Router Security Hardening Steps for 2026: From Default Credential Audits to Automated Firmware Risk Monitoring
Network edge devices are now among the most targeted entry points in cyberattacks. Recent intelligence shows that threat actors are focusing more on routers, firewalls, and VPN concentrators than on end-user machines, a trend highlighted in multiple 2025 threat intelligence reports. For IT teams responsible for Dutch enterprise environments, that shift makes a structured and…

In 2026, Transform a Recovery-based MVE Into an MVDE That Can Create “Unaffected” Digital Business
In March 2026, the CyberStrikeAI campaign used fully autonomous AI engines to breach over 600 FortiGate firewalls across 55 countries. Let that sink in. 600 firewalls, 55 countries. This is the age of AI. The attack speed is impossible to match with human defenders. The only defense against AI-powered attacks is to eliminate the path……

Why Traditional Security Tools Fail-and How Unified AI Platforms Solve the Problem
When More Tools Create More Problems For years, organizations have approached cybersecurity with a simple mindset-add more tools to strengthen defenses. Firewalls, endpoint solutions, intrusion detection systems, and monitoring platforms have all been layered together to create what appears to be a comprehensive security posture. Yet, despite this growing investment, security outcomes have not improved…

Curity looks to reinvent IAM with runtime authorization for AI agents
Multiple approaches to agent security: Today, agent security falls into one of several camps, which include increasingly inadequate inline approaches such as API gateways and web application firewalls (WAFs), and out-of-band analysis systems that infer intent by analyzing agent behavior against a baseline.Curity’s Access Intelligence, by contrast, is a self-hosted microservice that acts as a…
