For any cloud service provider (CSP) aiming to work with the U.S. federal government, understanding the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is due diligence. This government-wide initiative standardizes the assessment, authorization, and monitoring of cloud products for security.

Your vulnerability management solution is the fuel that powers the rest of your strategic cybersecurity objectives. Put good in, get good out. That's why the vulnerability management tool you choose matters. And there are a lot of features that are necessary to protect a modern environment today that weren't on the list before. Done right, VM provides a stable foundation for cyber hygiene and regulatory compliance.

AI coding assistants are transforming the way developers work. With a prompt and a click, entire blocks of logic appear, boilerplate fades into the background, and velocity shoots up. But as anyone who’s integrated these tools into their daily routine can tell you, increased speed can come with increased risk. Vulnerabilities sneak in. Fixes pile up. And somewhere in the blur, developer trust begins to erode.

In the age of remote working, businesses and freelancers enjoy the freedom of working from anywhere, but this freedom could also come at a cost. Phishing, hacking, and ransomware are all potential problems businesses and individuals face. To prevent these threats, it's crucial to have awareness of remote access security, the vulnerabilities we face in the age of remote work, and what tools are available to prevent these threats.

Traditional IT environments remain vulnerable when scans are done infrequently or manually. Static scanning misses shadow IT ignores transient devices, and often overlooks systems not regularly scheduled for scans. Take the example of a remote office server that was deployed temporarily for a project. If it’s not included in regular scanning schedules, it might run unpatched and unnoticed for months—an easy target for attackers.

Vulnerability management is not just about spotting weaknesses. It is about fixing them effectively and staying ahead of attackers. And the urgency has never been clearer: the 2025 Verizon DBIR shows a 34% increase in attackers exploiting vulnerabilities to gain initial access and cause breaches compared to last year’s report. So, how can you be sure you are on the right track? Are you reducing risk efficiently? Are critical vulnerabilities being remediated before they are exploited?

The GDPR has compelled a shift in how companies manage personal data. At the heart of GDPR is the requirement to safeguard customer data from unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. GDPR vulnerability assessment is a basic requirement, whether you’re based in the EU or not. If you process the data of EU residents, this assessment isn’t optional.
