What Is Threat Hunting? A Complete Guide for Security Teams

What Is Threat Hunting? A Complete Guide for Security Teams Security tools catch a lot. They do not catch everything. Automated detection systems rely on known signatures, predefined rules, and behavioral baselines. Sophisticated adversaries know this and design their operations to slip through t...

External Attack Surface Management: What It Is, Why It Matters, and How to Get It Right

Every organization with internet-facing assets has an external attack surface. The question is whether you can see all of it before an attacker does. External attack surface management EASM gives security teams the continuous visibility, context, and control they need to find and fix exposures...

Patch Management: A Complete Guide to Securing Your Organization

Your vulnerability scanners just returned 15,000 findings. Microsoft's Patch Tuesday alone dropped 97 fixes. Linux vendors released another 40. Third-party applications added dozens more. Your security team has exactly the same number of hours in the day as they did last month. This is the realit...

Risk-Based Vulnerability Management: The Complete Guide to Smarter Threat Prioritization

Your vulnerability scanner just flagged 12,000 findings. Your team has the bandwidth to remediate maybe 200 this sprint. Which ones do you fix first? If your answer is "sort by CVSS score and work down the list," you are making the same mistake most security teams make. You are treating a 9.8-rat...

Threat and Vulnerability Management: Building a Unified Program

Most security teams run threat intelligence and vulnerability management as separate operations. Threat analysts track adversary campaigns and emerging exploits. Vulnerability teams run scans, generate reports, and chase patches. The two groups rarely share a workflow, a priority list, or even a...

U.S. Public Sector Under Siege: Threat Intelligence for Q1 2026

The first quarter of 2026 has reinforced a hard truth: U.S. government agencies and educational institutions are operating in the most hostile cyber threat environment ever recorded...

[Webinar] Stop Guessing. Learn to Validate Your Defenses Against Real Attacks

Most teams have security tools in place. Alerts are firing, dashboards look clean, threat intel is flowing in. On the surface, everything feels under control. But one question usually stays unanswered: Would your defenses actually stop a real attack? That’s where things get shaky. A control exist...

ProHunter APT Hunting Tool / Paper

Advanced Persistent Threats APTs remain difficult to detect due to their stealthy nature and long-term persistence. To tackle this challenge, provenance-based threat hunting has gained traction as a proactive defense mechanism. This technique models audit logs as a whole-system provenance graph a...

CTI-REALM: A new benchmark for end-to-end detection rule generation with AI agents

Excerpt: CTI-REALM is Microsoft’s open-source benchmark for evaluating AI agents on real-world detection engineering—turning cyber threat intelligence CTI into validated detections. Instead of measuring “CTI trivia,” CTI-REALM tests end-to-end workflows: reading threat reports, exploring telemetr...

How to Prioritize Vulnerabilities Effectively: A Framework

Attackers don’t care about your massive backlog of "critical" vulnerabilities. They look for the path of least resistance—the one exploitable weakness that gives them a foothold into your network. If your vulnerability management program isn't thinking like an attacker, you're always one step...

What is CTEM? A Modern Approach to Cyber Risk

To effectively defend your organization, you need to think like an attacker. Attackers don’t care about a vulnerability’s CVSS score; they care about whether they can exploit it to reach a valuable target. Traditional security often misses this crucial context, leaving you to guess which of the...

7 Best CTEM Tools to Reduce Your Attack Surface

To truly secure your organization, you have to start thinking like an attacker. An adversary doesn’t care about your endless spreadsheet of CVEs; they look for a single, exploitable path to their objective. So, how do you find that path before they do? You start by using threat intelligence to...
