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…
