Did you know that password resets can cost companies a whopping $70 each, and with stolen credentials involved in nearly 45% of breaches, it's clear that corporate security is vulnerable to attack.
Artemis Secures $70M to Deploy AI Agents Against Cyber Threats
Meet Artemis, a game-changing startup that's using AI agents to revolutionize the way organizations detect and investigate cyber threats - and they've just secured $70 million in funding to make it happen. By ditching outdated security systems, Artemis is pioneering a bold new approach to threat detection with AI-driven agents that span cloud, identity, and endpoints.
Zero Trust Fortifies Identity Security Against Credential Exploits
Stolen credentials are a hacker's dream come true, leading to easy privilege escalation and full network compromise - but what if you could lock down your identities and shut the door on these threats? An identity-first Zero Trust approach is the powerful solution you need to fortify your security.
Biometric Authentication Fortifies Against Stolen Credential Attacks
In a world where stolen credentials can turn authentication systems against us, traditional multifactor authentication can become just another vulnerability to exploit. Biometric authentication offers a powerful solution, fortifying defenses against stolen credential attacks by making it virtually impossible for hackers to replicate your unique identity.
Securing Identities in a Decentralized Workforce
In today's decentralized workforce, the traditional network perimeter has disappeared, leaving us with a pressing question: who's responsible for securing identities when and where work happens? The shift to hybrid work has created a diffuse and distributed perimeter, where users and applications are scattered across various networks, devices, and clouds, making it harder for traditional security models to keep up.
Oasis Bolsters Agentic Security with $120M Series B
As AI adoption surges, a critical question emerges: how can organizations safeguard their security and integrity while scaling AI agents and automated systems?

CrowdStrike Stunning SGNL Deal Offers Best Identity Shield
CrowdStrike’s $740M acquisition of SGNL flips identity security from login to continuous authorization—pairing SGNL’s real‑time identity signals with CrowdStrike’s telemetry to fix identity hygiene and curb misuse by service accounts, machine IDs and AI agents. It’s a decisive bet that identity, not just authentication, is the new frontline of cyber defense.
CrowdStrike Must-Have Deal Secures Identity Effortlessly
CrowdStrike’s $740M SGNL move is a must-have play in identity security—shifting the fight from “who are you?” to “what are you allowed to do?” as runaway machine identities like API keys and AI agents open easy paths for attackers. The goal: give enterprises the visibility and governance to find and lock down forgotten or over‑privileged non‑human accounts before they cause breaches.
Enterprise Credentials: Stunning Threats, Critical Fixes
One believable I thought it was from IT can hand attackers the keys to your company — enterprise credentials are now the battleground, from hard‑coded device logins to leaked cloud secrets. Rotation, least‑privilege access, and moving secrets out of code with vaults and managed identities aren’t optional anymore; they’re your frontline defenses.
IGA tool: Must-Have Free Boost for Identity Security
Think of an IGA tool as a free, high-impact lever that turns messy access lists into a clear map of who can do what—so a careless click doesn’t become a crisis. For small and midsize teams it delivers fewer misconfigurations, faster incident response, and compliance-ready controls without the enterprise price tag.
phishing-as-a-service: Stunning Risky Threat
Think a thief who never touches the lock — VoidProxy is a phishing-as-a-service that intercepts live logins, relays MFA and session tokens in real time, and lets attackers quietly hijack Microsoft and Google accounts. Learn why layered defenses, hardware-backed keys, and session risk detection are now essential to stop these fast, stealthy takeovers.
Active Directory: Risky Stunning Defaults Endanger Hospitals
When attackers used Kerberoasting to cripple Ascension, Senator Wyden warned Microsoft’s defaults may be putting patients at risk — sparking an FTC probe and a wider debate over vendor responsibility versus hospital readiness. It’s a wake-up call: better identity hygiene and safer out‑of‑the‑box settings could be the difference between uninterrupted care and real harm.
