Department of War Announces CSRMC to Strengthen US Cyber Frontlines
The Department of War has retired the Risk Management Framework (RMF) and introduced the Cybersecurity Risk Management Construct (CSRMC). Unlike RMF’s paperwork-heavy, point-in-time approvals, CSRMC emphasizes automation, continuous monitoring, and real-time risk defense. With its lifecycle and ten
How Regular CVE Scanning Reduces the Risk of RCE Attacks
Remote Code Execution (RCE) attacks remain one of the most dangerous cybersecurity threats, allowing attackers to take full control of systems and cause severe business damage. Regular CVE scanning is a key part of how to prevent RCE attacks, helping organizations identify unpatched vulnerabilities,
How Application Penetration Testing Prevents Real-World Breaches
Applications are prime targets for attackers, and breaches often start with a single vulnerability. Application penetration testing identifies, validates, and helps remediate these weaknesses before they are exploited. Modern PTaaS integrates with DevSecOps and CTEM, providing continuous validation,
6 Ways CISOs Are Using AI to Prioritize Critical Vulnerabilities
Just like AI is transforming business operations, it’s revolutionizing how CISOs handle vulnerabilities. AI-powered vulnerability prioritization helps reduce alert noise, focus on high-risk issues, and automate remediation, enabling security teams to act faster, stay ahead of threats, and strengthen
