When a board member asks "where do our credentials actually live," the honest answer with a cloud vault is usually "somewhere in the vendor's infrastructure. That answer is no longer good enough for a lot of security teams. Sascha Martens, General Manager Matesco & CTO at Netwrix, breaks down when self-hosting a password vault makes more sense than trusting a vendor's cloud, what to check before you commit to any solution, and the one setup problem nobody talks about until they hit it. If your organization has data residency requirements, air-gapped environments, or compliance pressures that a SaaS vault can't fully answer, this is worth reading.

Most defenders trust their logs. These two Active Directory techniques prove that trust is misplaced. Netwrix Senior Staff Security Researcher Darryl Baker audited every MS-ADTS LDAP extended control and found two that abuse legitimate, documented AD functionality in ways most security teams aren't watching for. FORCE_UPDATE: An attacker with WriteProperty on a single attribute can inflate its replication version counter without changing its value. When a defender corrects it on another DC, AD resolves the conflict by version, not timestamp. The fix silently reverts with no domain admin required. OBJECT_SECURITY DirSync: Any domain user can bulk-read everything they're permitted to access across AD and leave zero log trail. No Event 1644. No Event 4662. Nothing in host logs. Both controls behave exactly as documented. The effect is just not what most defenders expect, and most telemetry wasn't built to see it. If you run Active Directory, this research is worth your time. Full research and two proof-of-concept tools 👉🏼 netwrix.com/en/resources/b… #LDAP #DataSecurity #IdentitySecurity #Netwrix #ADSecurity

Most AI security conversations stop at the model. Attackers don't. The most dangerous jailbreak vectors target the infrastructure around it. Change one configuration parameter in the right place and you don't need a clever prompt. The breach is already in progress. That's a configuration integrity problem. And we know exactly how to solve it. Read the full blog 👉🏼 netwrix.com/en/resources/b… #AIGovernance #ConfigurationManagement #Netwrix #DataSecurity

Netwrix Senior Staff Security Researcher Darryl Baker was featured in TechEdge AI on the state of AI security governance in 2026. The numbers tell the story. Only 11% of organizations have continuous AI governance in place. Yet nearly half already have agentic AI running in production. And organizations where AI expanded their identity footprint saw a 43% breach rate compared to 11% where it didn't. The bigger risk most teams are missing: it's not what employees type into AI tools. It's what those tools can access once they're deployed. Read the full interview 👉🏼 techedgeai.com/the-technical-… #Netwrix #DataSecurity #IdentitySecurity

With the World Cup underway, there is no better time to talk about the goalkeeper principle in cybersecurity. Every other control in your security stack has something behind it. Credentials don't. When an attacker has valid credentials, they don't need to beat anything else. No privilege escalation, no lateral movement required. The game is already over. Sascha Martens, General Manager at MATESO and CTO at Netwrix, uses the goalkeeper principle to explain why credential security is held to a different standard than every other layer in your stack, and what governed credential management actually looks like in practice.

Identity is almost always at the center of ransomware attacks. Is your organization leaving itself exposed? Ransomware defense usually starts with endpoints, backups, and network segmentation. Those things matter. But if you look at how these attacks actually unfold, the path almost always runs through stolen credentials, abused sessions, over-privileged service accounts, and directory design weaknesses that no single team has authority to fix. Darryl Baker, Senior Staff Security Researcher at Netwrix, breaks down why identity security has to be the foundation of any effective ransomware defense, and where most organizations are getting it wrong.

In his recent Forbes Technology Council article, Netwrix CEO Grady Summers shares his take on one of the most overlooked security challenges right now: machine identities. Service accounts, AI agents, APIs, and automation identities are multiplying faster than most IAM programs were built to manage. Unlike human users, there is no HR offboarding trigger when a microservice gets deprecated or a vendor integration gets replaced. His starting point: visibility. Know what service principals are registered in your directory, what OAuth consents exist, and whether there is a process for reviewing them. If you don't know the machine identities already in your directory, that is where to start.

What does a 4x World Cup captain have in common with a CISO? Both know that championships are won by closing gaps, one position at a time. On July 14, Netwrix CEO Grady Summers sits down with Claudio Reyna, former U.S. Men's National Team captain and National Soccer Hall of Fame inductee, to talk about what it actually takes to build a defense that holds under pressure. The conversation maps eleven positions of a championship security program to the threats they stop and the gaps they were built to close. Because in cybersecurity, like in football, defense doesn't happen by accident. 📅 Tuesday, July 14 | 1:00 PM ET | Free live webinar Register 👉🏼 netwrix.com/en/resources/w… #Netwrix #CyberSecurity #IdentitySecurity #SecurityLeadership #FIFA2026

Most goals at the World Cup don't come from a brilliant individual play. They come from a transition moment, when possession changes and the defensive shape hasn't recovered yet. Most breaches happen the same way. Not because the team was bad, but because a gap opened in the moment nobody was covering it. Ryan Oistacher, Director of Product Marketing at Netwrix, maps a 4-3-3 defensive formation onto a security program: a keeper on credentials, a back four on endpoints and least privilege, a midfield reading access risk, and a front line governing identity, all tied together by unified visibility across data and identity. The breakdown isn't usually the tools. It's the gaps nobody assigned anyone to cover.

Is your team ready for an APRA CPS 234 audit? Auditors want evidence, not just policy documents: who can access your information assets, whether privileged activity is fully audited, and whether your controls actually work. CPS 234 is principles-based. That means proportionate controls, tested effectiveness, and documented proof on demand. Netwrix helps APRA-regulated entities produce that evidence across data discovery, privileged access management, configuration monitoring, and incident detection.

Research insight: AI is exposing security weaknesses that many organizations didn’t realize they had. We surveyed 2,317 security professionals across 1,889 organizations to understand where the gaps are. The data is clear: organizations where AI expanded access had 4x the breach rate of those where it didn't. Swipe through to see what's driving that gap and what the organizations closing it have in common. Full report 👉🏼 netwrix.com/en/resources/n… #Netwrix #DataSecurity #IdentitySecurity #CyberSecurity

Do you know where your AI coding assistant stores its credentials? Netwrix researcher Darryl Baker analyzed 14 popular AI tools and found that most store OAuth tokens and API keys in predictable plaintext JSON files on disk. One file. Multiple connected services. One read operation away from a full compromise. The research maps eight real-world attack scenarios and includes practical steps to reduce your exposure. Darryl also built AIHound to help security teams find these exposures automatically. Read the blog 👉🏼 netwrix.com/en/resources/b… #Netwrix #DataSecurity #IdentitySecurity
