Designing for Failure: Why DDIL Must Be the Starting Point
DDIL is the expected condition in modern tactical operations. See how multi-transport SD-WAN keeps warfighters connected when links fail.
5G as Primary WAN: Making 5G Enterprise-Ready with Versa Secure SD-WAN
5G as Primary WAN: Making 5G Enterprise-Ready with Versa Secure SD-WAN For years, 5G was treated as a backup connection, the link you activated when the main circuit went down, then ignored until the next outage. That made sense when cellular networks were inconsistent and performance was unpredictable. But that’s no longer today’s reality. 5G has matured into a viable primary WAN technology. The speeds are there. The coverage is there. What’s been missing is the management foundation to run 5G like a primary enterprise WAN connection: unified policy enforcement, multi-carrier flexibility, intelligent traffic steering, and end-to-end visibility. That changes…
CVE-2026-41940: Inside the cPanel/WHM Authentication Bypass
Introduction Hosting control panels operate with near-total authority over a server: websites, databases, DNS, email, and the account lifecycle are all driven from one place. That privilege makes them a high-value target—when a control-plane bug appears, compromise can extend far beyond a single site. CVE-2026-41940 is a pre-authentication bypass affecting WebPros cPanel & WHM (WebHost Manager) and WP2 (WordPress Squared). In practical terms, it lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker reach administrator-level control without supplying valid credentials. Background: What Is cPanel/WHM? cPanel is a widely deployed, Linux-based hosting panel. WHM is the higher-privileged layer used by resellers and server administrators to…
Compliance: Mapping the Coast Guard’s MTSA Cyber Rule to VersaONE
Here is how Versa Unified SASE platform translates 33 CFR Part 101, Subpart F into controls for compliance.
The Complexity Tax: What Enterprise Fragmentation Is Actually Costing You
Thirty-five percent of organizations surveyed for Versa’s inaugural Annual State of SASE + AI Report, “The Cost of Complexity suffered a security breach in the past year that was directly caused or worsened by poor coordination between networking and security teams. Not by a sophisticated nation-state actor. Not by a zero-day exploit. By the seam between two teams that report to different people, fund different tools, and measure success differently.
The Ghost in the Leased Line: Unmasking MuddyWater, Surgical Cyber Arm
In the high-stakes theater of global geopolitics, the most effective weapons aren’t always missiles; sometimes, they are just few lines of code.
Why Data Sovereignty Fails Without Sovereign SASE
Across boardrooms, from Singapore to Sao Paulo, business leaders are coming to the same conclusion: Sovereign cloud, on its own, doesn’t always deliver the level of security they thought they were buying.
Geopolitics Is Fracturing The Cloud, And Sovereign SASE Is Emerging As An Answer
The cloud was supposed to simplify everything: global scale, shared infrastructure, one architecture for the world. However, that model is shifting, and I don’t see it shifting back again. The pressure driving that shift is sovereignty.
The question is no longer whether organizations trust the cloud but whether they can afford to cede control of their data and security enforcement mechanisms as digital systems increasingly intersect with national policy and regulation.
Identity Is the New Perimeter. Stryker Just Taught Us That the Hard Way.
A story on how an Iran-linked group wiped tens of thousands of Stryker’s devices A nation-state attack that changes every assumption we had For years, we have treated nation-state threats as a “Tier 1” problem — something reserved for defense contractors and the energy grid. The March 2026 attack on Stryker Corporation by Iran-linked group Handala officially kills that assumption. On March 11, 2026, Stryker’s corporate Microsoft environment was hit. Employees arrived to find their managed devices wiped out overnight through entirely legitimate Intune commands. Handala claimed 200,000+ systems affected; independent reporting confirms that tens of thousands were impacted. Stryker’s…

How NGFW Fits into Your Zero Trust Strategy
By Brad LaPorte
Strategic Advisor
February 5, 2025
Zero Trust requires organizations to assume that threats can originate from anywhere—both inside and outside the network. This approach emphasizes strict identity verification and continuous monitoring to protect sensitive resources. Advanced security tools, such as Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs), play a pivotal role in implementing this strategy. These technologies provide enhanced visibility and granular access control to meet the demands of hybrid and cloud-first environments.

ISACA Survey Points to Growing Threats and Lack of Automation
By Kevin Sheu
VP of Product Marketing
October 14, 2024
This latest survey is more confirmation that an oft-mentioned reality continues to be true – that the nature of threats keeps advancing and organizations frequently find themselves falling further and further behind. Far and away, the top reason given for increased stress isn’t low budgets or lack of training or failure of company leadership to prioritize security – even though these are among the reasons cited – it’s the “threat landscape is increasingly complex,” listed by 81 percent of respondents, nearly double the next-closest response.

Protect & Reduce Attack Surface at the Network Edge
By Brad LaPorte
Strategic Advisor
September 12, 2024
Understanding the cyber attack surface Historically, the “attack surface” was limited to well-known points of external exposure—the traditional perimeter of websites, external IP addresses, and endpoints. Our cyber attack surface has expanded dramatically over the past five years, now encompassing our cloud estate, millions of devices at the edge, and mobile and remote workers, in addition to our internet-facing infrastructure. This expansion of the definition to include cloud, end-user, and internal assets has been driven by the increasing sophistication of cyber attacks. The table below breaks down today’s complex attack surface into several categories, based on a framework presented by…

What is Zero Trust Security? | Core Principles of Zero Trust Model
By Janak Panchal
Strategy Analyst
August 15, 2024
Zero Trust is a cybersecurity paradigm that assumes no user, device, or network segment is inherently trustworthy—even if it’s inside the corporate perimeter. Instead of granting implicit trust based on location or network membership, Zero Trust requires every access attempt to be verified and authorized, reducing the attack surface and preventing lateral movement by attackers.
