ransomware payments: Stunning Risky Surge to $3.6M
Ransomware payments jumped 44% to an average $3.6M in 2025 as attackers shift to fewer, higher-value strikes—forcing organizations to weigh grim pragmatism against costly downtime, data leaks, and regulatory fallout.
zero trust Must-Have: Europe’s Best Security Playbook
Across Europe, zero trust has moved from IT theory to a regulatory expectation—policymakers now expect identity-centric controls, measurable resilience and risk reporting, so organizations must re-architect defenses or accept growing exposure. Start pragmatically: protect your highest-value assets with IAM, MFA and segmentation, measure risk reduction, and build privacy-preserving telemetry as you go.
machine learning and generative AI: Must-Have Cyber Risks
When a single ransomware strike toppled 158‑year‑old Passwork KNP and put 700 people out of work, it exposed how machine learning and generative AI have made powerful cyberattacks cheap and easy; consider this a wake‑up call to harden defenses, test backups, and treat cyber risk as core operational priority.
cloud collaboration: Must-Have Best Practices to Avoid Risk
Cloud collaboration makes teamwork effortless — and oversharing dangerously easy; learn practical, friendly best practices to keep files moving fast while cutting exposure, from short-lived links and MFA to data stewardship and automated audits.
mission success: Must-Have Infrastructure for Best Defense
When mission needs outpace aging IT and cloud, cyber, and AI demands collide, infrastructure becomes the strategic foundation for federal success—enabling agility, security, and trustworthy AI. Cloud Exchange 2025 made clear: treating infrastructure as a mission enabler, not a cost center, is the only way agencies can modernize, defend assets, and deliver better services.
SD-WAN and 5G: Must-Have Secure Federal Upgrade
Ready to future-proof federal IT? SD-WAN and 5G together promise resilient, secure, high-performance connectivity for remote missions and edge workloads — if agencies pair them with strong governance, zero-trust security and smart procurement.
cybersecurity executive order: Must-Have Best Guide
The June 6, 2025 cybersecurity executive order sets a clear — and urgent — blueprint for federal CISOs to accelerate zero‑trust, strengthen software supply chains, and tighten incident reporting while juggling legacy systems, budgets and mission continuity. Tune into our podcast briefing for practical steps, expert perspectives, and real-world playbooks to turn the EO from mandate into measurable security.
Jaguar Land Rover: Shocking Cyberattack Halts Production
Jaguar Land Rover says it’s working around the clock after a cyberattack that has paused production at its UK plants until at least 24 September, leaving workers idle and customers facing delays. The disruption is a stark reminder that modern cars—essentially computers on wheels—are only as resilient as the networks that power them.
Identity Governance and Administration: Stunning Best Guide
Who has the keys? Identity Governance and Administration puts that question to rest by giving you centralized visibility into who can access what, why they have it, and when to revoke it — so you can reduce risk, streamline onboarding, and prove compliance.
Zero trust: Must-Have Best Practices for SLED Security
As ransomware and credential-stuffing rise, SLED IT leaders are combining AI-driven zero trust with gamified training to tighten defenses and turn staff and students into an active line of defense.
insider breaches: Must-Have Best Protection Guide
Insider breaches are alarmingly common—61% of U.S. companies hit with average losses of $2.7M—so it’s time to stop treating them as fringe risks and adopt practical, people-centered defenses like least privilege, strong identity controls and behavioral monitoring.
Zscaler customer information: Exclusive Risky Breach
Last week’s Salesloft–Salesforce supply‑chain breach that exposed Zscaler customer data is a wake‑up call: attackers are increasingly moving laterally through trusted cloud integrations to harvest high‑value corporate data. Now is the time to map dependencies, tighten access, and embrace zero‑trust before the next incident.
Army Unified Network: Must-Have Platform for Best Resilience
Imagine a single, resilient Army network that fuses tactical grit with enterprise scale—delivered faster and smarter through digitized systems engineering like MBSE, digital twins, and DevSecOps. By turning paper plans into living models, the Army can test, secure, and evolve capabilities more quickly while keeping soldiers connected and mission-ready in contested environments.
reducing cyber risk: Must-Have Culture for Best Defense
Technology can only take you so far—attackers now target people and culture, not just systems. Building a stronger security culture with clear policies, consistent training, and aligned incentives is the simplest, most effective way to cut cyber risk.
optimizing cloud use: Must-Have Best Federal Resilience
Moving to the cloud was just the beginning — federal agencies are now optimizing configurations, identity controls, and automation to boost security, lower costs, and keep critical services running during outages or attacks. Treating resilience as an ongoing practice helps isolate failures faster, speed recovery, and better protect citizens.
Zero Trust Architecture Must-Have Best Practices
As threats outpace perimeter defenses, NIST’s practical Zero Trust guide shows how to move from assumed safety to continuous verification using everyday tools like MFA, IAM, micro‑segmentation, and telemetry. Start with high‑impact, low‑effort steps and treat Zero Trust as an ongoing program to cut risk without slowing your business.
AI Zero Trust Security: Must-Have Best Practices
AI Zero Trust turns verification and least‑privilege into a proactive, adaptive defense that spots, predicts, and responds to threats in real time—reducing friction for legitimate users while tightening security. Do it right by investing in clean telemetry, explainable models, privacy safeguards, and human oversight to avoid bias and stay ahead of adversaries.
AI Zero Trust Security: Must-Have, Risky Reality
AI-powered Zero Trust promises smarter, faster defenses—adaptive risk scoring, real-time responses, and less analyst fatigue—but also introduces risks like biased models, data poisoning, and tricky governance challenges. Balancing those trade-offs with quality data, transparent policies, and human oversight is essential to make AI Zero Trust both effective and trustworthy.
