Compliance Fatigue Is Now a Security Risk
As companies face overlapping regulations—DORA, NIS2, CCPA, GDPR, and CRA—security teams are spending more time filling out forms than fixing real gaps. This creates audit-blind spots and tool misalignment.
Solution: unify compliance data via a GRC platform, automate evidence collection, and standardize control mappings across frameworks.
Energy Sector ICS Devices Are Still Unpatched
Critical infrastructure operators continue to run unpatched industrial control systems (ICS), some with 8+ year-old CVEs. Many remain exposed on public IPs with default credentials.
At minimum, isolate these devices with firewall rules, change all default passwords, and deploy passive network monitoring for real-time visibility.
Teams are recording more meetings than ever—but few have policies on where those recordings are stored, how long they’re retained, or who can access them.
Encrypt all recordings at rest, use auto-expiry policies, and remove access to past employees or external guests immediately.

Browser Extensions: The Enterprise Trojan Horse
Free productivity extensions can request excessive permissions—like reading email or logging keystrokes. Once compromised or sold, they become an attacker’s front door.
Create an allowlist of approved extensions, enforce browser management policies, and block installations from unknown sources.
Dormant Accounts in IAM: Ghost Access, Real Risk
Accounts tied to past interns, vendors, or test environments often persist with high privilege. Dormant accounts are now a primary foothold in lateral movement chains.
Run periodic IAM audits, disable stale accounts automatically, and implement “just-in-time” access for temporary roles.
SOCs Are Losing Context Without Unified Telemetry
Security operations centers struggle to triage alerts when data is fragmented across tools (EDR, SIEM, cloud logs, etc.). This leads to missed detection and alert fatigue.
Adopt platforms that normalize telemetry into one pipeline. Correlation is everything—if your data can’t talk to itself, your analysts are blind.
