Cloud-hosted security vendors upgrade on their own schedule — your configuration doesn’t always survive the transition. A Fortinet EMS incident this week shows what proactive managed security monitoring looks like when it matters most.
AI can write code faster than any developer. The question is whether anyone is checking what it actually produced — and whether it is secure, not just functional. Si Futures ran penetration tests against their own services to find out.
What happens when the 6am standby call sounds completely legitimate — but something still feels wrong? Nicholas Broderick on the verification process that protects MSP engineers and clients when AI voice cloning makes impersonation almost indistinguishable from the real thing.
The most common route into an SME network is not a sophisticated attack — it is a firewall setting that was wrong from the start, or that drifted over time. Nicholas Broderick explains how benchmarking against CIS standards turns assumption into accountability.
