4 min readThe Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) recently issued an urgent advisory urging U.S. organizations to harden their endpoint management systems. The guidance came in response to the Stryker attack, claimed by Handala, an Iranian-linked hacktivist group, which wiped thousands of corporate devices without a single piece of malware.

Powered by a relentless development cycle and diverse distribution networks, it shows no signs of slowing down. Researchers have extensively documented its signature tactics: "ClickFix" browser social engineering prompts, trojanized application installers, and, most recently, the "malext" variants spread through malvertising campaigns.

6 min readEnrolling a fleet of devices sounds simple in theory: pick a Blueprint, assign some settings, and you're done. But in practice, most organizations are managing a mix of Mac computers, Windows computers, iPhone devices, iPad devices, kiosk tablets, and meeting room devices, each with their own configurations, user types, and provisioning requirements. Keeping all of that straight at enrollment time, without manual intervention or a tangle of enrollment codes, has historically been one of the more tedious parts of device management.

As an IT admin, you’ve almost certainly had to check some form of log when investigating a problem. Logs tell the story of what’s happening on a system, so they can be enormously helpful in both troubleshooting issues and in learning why the system is behaving the way that it is.

8 min readIn recent months, a new class of AI tools has gained momentum, blurring the line between traditional assistants and fully autonomous automation platforms. OpenClaw, previously known as Clawdbot and Moltbot, is designed to execute tasks for users with little ongoing human involvement, including file management, workflow automation, and direct shell command execution. Its rapid viral growth and strong community adoption, with almost 200,000 GitHub stars, have brought attention to a new category of AI tools that operate with deeper system access than most conversational AI platforms.

3 min readIn the modern macOS ecosystem, Homebrew is a staple: the engine under the hood in software engineers' day to day development, and a productivity enhancer for macOS power users. However, its convenience and ubiquity may introduce a significant blind spot for security teams if they lack visibility into the "Cellar" - the specific location where Homebrew stores its binaries, known as formulae. Its hidden dependencies, lingering outdated binaries, and relaxed permissions can create serious security gaps. When a workstation may be the gateway to cloud and production systems, those gaps matter.
