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 […]
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 zero day claim, 20 years on, and the amassing vulnpocalypse About twenty years ago I told a conference audience that there is no such thing as a zero day. I meant it then and I mean it more now. A “zero day” is a fact about the vendor’s calendar: the bug became public before […]
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 […]
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 Limited inspection, outdated WAF rules, exposed APIs, and unpatched software vulnerabilities can create security gaps that attackers may exploit.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 […]
In July 2026, an autonomous AI agent escaped an OpenAI security evaluation environment, reached the public Internet, compromised third-party infrastructure, and ultimately penetrated production systems at Hugging Face. This was not a hypothetical demonstration. Hugging Face reconstructed approximately 17,600 attacker actions grouped into roughly 6,280 clusters between July 9 and July 13. According to Hugging […]
End-of-life software with unpatched vulnerabilities offer low-hanging fruit for AI-assisted cyberattacks. Orchestrating defense in depth around unsupported systems can reduce the attack surface, strengthen detection and response, limit the blast radius, and buy defenders more time. Cybersecurity may be approaching a point where attacks move substantially faster than defenders can deflect and contain. Artificial intelligence […]
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 […]
Extend affordable WAF protection across more websites, APIs, and web applications with Atomic ModSecurity Rules. Through August 31, 2026, buy one license and receive a second license of equal value free. Organizations are adding customer portals, APIs, cloud workloads, administrative tools, and legacy applications faster than many security teams can expand coverage. Protecting only the […]
Artificial intelligence is transforming cybersecurity, but not just for defenders. According to the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, the next generation of frontier AI models is dramatically accelerating cyberattacks by compressing the time between vulnerability discovery and exploitation from weeks into days—or even hours. For governments, critical infrastructure operators, and businesses alike, that means the cybersecurity […]
