Upgrade from annual pen tests to continuous penetration testing services in Australia. Discover 2026 red teaming trends, PTaaS, and expert security assessments.
Discover how threat actors exploit the critical CVE-2026-20127 Cisco SD-WAN vulnerability. Learn IoCs, remediation steps, and how penetration testing secures your network.
The Australian Cyber Security Centre has issued urgent warnings about actively exploited vulnerabilities in Microsoft SharePoint Server (CVE-2025-53770) that enable unauthenticated remote code execution. With Chinese state-aligned actors and ransomware groups already compromising Australian organisations, this threat represents an immediate and severe risk to business-critical data and infrastructure.
Across AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure environments in Australia and globally, 59% of IAM users maintain access keys that have never expired—credentials that have been active for more than one year. These long-lived credentials represent a silent but catastrophic vulnerability in your cloud infrastructure. This blog explores why long-lived credentials have become the primary attack vector for identity-based breaches, how red teams exploit them during penetration tests, and what you must do today to eliminate this ticking time bomb.
Critical authentication bypass vulnerabilities in Fortinet FortiGate and related products (CVE-2025-59718 and CVE-2025-59719) are now under active attack, allowing "ghost" SSO logins that completely sidestep normal controls and logs. For Australian organisations, this is more than a VPN or firewall problem – it is a board-level exposure that directly tests whether your external penetration testing, internal penetration testing, and red team assessment services are capable of simulating SSO abuse, identity takeovers, and lateral movement across hybrid networks.
From Cloudbleed to WannaCry, 2017 has already had its fair share of security breaches. With modern, sophisticated tactics employed by cyber criminals, it will take a lot to make the online world a safer place.
