There's a war raging in the heart of every developer. On one side, you have the id: the impulse-driven creative force that wants to code at the speed of thought and would prefer to deploy first and ask questions later. On the other side, there's the superego, which wants to test every line of code and would push a release by a month if it meant catching one extra bug.  Experienced developers know how to act as a referee between these two forces and find the right balance between speed and security. But inexperienced or overworked devs often put their id in the driver's seat, which leads (among other things) to accidentally leaking developer secrets. These secrets include things like API and SSH keys, unencrypted credentials, and authentication tokens. Calling developer secrets "the keys to the kingdom" is something of a cliche, but it's tough to think of another phrase that accurately captures the unique power of this data. Unfortunately, the people who most appreciate the pow...

With thousands of endpoints, cloud instances, remote users, and third-party integrations, securing the enterprise has become a massive target. Each change in the IT environment - whether driven by digital transformation, M&A activity, or routine system updates - creates new opportunities for adversaries to leverage. Yet, the network is the backbone of business operations. It must always be available to support production, collaboration, and growth.  In this article, we'll explore the specific challenges large enterprises face when validating their security posture and how leading security teams are evolving their testing strategies to match the scale, speed, and sophistication of large, multi-faceted IT networks.  The Challenges of Validating Enterprise Network Security Enormous attack surface - In large enterprises, the attack surface spans countless assets across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments, making comprehensive security validation incredibly complex. Ac...

Identity Is the New Perimeter—And It's Fractured In 2025, identity isn't just a security issue—it's the battleground. And too many organizations are getting caught flat-footed. Organizations today must reckon with complex hybrid environments that contain interconnected endpoints, servers, cloud services, DevOps systems, identity infrastructure, and much more. And with enterprise systems no longer fitting neatly into a single network perimeter, the identities used to interact with these systems have become the new perimeter.  A strong cybersecurity foundation starts with clear visibility that puts risk in content. Identity security is no different. However, in practice, identity management systems are anything but centralized. Building IDs and access to physical offices are handled by one system. Logins to Windows machines are generally managed with Windows domains and Active Directory—but what about Macs and Linux machines? Companies use Okta, Ping Identity, or the equivalent ...
