    Webinar: What the Riskiest SOC Alerts Go Unanswered – and How Radiant Security Can Help

    Why do the Riskiest SOC Alerts Go Unanswered?
    Security operations teams are drowning in alerts. But the real problem isn’t always alert volume; it’s the blind spots. The most dangerous alerts are the ones no one is investigating.
    A recent report from The Hacker News examined why certain high-risk alert categories – WAF, DLP, OT/IoT, dark web intelligence, and supply chain signals- consistently

    ⚡ Weekly Recap: Linux Rootkit, macOS Crypto Stealer, WebSocket Skimmers and More

    Rough Monday.
    Somebody poisoned a trusted download again, somebody else turned cloud servers into public housing, and a few crews are still getting into boxes with bugs that should’ve died years ago — the same old holes, same lazy access paths, same “how the hell is this still open” feeling. One report this week basically reads like a guy tripped over root access by accident and decided to stay
