Where to get cyber news: Useful links.
Here are a number of publications I use to 'try' to keep up with everything happening in cyber security: https://thehackernews.com/ https://www.darkreading.com/ https://www.scworld.com/ https://www.securityweek.com/ https://www.cybersecuritydive.com/ https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/Cyber Resilience Podcast - Live
Hey folks....I had the pleasure to sit down with John Gilroy from The Federal Tech Podcast to discuss Cyber Resilience Strategies for Federal customers from TechNet Cyber in Baltimore. There was even a fire alarm and evacuation 6 seconds into the recording. Live streaming, baby! Nothing like it :) Check it out! How Federal Agencies Can Achieve Cyber-Resilient Data Protection and Recovery Federal Tech Podcast - Episode 238Everpure Resilience Tools
Earlier this year we released Everpure Resilience Tools, our in guest tool for managing network reconfiguration on a recovery. This is key when recovering into various "personalities," whether it be a Disaster Recovery, a Test Bubble, a Clean Room, a Secure Isolated Recovery Environment, Forensics, or any other need! Our team has continued to improve upon this, and we now maintain the code within a public GitHub repository within "PureStorage-OpenConnect", Everpure Resilience Tools. The downloads are packaged in the release "Tags" section. This weeks release, 2.25.0, is a bugfix release while also including substantial details into the README. Whether you are upgrading your release, or installing for a new deployment, we are here to support your success!From Passive to Proactive: A New Cyber Resilience Foundation
We are thrilled to announce a significant evolution of the Pure Storage Cyber Resilience solution, designed to transform your defense posture from passive to proactive. The announcements on September 25th deliver on three core pillars that are essential for modern defense: 1. Dynamic Response and Recovery: Recovery time must be measured in minutes, not days. We're introducing Pure Protect™ Recovery Zones to automatically provision Isolated Recovery Environments (IREs), plus a new Cyber Resilience delivered as a Service model with Veeam to guarantee instant, validated recovery. 2. Connected Detection: We’re eliminating security blind spots by embedding detection into the data layer itself. We have several new native detection capabilities and new integrations with CrowdStrike Real-Time Threat Graph and Superna Next-Gen SIEM to accelerate threat detection and remediation. 3. Built-in Security: Security is foundational. Our platform now features mandatory safeguards like TPM and UEFI Secure Boot and Enterprise-Grade Identity and Access Management to ensure the integrity of your platform from the ground up.

With the barrage of new announcements coming out of NYC Accelerate, I wrote a new blog post that is relevant to all customers, but specific to State / Local Government and Education customers summarizing what is new and the value it brings in terms of Active Cyber Resilience.

I've been talking to our Healthcare Payer customers, as well as almost all of the Fortune 500, about how Pure can help to incorporate Mainframe backup and recovery into their overall Cyber Resilience strategy. It is best practice to protect your data across the enterprise and with our Luminex + Pure solution, all your data can be protected under one plan. I'm interested to hear if anyone else is finding challenges with this process.10152026 - TechTalk Recap: Awareness Won’t Save You, Recovery Will
We closed out Cyber Awareness Month with a direct message: awareness matters, but recovery is what keeps the business running when an attack lands. I was joined by Rick Orloff, CISO at Everpure, and Chris Brandt, Consulting Field Solutions Architect for Cybersecurity and Resilience, to discuss how AI is changing the threat landscape, why traditional disaster recovery plans fall short during cyber extortion, and what a resilient recovery architecture looks like in practice. What you missed: AI is shrinking the response window. The time between detection and damage can now be measured in seconds. Teams need controls and recovery processes that can move at machine speed. Disaster recovery is not the same as cyber recovery. In a cyberattack, the facility may be fine—but the compromised data can replicate from production to the DR site. A second copy is not enough if it is also infected. Build an isolated recovery environment. A protected copy needs separate identity and access controls, no path from production, and immutable snapshots that cannot be easily deleted by an attacker. Define your minimum viable business. If every workload is a priority, none of them is. Start by identifying tier-zero infrastructure, tier-one applications, and the business processes that must be restored first. Test the plan before the incident. Recovering one application in 15 minutes proves very little if hundreds need to come back and the network is unavailable. Practice at scale, reduce dependencies on a small group of people, and plan communications for an outage. The practical takeaway: a recovery strategy is only credible when it is isolated, prioritized, and proven through testing. The goal is not just to restore data—it is to restore the business.
