Authored by: PlexTrac Author Posted on: October 17, 2019 Top 3 Password Management Tools For the foreseeable future, usernames and passwords will continue to be the most widespread method of identification and authentication. While there are certainly much more secure methods, the real weakness in the username/password paradigm is in how we humans use them. We all know that we should be using long complex passwords, and we know that we should be using unique passwords for every account. But let’s face it – most of us aren’t Rain Man, and thus we choose poor password complexity and tend to re-use those poor passwords for multiple accounts. Password vaults, such as LastPass, Dashlane and Keeper help mitigate the inherent weaknesses in the username/password paradigm by making it easy to use long complex passwords and take away the incentive to re-use them on multiple accounts. What Password Management Program Should I Use? 1. LastPass 2. DashLane 3. Keeper PlexTrac Author At PlexTrac, we bring together insights from a diverse range of voices.

Bridging Red and Blue Teams With Automated Pentest Delivery For decades, security programs have been shaped by a familiar dynamic: red team versus blue team. Red teams think like attackers, probing systems through attack simulation to uncover weaknesses. Blue teams defend, detect, and respond, working to validate vulnerabilities, remediate risk, and keep the business running. In theory, this tension is healthy. In practice, it often creates friction.

The Most Popular Penetration Testing Tools in 2026: 30 Products to Support Your Pentesting Efforts This Year Penetration testing is a crucial part of cybersecurity and involves finding and exploiting vulnerabilities in networks, applications, systems, or physical environments before the bad actors can. Penetration testing also plays a key role in continuous threat exposure management. Point-in-time testing is no longer enough, and continuous penetration testing is key to effectively identifying and mitigating... READ ARTICLE
The Operational Gap Between Pentest Reports and Real Remediation Most security teams invest in pentesting with the expectation that it will lead to real risk reduction. Skilled testers identify meaningful attack paths, validate impact, and provide remediation guidance that is technically sound. In most organizations, the quality of the pentest itself is not the problem. The friction starts after the report is delivered. Security... READ ARTICLE
