Host Access News

We’re inching closer to the end of 2025, and it’s been a busy year in cybersecurity. A new threat has emerged in the form of fake IT workers, with related charges brought against individuals in the United States. At the same time, state-sponsored and AI-powered attacks continue to grow. The need for in-depth defense is more critical than ever. Whether you’re mitigating the risk of the next potential attack or securing systems to comply with the latest regulations, it’s important to know where your blind spots are.
