In a technology-driven world where innovation and speed define business success, organizations are constantly seeking ways to stay ahead. One of the most popular methodologies enabling this drive is DevOps, which blends software development and IT operations into a unified, streamlined process. It facilitates faster releases, continuous improvement, and improved cross-team collaboration. However, amid this efficiency-focused transformation, an essential element often gets neglected—security. Many DevOps implementations prioritize speed and delivery, unintentionally creating gaps that can expose organizations to serious risks. As the threat landscape becomes more sophisticated and relentless, incorporating…

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have long been key strategies for organizations seeking growth, expansion, and competitive advantage. While these transactions often make headlines and trigger celebrations in boardrooms, they also introduce a range of cybersecurity risks that can easily be overlooked or underestimated. In today’s threat landscape, where data breaches and ransomware attacks are frequent and costly, organizations must look beyond financial and operational metrics to evaluate the hidden security implications of a merger. Cybersecurity should no longer be viewed as a secondary concern in M&A. Instead, it must be…

Password spraying is a stealthy and persistent cybersecurity threat that often evades traditional detection systems. Unlike brute-force attacks that target a single account with a rapid succession of password guesses, password spraying takes a more patient and calculated approach. It targets many different user accounts using a small list of the most commonly used passwords. This technique allows attackers to avoid triggering account lockout policies that are typically set after a number of failed login attempts on the same account. Because of its subtle and distributed nature, password spraying is…

The cloud has become an indispensable part of modern business operations. Enterprises, governments, and startups alike rely on cloud platforms to deliver services, store data, and scale with ease. But as adoption grows, so do the security concerns. Cyber attackers have adapted quickly, shifting their attention to cloud-native environments. Misconfigurations, poor access control, and shadow IT all contribute to vulnerabilities that can lead to one of the worst outcomes: unauthorized shell access. When attackers gain shell access to cloud systems, they essentially acquire remote control over the infrastructure. From this…

As digital transformation accelerates globally, more businesses are shifting core infrastructure, applications, and sensitive data to cloud platforms. This trend is driven by the desire for cost efficiency, scalability, remote accessibility, and operational speed. However, with these advantages comes a set of new security challenges. The decentralization of data and systems introduces a complex web of risks—ranging from unauthorized access to insider threats and compliance violations. The concern is not simply whether the cloud is secure—cloud platforms can be highly secure—but whether a specific cloud provider has implemented the necessary…
