🔐 Microsoft is retiring NTLM. The problem is that attackers still love it.

NTLM hashes remain a powerful tool for Pass-the-Hash and relay attacks. As organizations move toward Kerberos-only authentication, identifying hidden relay paths is critical.

👉 https://7asecurity.com/blog/2026/05/ntlm-hash-security-kerberos-migration/

An NTLM hash is the mathematical version of a password that Windows uses for legacy authentication. For years, the security industry has known that older versions of this system were broken. Now, the 2025 and 2026 security baselines target the death of the entire NTLM stack, including NTLMv2. Micros...

🎯 Attackers don't need thousands of Kerberos ticket requests anymore.

Modern Kerberoasting attacks are targeted, quiet, and designed to blend into normal network activity. Traditional detection rules that look for volume alone are no longer enough.

Learn how advanced threat hunting, KQL analytics, and Kerberos hardening can help detect the attacks that automated tools often miss.

Modern Kerberoasting detection has moved far beyond watching for bulk ticket requests. In 2026, sophisticated threat actors use targeted requests to blend seamlessly into normal network traffic. With Microsoft’s mandatory move to AES-256, defenders must focus on advanced KQL queries and specific b...

☁️ Attackers don’t wait for alerts anymore.
They hide inside your cloud infrastructure while automated tools drown teams in noise.

Threat hunting in the cloud is about proactively finding the attackers that already bypassed your defenses — before they steal data or establish persistence.

👉 Learn how modern cloud threat hunting actually works:
https://7asecurity.com/blog/2026/05/cloud-threat-hunting/

Threat hunting in the cloud is the only reliable way to find sophisticated attackers hiding inside your infrastructure. Your cloud setup probably triggered dozens of security alerts last week. Most of them were just noise. A few were duplicates. But one of them might’ve been a real threat buried i...

🛡️ Identity is now the primary security perimeter.
Attackers aren’t breaking in anymore — they’re logging in through weak permissions, legacy accounts, workload identities, and shadow admin paths.

Modern Entra security requires more than Global Admin restrictions. It requires Zero Standing Access, adaptive privilege controls, and continuous identity auditing.

👉 Learn how modern Entra role security actually works:
https://7asecurity.com/blog/2026/05/entra-roles-7asecurity-strategy/

Managing Entra roles is no longer just assigning permissions; it’s about automating how we remove access. Microsoft Entra is shifting away from broad built-in roles like Global Admin toward highly specialised, restricted roles. As of 2026, the secure-by-default standard requires Zero Standing Acce...

🔴 Red Team services don’t just find vulnerabilities.
They show whether your organisation can detect and stop a real attack.

A clean pentest report doesn’t always mean your business is secure. Red Teaming tests your people, processes, and technology under realistic attack scenarios.

👉 Learn how Red Team services protect your digital assets:
https://7asecurity.com/blog/2026/05/red-team-services-explained/

Red Team services show you exactly how your network handles a real, targeted attack. You already have firewalls, endpoint protection, and regular staff training. Your last security audit only showed a few minor vulnerabilities. Yet, how sure are you really that those tools would actually stop a skil...

🔴🔵 Purple Team cybersecurity isn’t about “Red vs Blue.”
It’s about making both teams stronger together.

Most pe*******on tests end with a PDF report and unresolved findings.
Meanwhile, SOC teams still struggle to detect real-world manual attacks.

Purple Teaming changes this by bringing attackers and defenders together in real time to:

✅ Improve detection capabilities
✅ Reduce alert fatigue
✅ Validate security tools
✅ Turn testing into measurable security improvements

👉 Learn how Purple Team cybersecurity actually works:
https://7asecurity.com/blog/2026/05/purple-team-cybersecurity/

Purple Team cybersecurity lets you move from uncertain system security to proven, real-world defence. Consider this: Your company hires a pe*******on testing team. They spend two weeks testing your systems, recording flaws, and writing a technical report. That report lands on a manager's desk. Teams...

🛡️ PCI DSS compliance isn’t just about passing scans.
It’s about proving your payment systems can withstand real attacks.

Quarterly scans, risk ranking, remediation timelines, pe*******on testing —
most organisations misunderstand at least one critical part.

👉 Learn how proper PCI DSS vulnerability management actually works:
https://7asecurity.com/blog/2026/05/pci-dss-vulnerability-management/

Effective PCI DSS vulnerability management is the first line of defence for businesses managing credit card data. You've heard the basics before: Run quarterly scans. Fix the critical bugs. Document every single step. And yet, this area remains one of the most misunderstood parts of PCI DSS vulnerab...

🛡️ PCI compliance alone won’t stop attackers.
Passing an audit only proves your controls worked on one specific day. Real attackers look for the gaps between the checkboxes.

Manual pe*******on testing helps uncover the logic flaws, weak segmentation, and hidden risks automated scans miss.

👉 Learn how PCI regulations actually impact your security:
https://7asecurity.com/blog/2026/05/pci-regulations-data-security/

PCI regulation forces you to build basic security walls, but it doesn't automatically stop hackers from climbing over them. Year after year, businesses pass PCI compliance audits. They receive their certificates and assume their payment systems are secure. Yet, soon after, a data breach hits them. T...
