Why federal cyber defense demands an offense-driven mindset
Opinion piece argues federal agencies should prioritize exploitability and autonomous penetration testing over static CVSS-based patching, citing CISA's BOD 26-04 and NSA's CAPT program.
The author argues that static CVSS-driven patching leaves federal agencies exposed because vulnerable does not equal exploitable, and adversaries chain misconfigurations and stolen credentials instead of burning zero-days. The piece cites CISA's BOD 26-04 and the NSA's Continuous Autonomous Penetration Testing (CAPT) program, which logged 28,282 completed pentests across 822 Defense Industrial Base organizations and closed 71% of critical findings within 30 days. It recommends defining risk by exploitability and mission impact and augmenting human pentesting with autonomous validation and verification.

Certificate failures can cost firms over $250,000
DigiCert survey finds certificate failures cost firms over $250,000 per incident, with 47-day TLS certificates set to multiply management workloads by 2029.
DigiCert's Certificate Management Outlook reports that 34% of companies experienced outages from expired certificates and 40% from mismanagement, with nearly one in four citing incidents costing over $250,000. The CA/Browser Forum's move to 47-day certificate lifespans by 2029 will require renewals eight times more often and 40 times as many domain validations. Over half of organizations manage more than 1,000 certificates, yet only 10% have automation in place, with budget constraints and legacy systems cited as key barriers.

CTEM Technology Evaluation Scorecard
Horizon3.ai releases a scorecard for evaluating CTEM technologies on demonstrated exploitability and remediation evidence.
Horizon3.ai published a downloadable CTEM Technology Evaluation Scorecard for assessing security technologies across the six-stage Continuous Threat Exposure Management operating model, from discovering exposure through verifying risk removal. The scorecard uses a 0-3 scale based on repeatable evidence demonstrated in the evaluator's environment rather than stated feature claims, with emphasis on validating exploitability and verifying remediation. It is vendor marketing material aimed at security leaders and evaluation teams.

The hidden work of modernizing Malwarebytes
Malwarebytes details its migration of Windows product managed components to .NET 10, citing security, supportability, diagnostics, and performance benefits.
Malwarebytes says it migrated the managed portions of Malwarebytes for Windows to .NET 10 while leaving native drivers and the detection engine untouched. The vendor cites a supported runtime, safer defaults, stronger cryptography, better diagnostics, and JIT/GC performance improvements as benefits. The migration also deprecated Windows 7 support, and the company applies staged rollouts and automated validation because its code runs with elevated privileges on millions of endpoints. No vulnerabilities or incidents are described.
