In the modern cybersecurity landscape, the traditional network perimeter has dissolved. Today, identity as a perimeter keeps getting stronger and stronger. As organizations accelerate cloud adoption and integrate AI systems, the number of digital identities, both human and non-human, has grown exponentially. Each credential, API key, and service account now represents a potential entry point

A zero-day attack leverages a previously unknown vulnerability — one that hasn’t been detected by developers or security experts. Because the vulnerability is unknown, there is typically no existing patch or fix, leaving systems temporarily vulnerable until a solution can be developed and deployed. The term “zero-day” refers to the fact that defenders have “zero

For decades, passwords have been the standard method for protecting access to systems and accounts. However, passwords can be compromised or stolen via tactics such as brute-force attacks, phishing attacks, and infostealer malware. The shift to multi-factor authentication (MFA) added another layer of security by requiring additional authentication to verify the user’s identity – some

In cybersecurity, “zero day” is frequently diluted and used as a catch-all for any unpatched vulnerability. This article breaks down the three mandatory elements of a true zero day, illustrating why the distinction between a zero day and a known, but unpatched, flaw is critical for effective defense. Getting This Cybersecurity Terminology Right is a Defensive

Secure by Design is a software development philosophy that treats security as a foundational requirement rather than an afterthought. Instead of building a product first and bolting on security fixes later, Secure by Design demands that security considerations are embedded into every stage of the development lifecycle — from architecture and design through coding, testing, deployment, and maintenance. The

In our industry, trust isn’t an abstract concept. It’s the currency of cybersecurity – the foundation of every partnership we build and every protection we provide. However, a recent independent, vendor-agnostic survey of 5,000 cybersecurity decision-makers across 17 countries reveals a stark reality: we’re facing a trust crisis. According to our findings in Sophos’ Cybersecurity Trust
