In SaaS security conversations, “misconfiguration” and “vulnerability” are often used interchangeably. But they’re not the same thing. And misunderstanding that distinction can quietly create real exposure. This confusion isn’t just semantics. It reflects a deeper misunderstanding of the shared responsibility model, particularly in SaaS environments where the line between vendor and customer

Why do SOC teams still drown in alerts even after spending big on security tools? False positives pile up, stealthy threats slip through, and critical incidents get buried in the noise. Top CISOs have realized the solution isn’t adding more and more tools to SOC workflows but giving analysts the speed and visibility they need to catch real attacks before they cause damage.  Here’s how

Cybersecurity researchers have lifted the veil on a widespread malicious campaign that's targeting TikTok Shop users globally with an aim to steal credentials and distribute trojanized apps. "Threat actors are exploiting the official in-app e-commerce platform through a dual attack strategy that combines phishing and malware to target users," CTM360 said. "The core tactic involves a deceptive

SonicWall said it's actively investigating reports to determine if there is a new zero-day vulnerability following reports of a spike in Akira ransomware actors in late July 2025. "Over the past 72 hours, there has been a notable increase in both internally and externally reported cyber incidents involving Gen 7 SonicWall firewalls where SSLVPN is enabled," the network security vendor said in a

A newly disclosed set of security flaws in NVIDIA's Triton Inference Server for Windows and Linux, an open-source platform for running artificial intelligence (AI) models at scale, could be exploited to take over susceptible servers. "When chained together, these flaws can potentially allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to gain complete control of the server, achieving remote code execution

Cybersecurity researchers are calling attention to a new wave of campaigns distributing a Python-based information stealer called PXA Stealer. The malicious activity has been assessed to be the work of Vietnamese-speaking cybercriminals who monetize the stolen data through a subscription-based underground ecosystem that automates the resale and reuse via Telegram APIs, according to a joint

Malware isn’t just trying to hide anymore—it’s trying to belong. We’re seeing code that talks like us, logs like us, even documents itself like a helpful teammate. Some threats now look more like developer tools than exploits. Others borrow trust from open-source platforms, or quietly build themselves out of AI-written snippets. It’s not just about being malicious—it’s about being believable.

Some of the most devastating cyberattacks don’t rely on brute force, but instead succeed through stealth. These quiet intrusions often go unnoticed until long after the attacker has disappeared. Among the most insidious are man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, where criminals exploit weaknesses in communication protocols to silently position themselves between two unsuspecting parties

Everyone’s an IT decision-maker now. The employees in your organization can install a plugin with just one click, and they don’t need to clear it with your team first. It’s great for productivity, but it’s a serious problem for your security posture. When the floodgates of SaaS and AI opened, IT didn’t just get democratized, its security got outpaced. Employees are onboarding apps faster than

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a nascent Android remote access trojan (RAT) called PlayPraetor that has infected more than 11,000 devices, primarily across Portugal, Spain, France, Morocco, Peru, and Hong Kong. "The botnet's rapid growth, which now exceeds 2,000 new infections per week, is driven by aggressive campaigns focusing on Spanish and French speakers, indicating a strategic
