They happen because organizations misunderstand who is responsible for securing what . Th


What Does a Modern Security Operations Center (SOC) Actually Do?
For many organizations, the phrase Security Operations Center, or SOC, conjures a familiar image: a darkened room filled with glowing monitors, analysts staring intently at streams of alerts, ready to stop hackers in their tracks. While this image isn’t entirely wrong, it dramatically understates the role a modern SOC plays in today’s cyber threat landscape. In reality, a modern Security Operations Center is less about watching blinking lights and more about continuous risk m

BEC & Invoices: Stop Wire Fraud Before It Starts
The message arrived just after 9:00 a.m., buried between weekly reports and routine vendor updates. Lucía, a finance associate at a growing manufacturing SMB in LATAM, opened it without hesitation. The sender was a trusted supplier, someone she had exchanged emails with for years. The tone was warm but concise, the signature block looked familiar, and the attached invoice matched the style and format she expected. The only difference was a casual note at the bottom: “We’ve up
