Dynamic Objects in Active Directory: The Stealthy Threat
Active Directory’s “dynamic objects” feature offers attackers a perfect evasion cloak. These objects automatically self-destruct without a trace, so they allow adversaries to bypass quotas, pollute access lists, and persist in the cloud, leaving forensic investigators with nothing to analyze. Key takeaways The threat: Dynamic objects self-delete without leaving any traces, or “tombstones” in AD…

Why Most Breaches Happen After Launch: SaaS Security Testing Best Practices
As SaaS platforms expand in complexity, security cannot stop at deployment. Post-launch environments introduce new integrations, user access changes, and configuration updates that significantly increase risk exposure. Without continuous validation and monitoring, vulnerabilities can quietly develop into major breaches. A structured and ongoing security strategy, supported by experts like StrongBox IT, helps organisations reduce these……
