    [Webinar] How to Close Identity Gaps in 2026 Before AI Exploits Enterprise Risk

    In the rapid evolution of the 2026 threat landscape, a frustrating paradox has emerged for CISOs and security leaders: Identity programs are maturing, yet the risk is actually increasing.
    According to new research from the Ponemon Institute, hundreds of applications within the typical enterprise remain disconnected from centralized identity systems. These “dark

    New GPUBreach Attack Enables Full CPU Privilege Escalation via GDDR6 Bit-Flips

    New academic research has identified multiple RowHammer attacks against high-performance graphics processing units (GPUs) that could be exploited to escalate privileges and, in some cases, even take full control of a host.
    The efforts have been codenamed GPUBreach, GDDRHammer, and GeForge.
    GPUBreach goes a step further than GPUHammer, demonstrating for the first time that

    Multi-OS Cyberattacks: How SOCs Close a Critical Risk in 3 Steps

    Your attack surface no longer lives on one operating system, and neither do the campaigns targeting it. In enterprise environments, attackers move across Windows endpoints, executive MacBooks, Linux infrastructure, and mobile devices, taking advantage of the fact that many SOC workflows are still fragmented by platform. 
    For security leaders, this creates a
