Cybercriminals are no longer relying on static, easily detectable malware. The newest wave of cyberattacks is being powered by polymorphic malware — malicious code that constantly rewrites itself to evade detection. What used to be an advanced nation-state capability is now accessible to everyday threat actors, largely due to AI-assisted tooling
Two critical vulnerabilities — CVE-2025-55182 (React) and CVE-2025-66478 (Next.js) — introduce unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) through insecure deserialization in the React Server Components (RSC) "Flight" protocol. These flaws affect default production configurations and expose servers running React 19 or any framework implementing RSC. Root Cause: Insecure Deserialization in
The boardroom rarely sees the chaos inside a vulnerability queue. They don’t see the 10,000+ open findings, the weekly fire-drills, or the pressure to “patch faster.” What leadership does see is risk, cost, and business impact. And that is exactly where most Vulnerability Management (VM) programs struggle: they
The Middle East is entering one of the fastest cybersecurity growth periods in the world. Across the Gulf, North Africa, and broader MENA region, rapid digital transformation, cloud adoption, new data protection regulations, and escalating geopolitical threats are pushing organizations to rethink their security posture from the ground up. According
A sweeping supply-chain attack has rocked enterprise SaaS users: hackers linked to ShinyHunters claim to have stolen data from more than 200 companies by exploiting the customer-success platform Gainsight’s connection to Salesforce. This incident isn’t just another data breach — it’s a loud signal that one compromised vendor
Security teams rarely grow in a straight line. One quarter you’re a one-person army juggling tickets, alerts, and patch cycles… and suddenly you’ve got three new hires, a bigger attack surface, and a backlog of findings older than your interns. Scaling a VM program isn’t about hiring
It’s a scene every security team knows too well — dashboards glowing red, tickets piling up, and every CVE screaming critical. You patch, re-patch, and somehow still fall behind. The truth? Not everything marked “critical” is actually critical. And that’s where most teams don't understand. What the
What is rate-limiting? Well, Rate limiting is a process of limiting requests received by the networking device. It is used to control network traffic. Suppose a web server allows up to 20 requests per minute. If you try to send more than 20 requests, an error will be triggered. A
It stars as a normal day. The ops lead had meetings, the coffee was lukewarm, and the ticket queue kept growing. “We’ll take it next week,” someone said. Next week became next month. Then, the breach call came. That’s the story repeated across industries: a small operational delay,
Log4j is a logging framework for Java applications. It is a popular choice for developers looking for a simple and flexible logging solution. However, in the past Log4j has been found to be vulnerable to a number of security threats. The log4j library has recently been found to contain a
Every security team knows CVSS. It’s the standard baseline. Find a vulnerability. Check its CVSS score. Prioritize the ones with “critical” or “high.” Patch. Move on. But in 2025, relying only on CVSS is like navigating with an old map. The terrain has shifted. Attackers don’t just exploit
It usually begins the same way. A security team runs its routine scan late on a Friday evening ; servers humming, endpoints quietly reporting in. By Monday morning, the dashboard lights up like a Christmas tree. Hundreds of “critical” vulnerabilities. Some new, some still lingering from last month. The team sighs.
Imagine this: your company just finished a pentest. The report lands in your inbox, and it’s packed with Critical and High severity issues. The board is alarmed, your leadership team is nervous, and your security engineers are already drowning in Jira tickets. But as your team digs deeper, you
The Story We All Know It usually starts the same way: your company brings in a pentesting team, they spend weeks scanning, testing, and documenting. At the end, you get a heavy PDF report dropped in your inbox, dozens, maybe hundreds of findings. Some critical, some low, but all staring
Introduction: A Pentester’s Dilemma I’ve seen the same story play out again and again. An organization undergoes multiple security assessments web app tests, cloud audits, Android assessments, continuous vulnerability scans etc. Each assessment produces a report, but when is it time to act? The reports are scattered across
The Human Side of Security Overload Every security team has felt the endless cycle of vulnerability scans, audit reports, and compliance PDFs piling up in inboxes. Pages upon pages of findings that never quite connect to what actually matters: protecting people, systems, and the trust that holds businesses together. This
The Importance of Effective Vulnerability Management In today’s interconnected digital landscape, the importance of effective vulnerability management cannot be overstated. As organizations embrace advanced technologies to drive innovation and efficiency, they also open themselves up to a myriad of potential security risks. Vulnerabilities, whether arising from software flaws, misconfigurations,
Protecting sensitive data and systems has become a top priority for organisations of all sizes in today’s interconnected world. It is crucial to routinely evaluate the security of your systems to make sure they are safe and protected against potential attacks in light of the rising number of cyber
Network defenders and the cybersecurity industry must move their focus from the network’s edges and endpoints to the network’s interior. Inside the network, IT and security data collection is frequently abundant but underutilised. Rich data can be utilised to build “network normal” behaviour and serve as a foundation
Not only has the number of cyberattacks increased significantly over the last few decades, but they have also become more sophisticated. As a result, developing a cyber-resilient strategy is critical. Traditional security methods are insufficient to prevent data breaches in the event of a cyberattack. Cybercriminals have learned how to
Introduction Penetration testing, also referred to as “pentesting,” is a technique for assessing the security of a computer network, web application, or other system by simulating an attack by a malicious actor, or “penetration tester.” An attacker could exploit certain weaknesses, and a penetration test’s objective is to find
According to Security Researchers, every code update/push to your production server or application may bring new vulnerabilities into action. Because every time a code on the server changes, It affects the Application logic, Tech Stack, Dependencies and may bring infrastructural changes to the network where applications are hosted. This
A data breach is a revenue-killing monster that no business wants to deal with. The cost of that nightmare starts right away and doesn’t stop until the last piece of remediation is done. Risk of a data breach is rising in many industries, especially when it comes to cloud
Vulnerabilities are inevitable in today's digital landscape, making effective vulnerability management a critical aspect of maintaining a secure environment. From the moment a vulnerability is detected to its successful resolution, organizations need a streamlined process that ensures swift and thorough action. In this article, we'll guide
