Warum getrenntes Monitoring von IT und OT der größte operative blinde Fleck ist
Tags: monitoringDie Anlagen in der Produktionshalle zeigen Störungen, doch im IT-Monitoring ist alles im grünen Bereich. Netzwerk, Server, Bandbreite alles in Ordnung und keine Auffälligkeiten, und trotzdem stockt die Produktion. Was auf den ersten Blick nicht zusammenpasst, ist ein strukturelles Defizit.

Why Dark Web Monitoring Is No Longer Enough (And What Comes Next)
The problem with how we monitor identity risk today For years, dark web monitoring has been positioned as the frontline defense against compromised credentials and identity exposure. If your data showed up on the dark web, you got an alert. If it didn’t, you assumed you were safe. That model no longer reflects reality. The……

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.

SEO Poisoning Attack Uses Microsoft Binary to Install RMM Tool
New research has exposed a search engine poisoning campaign that delivers a trojanized TestDisk installer, abuses a Microsoft-signed binary for DLL sideloading, and silently deploys the ScreenConnect remote monitoring and management (RMM) client for hands-on keyboard access. The rogue domain copies the branding of the real open-source data recovery tool, presenting itself as “The Ultimate…

The gap exists because network tools operate at the packet level or network edge, while application attacks exploit vulnerabilities during code execution.
