Cyber Security News ranks 2026 server security platforms, favoring Trend Micro for hybrid estates, CrowdStrike for detection, Defender for Azure economics.
Cyber Security News published an editorial ranking of ten server security platforms for 2026, favoring Trend Micro for hybrid estates, CrowdStrike for detection quality, and Microsoft Defender for Servers for Azure-centric economics. The guide stresses that server security licensing differs (per server, per core, or per cloud-hour) and flags hypervisor protection as a commonly missed coverage gap.

AD Rights Management Service (Part 1): Architecture, Deprecation, and Reconnaissance
Huntress maps AD RMS architecture and recon paths, setting up an offline key-extraction attack against its unrotatable 255-year root key.
Huntress's multi-part research examines Active Directory Rights Management Services, Microsoft's enterprise DRM role that still ships in Windows Server 2025 despite migration guidance favoring Azure Information Protection. Part 1 covers the trust model and how an ordinary domain account can locate RMS clusters and read rights-policy templates. Part 2 will detail four independent paths for extracting the Server Licensor Certificate (SLC) private key via service-group membership and the configuration database, enabling fully offline decryption of protected documents. The SLC certificate is valid from 2002 to 2258 and has no key-rotation mechanism, so a stolen key decrypts protected content indefinitely.
