booth at Infosec
Cybersecurity conference costs reach another level when an exhibition stand gets pitched as only £20,000. For cybersecurity vendors considering major industry events, the price raises a rather important question about what they receive in return for the investment.
Closing the Gap: What Actually Turns Agent Telemetry Into Evidence
An AI coding agent's own telemetry answers real questions well: which agents are running, what they invoked, the shape of a session, whether a run looks abnormal. It cannot, no matter how completely it is instrumented, stand alone as evidence. The agent under review is also the party writing the record. The record shows an attempt, not an outcome. And the vocabulary for describing any of it is still being written in public, one unstable commit at a time.
ASM Has a Silent C, and It Stands for Change Management
If you run a security team, a large part of the job is responding to change. Something in the environment moves, and you have to work out whether risk moved with it, and how quickly you need to act. Those changes arrive from two different directions, external and internal. Of course, we’re all familiar with the external ones. A new CVE drops, a proof of concept goes public, a ransomware group starts naming your sector. The internal ones start inside your own organization.
Pikabot Malware: Delivery Methods, Evasion, and Impact
Originating in early 2023, Pikabot emerged as a significant malware loader. Over the past year, ThreatLabz has diligently monitored its development and operational methods. Notably, there was a surge in Pikabot’s usage in the latter part of 2023, attributed to a BlackBasta ransomware affiliate adopting Pikabot post the FBI-led Qakbot takedown. However, Pikabot’s activity ceased shortly after Christmas 2023, with version 1.1.19 marking its endpoint.
The Personal Injury Claims Process in Georgia Explained by a Roswell Lawyer
According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, roughly 95% of personal injury cases settle before ever reaching trial - yet the decisions made in the first hours and days after an injury often shape whether that settlement reflects the full extent of what a victim lost. Georgia's legal landscape adds its own layer of complexity: state-specific deadlines, comparative fault rules, and insurance dynamics that can quietly erode a claim before it gains any traction.
When Should You Hire a Paramus Personal Injury Attorney?
According to the Insurance Research Council, injured claimants who hired an attorney received settlements 3.5 times higher on average than those who negotiated on their own - yet a significant portion of injury victims still attempt to handle their claims without legal representation. That gap isn't accidental. Insurance companies employ teams of adjusters and attorneys whose primary function is to reduce what they pay out, and they're most effective against claimants who don't fully understand the process they're navigating.
Understanding Personal Injury Law and Your Legal Rights in Lakewood
According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, roughly 95% of personal injury cases settle before ever reaching trial - yet the decisions made in the first 48 hours after an accident often determine whether that settlement reflects the actual harm suffered or falls dramatically short of it. For residents navigating an injury in Lakewood, that gap between informed and uninformed claimants is rarely theoretical. Insurance adjusters move quickly, evidence disappears, and deadlines that feel distant have a way of arriving without warning.
