RedVDS Cybercrime Infrastructure Fueling Cyber Fraud
Most organizations still focus solely on “tactics, techniques, & procedures (TTPs)” used by threat actors. That’s a mistake. Today’s biggest financial losses don’t start with custom malware or zero-days. They start with industrialized cybercrime infrastructure, which is scalable and purpose-built to make cyber fraud fast, cheap, and hard to trace. Microsoft tracks one of the […]
Securing the Supply Chain Requires More Than Data
Supply chain security doesn’t fail because organizations lack data. It fails because accountability is unclear, trust is assumed, and security is fragmented. Organizations have more data than ever. More vendor assessments. More dashboards. More alerts, yet breaches tied to third parties and shared platforms continue to escalate. We believe supply chain cyber resilience must be […]
Cybersecurity Hiring Is Slowing, But AI Alone Won’t Help Your SOC
Budgets are flat. Headcount growth is shrinking. Yet breaches, phishing, and ransomware are accelerating. All now supercharged by AI. This isn’t a talent crisis. It’s a labor market reset in cybersecurity. Organizations aren’t cutting people indiscriminately. They’re cutting manual, low-value work and reallocating spend toward automation that actually reduces risk. The mandate from boards and […]

Prompt Injection: When Your AI Takes Orders from Attackers
Prompt injection represents one of the most insidious threats facing organizations deploying AI in Microsoft 365. Unlike legacy cyberattacks that exploit software vulnerabilities or steal credentials, prompt injection manipulates AI systems into performing unintended actions by corrupting the instructions they receive. For organizations with Microsoft Copilot or custom AI agents built with OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, […]
AI Deepfake Threats in Microsoft 365: What Security Leaders Need to Know
AI-generated deepfakes represent a growing threat to organizations using Microsoft 365. These sophisticated attacks leverage artificial intelligence to create convincing fake audio and video content, enabling fraud schemes that bypass traditional security controls. For mid-market organizations, understanding and mitigating these risks has become a critical security priority. Cyber insurance providers now explicitly cover reputational harm […]
Is Your MDR Provider Using “AI + Analyst On-the-Loop”—or Just Talking About It?
AI has become the loudest buzzword in cybersecurity. Every MDR provider now claims to be “AI-powered,” “AI-driven,” or “AI-enabled.” Demos are filled with automation graphs, flashy dashboards, and promises of lightning-fast response. But here’s the uncomfortable question most security leaders don’t ask early enough: Is your MDR provider actually using AI correctly with analysts “on-the-loop”, […]
Should You In-House, Outsource or Co-Source Your SOC?
Security Operations Centers (SOCs) are having an identity crisis. On paper, the SOC is supposed to be the always-on nerve center of cybersecurity detection, investigation, containment, and recovery. In reality, many SOCs have become an expensive treadmill: too many alerts, too few analysts, constant tool tuning, and leadership pressure to “be resilient” while budgets and […]
20 Things to Consider When Selecting Your Next MDR Provider
Choosing a Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provider is one of the highest-impact security decisions an organization will make. The right MDR becomes an extension of your security team and materially reduces business risk while the wrong one becomes an expensive alerting layer that fails when it matters most. Below is a practical, outcome-driven guide […]
