Forward-looking coverage of security innovations, market shifts, and emerging technologies redefining enterprise defense.
Authentication challenges have plagued organizations for decades. Traditional passwords not only burden users—leading to insecure practices like writing them on sticky notes or recycling them across multiple platforms—but also invite attackers to utilize brute force techniques.
Conventional hacking required a tedious process of testing exploits on various systems to see which ones might yield a result. Now, machine learning tools can ingest enormous libraries of known flaws, then systematically attempt permutations across a range of targets at scale.
One reason for XDR’s sudden appeal is the ongoing shift toward decentralized computing. As organizations adopt hybrid and multi-cloud environments, employees and contractors increasingly connect from diverse networks and devices.
