“Organizations treat the annual pentest like a fire drill—a scheduled compliance checkbox where a static report sits on a shelf for 12 months while engineering ships dozens of microservices, cloud drift, and unreviewed API endpoints into production.â€

Read Announcement on DEVOPSdigest“I shredded them. They were not in a very good security posture... They spent probably a half a million dollars to get patching and get through these things because they were trying to go through a merger and acquisition.â€
Read Feature on The Register“The 24-hour reporting clock completely kills manual triage. Taking three days to figure out if you're exposed to a zero-day is a luxury nobody has anymore... This takes vulnerability reporting right out of the legal department and drops it directly into live security ops.â€
Read Feature on CSO Online“Penetration tester Joe Brinkley exploited BlueKeep during an M&A assessment to access systems across 2,500 workstations, highlighting how unpatched legacy infrastructure completely voids defensive investments.â€
Read Feature on LavX News“Inference endpoints are live, production attack surfaces... If providers want to protect their models from extraction, they need to defend them at the application layer with real behavioral telemetry, sybil defenses, and output controls...â€
Read Commentary on CSO“It creates a glaring issue: going from a low-level datacenter to a top-secret classified environment. Opening that firewall rule allowed anyone on the low-level VPN access into production.â€

Read Article on CSO“Shadow AI operates at the application layer, completely bypassing traditional infrastructure inventory tools.â€
Read Feature on Help Net Security“We're seeing a recurring pattern where attackers leverage reliable arbitrary kernel write primitives to bypass traditional hardening. When a PoC can consistently overwrite /etc/passwd or hijack su logic, it's a turnkey solution for full system compromise.â€
Read Feature on SC Media“Inference endpoints and supply chain pipelines are expanding faster than defensive telemetry. Organizations must transition from periodic check-box testing to continuous threat exposure management.â€
