    [On-demand Webinar] When Sovereignty Is More Than a Claim

     

    Digital sovereignty is often treated as a security feature. But real sovereignty is about control over data, infrastructure, operations, and decision-making when it matters most. Bitdefender's VP of Products, OVHcloud's CISO, and the European Cyber Security Organisation examine where sovereignty efforts break down in practice, and what a genuinely sovereign cloud and security stack actually looks like.

      [InfoZone] InfoZone: What is Dynamic Attack Surface Reduction (DASR)?

       

      Gartner introduced DASR in 2025 as an approach that continuously monitors, analyzes, and adapts to changes that increase an organization's attack surface. Unlike static hardening rules, DASR observes how each machine is actually used and restricts capabilities that serve no legitimate purpose, before attackers can exploit them. Explore DASR on InfoZone.

      Technical Advisory: ShinyHunters Breach of Instructure Canvas LMS

       

      ShinyHunters exploited Canvas LMS's Free-For-Teacher account program to breach production data across 9,000 schools globally — exposing names, email addresses, student IDs, and private messages. The operational lesson goes beyond education: freemium tiers in B2B SaaS often share infrastructure with paid tenants while applying weaker identity verification. When that gap is found, tenant isolation collapses.
