Diagnostic Fatigue: Why the Visibility Industry Just Hit Its Limit
For more than a decade, cybersecurity has sold one product under a thousand names: visibility. SIEM for events. EDR for endpoints. ASM for the attack surface. CNAPP for the cloud. Exposure management for everything else. Every category promised the same thing: if we could just see enough, we would finally secure enough. The visibility industry…The…

Microsoft’s Windows Recall still allows silent data extraction
Exploitation risk: The barrier to weaponizing this technique is lower than Microsoft’s security messaging would suggest, Hagenah said.”They only need code running in the user’s context and a way to reuse the authorized Recall session,” he said. “That is a much lower bar than many people would assume from Microsoft’s security messaging.”While Recall’s limitation to…

Ransomware Groups Are Actively Disabling Your EDR Before You Even Know It
Most ransomware discussions focus on encryption, downtime, and recovery. But the real story is what happens before any of that becomes visible. Recent reporting from Cyber Security News highlights how attackers are increasingly using “EDR killers” to quietly disable endpoint protection tools early in the attack chain. By the time ransomware is executed, the systems…

EDR Killers Broaden Ransomware Tactics, ESET Warns
Ransomware gangs are rapidly expanding their use of EDR killers, moving beyond vulnerable drivers to a broader mix of scripts, anti”‘rootkits, and driverless techniques. The company’s latest telemetry-backed study tracks almost 90 distinct EDR killers actively used in the wild. It warns that these tools have become a predictable, standard stage in modern ransomware operations. In…

MITRE Gave XDR a Perfect Score. Then the Analyst Had to Investigate Alone
XDR detects threats. It does not investigate them. 80% of analyst time is investigation, and XDR provides zero autonomous capability. Here’s the structural analysis.

GreyNoise Launches C2 Detection for Exploited Edge Devices
GreyNoise has introduced a new capability, C2 Detection, to identify compromised edge devices such as firewalls, routers, and VPN systems assets that are increasingly targeted but often lack visibility in traditional security tools. Unlike endpoints, these devices rarely generate alerts when exploited. There are no EDR agents, minimal logging, and almost no obvious signs of compromise.…

5 Steps to break free from alert fatigue and build resilient security operations
2. Prioritize outcomes over ticket volume : Stop focusing on how many alerts are cleared. This may be a metric for a better understanding of where automation or headcount are necessary but prioritize outcomes. Instead, the right questions are: How quickly did you contain a threat? Did we disrupt business operations or keep recovery swift and effective? A practical, outcome-driven SOC measures: Dwell time: How long before a threat was neutralized? Mean Time to Contain: How quickly…
