In today’s economic landscape, small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) are being asked to do more with less. Margins are tight, inflation is still biting and budget scrutiny has become the norm. Yet, the demands on IT, from productivity to compliance to cyber security, have only increased.

For managed service providers (MSPs), this presents both a challenge and an opportunity. How can MSPs help their clients stay protected, connected and competitive without overspending? How can they stay profitable while meeting rising expectations?

Exposure management goes beyond CVEs to analyze all potential attack paths across hybrid environments – on-premises, cloud, and Active Directory. It shows how attackers can combine vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and identity exposures to reach critical assets. While interconnected vulnerabilities were once difficult to find, AI is making it easier for threat actors to identify these convergent paths, known as “choke points.”

As the New Year begins, recent cyber attacks on educational organizations remind me how important it is for Identity Security to stay ahead of bad actors.

PowerSchool is the largest provider of cloud-based education software for K-12 education in the U.S., supporting more than 50 million students. Hackers successfully breached its customer support portal, allowing further access to the company’s information systems. 

A short time after, news broke of small public schools being hit with cyberattacks in Maine. The first was a breach in the internet network in the South Portland School District coming from an attacker in Bulgaria. At a different Maine school district, a student’s email address was hacked and used in a phishing scam, again by someone outside the country. They sent emails out to around 1,400 different accounts. 

Organizations serving students large and small, public and private, are being targeted.  Education is no longer a safe space from threat actors, and we urge leaders to take proactive steps to shore up their systems against attack. We take seriously our responsibility to help, and one way is by sharing learnings from these incidents to help take action to avoid the same outcomes.

In this blog, we’ll take a deep dive into what malicious browser extensions can do and how to mitigate the risks they pose.
