Discover NowDevice code phishing defeats even hardware security keys and passkeys by hijacking OAuth’s device authorization flow instead of stealing a password. It passes every awareness-training check because nothing about the login page is fake.
A finance employee joined a video call with his CFO and colleagues — every face was synthetic. The deepfake video call attack that moved $25.6 million in 15 transfers, and the five-control verification protocol that stops it even when the impersonation is perfect.

The ransomware ecosystem has fragmented past the point where group-based playbooks work: 146 active groups, 61 new since April 2025, and a 4.9-month average lifespan. Here’s why attribution is becoming less useful as a defensive input—and what behavioural detection and pre-attack intelligence look like instead.
Mergers and acquisitions can quietly expand your attack surface through forgotten domains, abandoned subdomains, legacy infrastructure, and unmanaged cloud assets. Learn how EASM helps uncover inherited cyber risks before attackers exploit them.
XSS2Shell (CVE-2026-64638) is a critical pre-authentication XSS vulnerability affecting WordPress login pages. This technical analysis explains the five-stage exploitation chain, the conditions required for RCE, mitigation guidance, and why discovering every exposed WordPress instance is essential.
Organizations typically discover only 62% of their external attack surface, leaving forgotten assets, shadow IT, and third-party infrastructure exposed to attackers. Learn why visibility matters and how continuous EASM reduces cyber risk.
Who dominated the ransomware landscape in Q2 2026? Discover how Qilin, TheGentlemen, Akira, DragonForce, and LockBit5 operated, what they targeted, and what Brandefense CTI predicts for the months ahead.
Modern spear phishing campaigns no longer rely on generic emails. Learn how attackers use OSINT, AI-generated content, deepfakes, and business email compromise (BEC) to target executives—and discover strategies to stop them before damage occurs.
Shadow IT has evolved from isolated policy violations into one of the largest enterprise attack surfaces. Discover how unauthorized SaaS applications, AI tools, OAuth integrations, and forgotten cloud assets create invisible risks and how continuous visibility helps security teams find them before attackers do.
