The Future of AEC: Trends Defining 2025

The architecture, engineering, and construction sector is on a promising path forward. For one thing, according to ConstructConnect’s February 2025 Project Stress Index, construction project abandonments dropped 14.7% in early 2025. Even so, trouble is brewing. Banks have pulled back on construction lending, and tariffs and workforce shortages threaten to drive up costs and extend project timelines. As a consequence,…

Ransomware Risks for Food & Beverage: Key Lessons from Recent Attacks

The food and beverage industry has become a prime target of cyberattackers. In fact, the industry is now the seventh most targeted sector for ransomware in the United States, with over 160 incidents reported in the food and agriculture sector in 2023 alone. But food and beverage company leaders can learn from recent incidents to strengthen security and sidestep costly…

Cybersecurity Best Practices for Food & Beverage Companies

Food and beverage companies face a unique cybersecurity challenge. They must manage increasing digital connectivity and rising cyber threats–along with their peers in other industries–while at the same time protecting food safety. Now, with cyberattacks growing more sophisticated and frequent, robust security measures have become critical for safeguarding both operations and consumers. But best practices can help. The State of…

The Rise of Hyperautomation: What You Need to Know

Traditional SOAR tools struggle to keep up with the growing complexity of cybersecurity threats, such as ransomware and breaches caused by compromised credentials. These incidents can take months to detect and cost organizations millions. To address these challenges, MSSPs like Xantrion leverage hyperautomation and human expertise to bridge SOAR’s limitations, delivering more effective protection and resilience for businesses.

Managing the Growing Challenge of Ignored SOC Alerts

Security operations centers (SOCs) face mounting pressure to protect organizations from cyber threats, yet a disturbing trend has emerged: the majority of security alerts are ignored. This growing challenge threatens to undermine the effectiveness of security operations and leaves organizations vulnerable to attacks that might otherwise be prevented. The Scale of the Problem: Ignored Alerts According to recent research by…

Cybersecurity in Healthcare: Protecting Patients and Systems

Healthcare cybersecurity is focused on ensuring the availability of medical services by protecting electronic health records (EHR), medical devices, clinical systems, and patient data from cyber attacks. It includes securing every potential endpoint, from internet-connected insulin pumps to patient portals and billing platforms.

When Security Tools Become Security Risks: The Case for Unified Cybersecurity Platforms

If your organization is like many, you’ve implemented different security tools over the years. The result is a fragmented system with siloed components that address specific threats but operate in isolation. This disjointed approach forces your security team to switch between multiple dashboards and interfaces, slowing response times and creating opportunities for threats to slip through the gaps.

The Rising Ransomware Threat: Why 24/7 Security Operations are No Longer Optional

With the number of successful attacks growing, new hacker groups are getting into the ransomware game. While established groups like LockBit maintain dominance, emerging hacking groups like PLAY, 8Base, and Akira have intensified their campaigns. Smaller ransomware groups now execute 31% of all attacks — up from 25% last year — illustrating the spread of accessible attack tools.

MFA Bypass Attacks: What SMBs Need to Know

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) bypass attacks — once only available to highly sophisticated hacker teams with advanced tools — are now available to anyone with a nefarious idea and a Bitcoin. And defending against these attacks requires understanding how criminals circumvent MFA and the steps you can take to thwart these breaches. Here’s what you need to know. The $50 Problem…
