Cloud Security Posture Management: CSPM, CNAPP, CWPP, and WAAP Explained

Posted on by Dean Lombardo

It’s an alphabet soup in the cloud security market: Cloud security posture management (CSPM), CNAPP, CWPP, and WAAP. These cybersecurity product categories address different security requirements, from cloud configuration monitoring and compliance to workload and application protection. Discover how they differ, where they overlap, and how Atomicorp addresses important cloud security requirements. What Is Cloud […]

HPC Security Beyond OS Hardening: Protecting Enterprise Linux and Advanced Computing Infrastructure

Posted on by Dean Lombardo

High-performance computing (HPC) and AI infrastructure providers deliver the operating systems, management tools, and expertise behind demanding workloads. Yet their OS hardening and patching alone cannot address every cyber threat. Continuous file integrity monitoring (FIM), intrusion detection, vulnerability management, and automated response extend security across enterprise Linux and heterogeneous computing environments. For customers, these capabilities […]

The Endpoint Never Went Away: Why Host-Based Security Still Matters

Posted on by Dean Lombardo

Host-based security remains a critical layer of cybersecurity even as organizations shift infrastructure and security operations to the cloud. Servers, workstations, virtual machines, cloud instances, container hosts, legacy systems, and OT endpoints still run applications, process data, and deliver the programs defenders need to protect. Host-based security monitoring provides visibility into what is running, what […]

AI-Speed Vulnerability Exploitation, and Layered Security Countermeasures

Posted on by Dean Lombardo

Artificial intelligence is changing more than the sophistication of cyber attacks—it is changing the speed of attacks. AI-speed vulnerability exploitation enables attackers to discover weaknesses, generate exploits, perform reconnaissance, and launch attacks in a fraction of the time previously required by human operators. As the defender’s response window shrinks, defense in depth cybersecurity becomes increasingly […]

NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 3: The Current Modern CUI Baseline

Posted on by Dean Lombardo

For government contractors and MSPs that store, process, or transmit Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 3, published on May 14, 2024, provides a modern framework for strengthening security while preparing them for evolving federal cybersecurity requirements, including those that may be reflected in future CMMC and FedRAMP updates. Atomicorp delivers the endpoint […]

Why Continuous Compliance Monitoring Matters More Than Ever

Posted on by Dean Lombardo

Continuous compliance monitoring provides the ongoing visibility organizations need as AI-accelerated attacks shorten the time between vulnerability discovery and exploitation. Atomicorp’s Atomic OSSEC EDR delivers continuous compliance monitoring and benchmarking across IT and OT environments through agent-based or agentless deployment on modern, legacy, and unsupported operating systems. Built-in antivirus, endpoint firewall, file integrity monitoring, vulnerability […]

Securing Unsupported Software With Layered Compensating Controls

Posted on by Dean Lombardo

Unsupported software security—or a lack of it—has quietly become one of the greatest sources of cyber risk. While discussions often focus on legacy web applications, organizations rely on many kinds of software that can no longer be patched, upgraded, or supported. This includes not only internet-facing applications, but internal business systems, middleware, custom applications, industrial […]

Unsupported Windows Security: Protecting End-of-Life Systems

Posted on by Dean Lombardo

Unsupported Windows systems continue to power manufacturing, healthcare, retail, OT, and critical business applications long after Microsoft support ends. Unfortunately, attackers don’t stop targeting these systems simply because the vendor has retired them. As security updates disappear and new vulnerabilities continue to emerge, organizations need compensating security controls that help reduce risk while extending the […]

Multichannel Security Alerts: Build Automated Security Workflows With Atomic OSSEC EDR With SOAR

Posted on by sshinn

Automated multichannel security alerts turn detections into action. Atomic OSSEC EDR delivers alerts across multiple channels, helping SIEM and SOAR platforms investigate threats, notify responders, and accelerate incident response. Modern security operations demand speed, automation, and integration. When ransomware indicators, compliance violations, or Kubernetes security events are detected, delays in alert routing can slow incident […]
