Secure Access: The Persistent Vulnerability
The traditional security model of relying solely on identity verification is inadequate for today's distributed workforce, as it fails to assess the risk of the specific device and context used for access. Attackers exploit this flaw by using stolen credentials from untrusted devices, highlightin...

Rethink Zero Trust for Modern Workloads
Static credentials pose a major cloud security risk by creating long-lived vulnerabilities, but a new model replaces them with short-lived, cryptographically verifiable tokens to enhance trust. This approach leverages Workload Identity Federation and OpenID Connect, allowing workloads to authenti...

Device Security Must Share the Load Beyond Identity
Identity verification alone is no longer sufficient for security, as AI-powered phishing, credential theft, and session hijacking allow attackers to bypass authentication and steal session tokens even after MFA succeeds. Zero Trust frameworks like NIST 800-207 warn against relying on implied trus...

Account Takeover Threats Are Rising: Key Prevention Tips
Account takeover attacks are surging as attackers exploit the complexity of managing identities across cloud services, BYOD policies, and remote environments, often by compromising legitimate accounts rather than infrastructure. Attackers bypass traditional defenses like MFA through sophisticated...
