Legacy systems in OT environments often include aging Windows, Linux, and Unix-based computers that configure, monitor, and manage industrial equipment. These systems can introduce vulnerabilities into critical operations, while compatibility and uptime requirements complicate conventional security measures. Agentless EDR offers a way to extend continuous security and compliance monitoring to difficult-to-protect systems. Industrial operations rely […]
Atomicorp CVE Research Tools provide answers during uncertain times. A new CVE has been identified! How do you determine whether it affects your environment, whether a patch is available, and what protections may already stand between the vulnerability and an attacker? Atomicorp CVE Research Tools at research.atomicorp.com provide a place to investigate selected CVEs and […]
A WAF can be running, correctly configured, and blocking known attacks while still leaving significant gaps in application security. Limited inspection, outdated WAF rules, exposed APIs, and unpatched software vulnerabilities can create security gaps that attackers may exploit. For enterprises, CDN providers, and security integrators, effective web application protection requires more than baseline OWASP Top […]
Leverage SIEM security monitoring in an endpoint detection and response (EDR) system that provides multi-SIEM and multiplatform flexibility. What Is SIEM Security Monitoring? Security information and event management (SIEM) brings security events, logs, and other telemetry together so organizations can detect threats, investigate activity, monitor compliance, and respond more effectively. Instead of viewing security activity […]
Can’t Patch Old Software Vulnerabilities? Use Compensating Security Controls Unpatched software systems are an unfortunate reality for many organizations. When vulnerable IT and OT systems can’t be patched, compensating security controls and a defense-in-depth strategy help mitigate the risk while keeping critical systems running. Why Some IT and OT Systems Can’t Be Patched Patching known […]
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 […]
File change monitoring can tell organizations much more than whether an important file was modified. Modern file integrity monitoring (FIM) can provide valuable event data about what changed, when and where it happened, and who or what was responsible. Combined with real-time monitoring and other security telemetry, this information can help security, IT, OT, and […]
The CMMC Phase 2 suspension gives defense contractors more time to prepare, not a reason to stop preparing. Here are some reminders and recommendations for the meantime. The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program was headed toward an important milestone on November 10, 2026. That was when Phase 2, also referred to as Phase I, […]
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 […]
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 […]
