Most compromises do not rely on advanced techniques or cutting-edge tools. Cyber threat actors scan the internet looking for exposed, well-known software vulnerabilities to exploit. Basic security failures enable most compromises and organizations can reduce their risk by addressing these underlying weaknesses and prioritizing vulnerabilities for action based on the risk they pose. The CISA Vulnerability Review provides organizations with critical insights into the root causes of insecure softwa

CISA has added six new vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation.

The CERT Coordination Center (CERT/CC) has disclosed two unpatched vulnerabilities in Kaltura's HTML5 video player library that allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to read arbitrary files from a server and execute code on it. The flaws, tracked as CVE-2026-19913 and CVE-2026-19912, both stem from the same unsafe deserialization in the mwEmbedLoader.php endpoint of the mwEmbed player

The SOC we've always known was built around a model that guarantees most of the alert queue will never receive analyst review. There's never time. In a traditional SOC, the typical progression follows a well-known pattern: an alert arrives; a detection engine assigns a severity score. The issue then waits for a human to decide if it should escalate to an investigation. Given the volume of

The adversary-in-the-middle (AitM) phishing service lowers the barrier to entry for actors to create attacks and steal more than just user credentials.
