Enterprise-Wide Visibility & Control

Its Here. It’s called CSMA For two decades, the security industry has been chasing “single pane of glass” visibility. Vendors promised it. Consultants pitched it. Security leaders wanted it. But nobody actually delivered it. Instead, we got a mosaic of single panes of glasses. The average enterprise now runs 83 security tools across 29 vendors. […]

For two decades, the security industry has blown smoke about “single pane of glass” security visibility. Vendors promised it. Consultants pitched it. Security leaders wanted it. But nobody actually delivered it. Instead, we got fragmentation at scale. The average enterprise now runs 83 security tools across 29 vendors. Each tool shows you a slice of […]

Note: this blog was first published on Smarter Cyber: Automation & AI First, before the dawn of time there was IDS. The Intrusion Detection System. Was it the first cybersecurity acronym? I don’t know. I wasn’t around. Since then, too many have followed. And the next one has arrived, at last. Surely this will be […]

Understanding the architectural shift reshaping enterprise security For two decades, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) has been the backbone of enterprise security operations. It promised to bring order to chaos by centralizing security data into a single pane of glass. And for a time, it worked. But somewhere between 2005 and 2025, something fundamental […]

Despite investing heavily in Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platforms, organizations face an uncomfortable reality: only 42% of breaches are detected by internal security tools. Meanwhile, SIEM licensing fees increase 15-30% annually as data volumes explode. Enter Cybersecurity Mesh Architecture (CSMA) – a fundamentally different approach to enterprise security that’s gaining rapid adoption among forward-thinking CISOs. […]

IBM’s announcement that QRadar will reach end of life has left thousands of enterprises at a crossroads. For security teams who’ve built years of detection logic, integrations, and operational muscle memory around QRadar, the question isn’t just “what’s next?” – it’s “what’s better?” The reflexive answer is to migrate to another SIEM. But before committing […]

Cyber attacks no longer target individual layers. They move across domains making them difficult for point solutions to catch. Learn how to detect and stop cross-domain attacks

The cybersecurity landscape has undergone a dramatic transformation over the past decade. What began as a defense-in-depth strategy with perimeter-focused security has evolved into a complex ecosystem of specialized tools designed to address an ever-expanding array of threats. As attackers have become more sophisticated and attack surfaces have grown exponentially, organizations have responded by adopting […]

The recent UNC6395 attack that compromised over 700 Salesforce organizations through hijacked OAuth tokens reveals a uncomfortable truth: most organizations that claim to have “implemented Zero Trust” are operating with dangerous security gaps. Despite widespread adoption of Zero Trust principles, the attackers exploited exactly what Zero Trust is designed to prevent—implicit trust relationships that bypass […]

The cybersecurity industry has a tool problem. What began as a noble pursuit of “best-of-breed” solutions has evolved into an unwieldy maze of point products that’s strangling security operations. With the average organization now managing 45 cybersecurity tools across 20 different vendors, security teams are spending more time managing their stack than actually securing their […]

The cybersecurity industry has long operated under a fundamental assumption: divide security into specialized domains and let each tool excel in its particular area. But as Gartner’s CARTA (Continuous Adaptive Risk and Trust Assessment) framework reveals, this siloed approach creates dangerous gaps that modern attackers routinely exploit. The problem isn’t that individual security tools are […]

For over two decades, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) has been the cornerstone of enterprise security operations. But according to Gartner’s latest research, the future of security operations lies in Cybersecurity Mesh Architecture (CSMA) — a transformative approach that either enhances your existing SIEM investment or replaces it entirely with a more flexible, cost-effective […]

Palo Alto Networks’ $25 billion acquisition of CyberArk sent shockwaves through the cybersecurity industry — not just for its massive price tag, but for what it signals about the future of security architecture.  This deal represents more than product expansion; it’s a bet on platformization that every CISO should understand before making their next strategic […]

Microsoft SharePoint, a cornerstone of collaboration in most enterprises — and a prime target for adversaries — has disclosed a zero day. Recently catalogued as CVE-2023-29357, this zero-day vulnerability in SharePoint Server allows attackers to bypass authentication entirely using a forged JSON Web Token (JWT). The attacker doesn’t need a valid password. They don’t need […]

In its 2025 Hype Cycle for Digital Identity, Gartner introduced a new innovation profile that will shape the next era of identity security: Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platforms (IVIP). This milestone validates what security leaders have experienced firsthand: the exponential growth of identities across modern enterprises has outpaced traditional visibility and management capabilities, calling for […]

Time To Build The Cybersecurity Mesh What is CSMA? As organizations transition from site-centric architectures to identity-first and distributed frameworks, the need for transformational security strategies becomes paramount. In response to evolving security threats, Gartner’s VP analyst, Patrick Hevesi, introduced the concept of Cybersecurity Mesh Architecture in 2021. CSMA aims to bridge the shortcomings of […]

A Comprehensive Approach to Modern Cybersecurity What is CSMA? Cybersecurity Mesh Architecture (CSMA) is a revolutionary approach to cybersecurity that focuses on enhancing traditional defense strategies through real-time interoperability, collaboration, and context awareness. Introduced by Gartner’s VP analyst, Patrick Hevesi, CSMA aims to address evolving security threats by creating a cohesive, integrated security framework. It […]

Trust No One? Always Verify? In a recent security incident, identity services provider Okta reported that attackers gained unauthorized access to its support case management system using stolen credentials. This breach allowed the threat actors to exfiltrate sensitive active cookies and tokens uploaded by certain Okta customers. Then, the attackers maliciously used these active session […]

Don’t Gamble On Your Identities In this era of advanced cyber threats, no organization is invulnerable, regardless of its size or reputation. The cyberattack on MGM Casino serves as a stark reminder of the evolving and intricate threats. It emphasizes the urge to shift to an identity-first security approach and the imperative for tools like […]
