For years, the cybersecurity world has been conditioned to view ransomware as a direct assault on data availability. The classic attack is simple and brutal: encrypt servers and files, then demand a ransom for the decryption key. But as organizations have improved their endpoint detection and response (EDR) and backup strategies, attackers are evolving. By mid-2025, a new and far more insidious threat has emerged: CI/CD-Cryptor, a class of ransomware that doesn’t just encrypt your Read more…

In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, the AI supply chain has emerged as a new and critical battleground for cybersecurity. As organizations increasingly leverage third-party, pre-trained models from public hubs like Hugging Face, they inherit a complex web of dependencies that can be exploited by sophisticated threat actors. The hypothetical “ModelMeld” vulnerability, assigned CVE-2025-13370, serves as a stark warning of this emerging threat, illustrating how a compromised AI model can become a Trojan Read more…

The Security Operations Center (SOC) is the command center of the modern enterprise. It’s where we fight the daily battle against a relentless barrage of cyber threats. But in the age of AI-powered attacks and ever-expanding attack surfaces, the traditional SOC is struggling to keep up. The problem is alert fatigue. Our security tools are generating so many alerts that our human analysts can’t possibly investigate them all. We’re drowning in data, and we’re missing Read more…

The serverless revolution has promised to free us from the shackles of infrastructure management. But as we’ve flocked to services like AWS Lambda and Azure Functions, we’ve inadvertently created a new and insidious type of security risk: the “LambdaChain” exploit. This isn’t a vulnerability in the traditional sense. It’s not a bug in the code, but a flaw in the architecture. It’s a chain of seemingly innocuous IAM misconfigurations that, when linked together, can lead Read more…

We’ve been told that passkeys are the future of authentication. And for good reason. They’re built on the FIDO2/WebAuthn standard, they’re resistant to phishing, and they’re backed by the biggest names in tech. But as we’ve learned time and time again in the security world, there’s no such thing as a silver bullet. As passkey adoption reaches critical mass in 2025, attackers are shifting their focus. They’re no longer trying to brute-force their way into Read more…

You’ve done everything right. You’ve generated your Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), you’re scanning it for vulnerabilities, and you’re staying on top of the latest CVEs. But then the alert comes in: a critical vulnerability has been found in a transitive dependency, a library that’s three or four levels deep in your supply chain. Your SBOM is a mess. Now what? This is the new reality of software development. Our applications are built on a Read more…

The factory floor has long been a world apart from the corporate IT network. The operational technology (OT) that powers our industrial control systems (ICS) has traditionally been isolated, air-gapped, and managed by a specialized team of engineers. But in the era of the “smart factory,” that is all changing. The convergence of IT and OT, fueled by technologies like private 5G, is creating a new and dangerous class of vulnerabilities. In this case study, Read more…

The quantum apocalypse is coming. It may not be next week, or even next year, but the day is fast approaching when a quantum computer will be able to break the encryption that protects our most sensitive data. For those of us in the security world, this is not a matter of “if,” but “when.” And for the data that’s being harvested today, it’s already too late. ### The “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” Threat Imagine Read more…

In the world of Kubernetes, we’ve become adept at building walls. We create Pod Security Policies, implement network policies, and use service meshes to control the flow of traffic. But what if there’s a threat that doesn’t just bypass these walls, but tunnels underneath them? This is the danger of “eBPF-Escape,” a hypothetical but all-too-plausible vulnerability (CVE-2025-21800) that strikes at the very heart of the modern cloud-native stack: the Linux kernel. As we’ll see, the Read more…

For years, the cybersecurity world has been locked in a familiar battle with ransomware. We encrypt our files, segment our networks, and deploy sophisticated Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions. But what if the attackers change the game? What if they stop targeting our data and start targeting our ability to create value? Enter “CI/CD-Cryptor,” a new and devastating class of ransomware that’s emerging in the mid-2025 threat landscape. This isn’t your average file-encrypting malware. Read more…
