The Art of Security Podcast: Episodes 13–17 Recap You know the line: defenders have to be right every time, but attackers only have to get lucky once. Tyler and Josh wonder if that gives attackers too much credit. They explore how layered security, deception, active defense, preparation, and threat intelligence can tip the scales toward defenders, and whether the cat-and-mouse idea works the same for an enterprise as it does for you at home.

When DNS Trust Breaks: What the Counterfeit Google Certificates Reveal Between September 22 and 27, 2026, attackers hijacked the .gh, .sl, and .as country-code TLD registries and obtained 12 publicly trusted TLS certificates for Google and YouTube domains without compromising Google or the issuing certificate authorities.

Why is Preemptive Cyber Defense Important in 2026? Preemptive cyber defense is a prevention-first security strategy that stops threats before they execute, rather than detecting and responding to them after they have already run. Instead of recognizing an attack in progress, it removes the conditions an attack needs to succeed, blocking malicious code deterministically at the moment of execution. Cyber blog Morphisec Blog

Russia Is Tightening Internet Controls, Leading to Operational Risks Since mid-2025, the Kremlin has intensified restrictions on digital communications and infrastructure, very likely to suppress the organization of domestic political dissent and conduct digital surveillance within Russia. Increasingly strict measures targeting virtual private networks (VPNs), state-managed internet shutdowns, limitations on civilian communications platforms, and monitoring of domestic and foreign entities very likely represent an escalation from the approaches to censorship and surveillance pursued prior to 2024.
