Millions of organizations are unknowingly leaving doors open to cyberattacks by exposing sensitive systems to the Internet. This report finds that overlooked access points are driving real-world breaches and making security harder to control. According to Intruder’s 2026 Attack Surface Management Index, organizations face increasing risk because more systems and services are exposed to the…

Microsoft is tackling one of Windows’ most frustrating issues, broken driver updates, with a new cloud‑powered solution that fixes problems before users even notice. This new Cloud‑Initiated Driver Recovery feature can automatically roll back faulty drivers, turning what used to be a manual headache into a seamless, behind‑the‑scenes repair. Microsoft mentioned that faulty or low‑quality…

Microsoft has released the May 2026 Patch Tuesday updates for Windows 11. This month, Microsoft has fixed a total of 138 security flaws in Windows, Office, Microsoft Edge, Azure, .NET and Visual Studio, Copilot Chat, GitHub Copilot, and Microsoft 365 Copilot. On the quality and experience updates front, the KB5089548 update (26H1) brings enhancements to…

A newly discovered Linux flaw dubbed “Dirty Frag” is raising alarms among security experts as it enables attackers to escalate minor breaches into full system takeovers quickly. This vulnerability highlights how even limited access can quickly spiral into complete control of critical systems. Last week, security researcher Hyunwoo Kim disclosed the vulnerability (dubbed “Dirty Frag”)…

Microsoft is phasing out an old authentication method for mobile email, which signals another major step toward stricter, modern security in Exchange Online. Organizations relying on certificate-based access via ActiveSync must now prepare for a transition to Entra ID–based authentication ahead of the 2026 deadline. Direct Exchange ActiveSync certificate-based authentication is being phased out because…

A 2026 Forbes article reported that the previous year’s credential-theft wave exposed 2.86 billion compromised credentials, with infostealers tied to roughly 3.9 million infected machines and 347.5 million stolen logins; business cloud and authentication services accounted for more than 30% of targeted data, while sensitive corporate access points such as Active Directory/ADFS and RDP frequently…

Microsoft is increasingly making security‑critical decisions on behalf of organizations and not through policy, but through defaults. The “Require compliant device or hybrid-joined device” Conditional Access template is one of the clearest examples of security without a rulebook. The no-brainer policy that gets complicated fast Microsoft’s Require compliant or hybrid-joined device Conditional Access (CA) template seems like…

Microsoft has announced the public preview of cert-manager support for Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes. This new feature simplifies security by streamlining certificate issuance, renewal, and trust management across distributed Kubernetes clusters, which reduces manual effort and improves reliability. According to Microsoft, managing TLS certificates in Kubernetes (especially across hybrid, multicloud, and edge environments) has become increasingly…

A major driver of cybersecurity breaches continues to be insufficient employee training and awareness, a problem that has persisted across the industry for years. New findings from Fortinet highlight that despite advancing technologies, organizations still struggle to address this ongoing human-factor vulnerability. According to Fortinet’s 2026 Global Cybersecurity Skills Gap Report, more than half of…

Microsoft’s Azure Local can now support deployments of thousands of servers within a single sovereign environment. This allows organizations to run very large, complex workloads locally without redesigning their infrastructure. According to Microsoft, governments and regulated industries are increasingly prioritizing strict control over where their data is stored, how operations are managed, and how compliance…

An attacker who has administrative-level access can retrieve Microsoft Edge users’ saved passwords from memory, even when those credentials are not actively being used. This is possible because the browser temporarily keeps them in an unencrypted form in its process memory as part of how it is designed. According to a new report from Securonix,…

It isn’t hard to guess why Microsoft Intune is a common first choice for Windows device management. For enterprises already using Microsoft 365 and Entra ID, it offered a logical way to extend modern management to Windows devices while keeping administration aligned with the broader Microsoft ecosystem. But as device estates grow and operational demands…
