Notably, incomplete multi-factor authentication (MFA), missing or misconfigured endpoint detection and response (EDR) and weakened endpoint policies appear in more than 75% of organisations,...

Whilst Santa prefers to deliver via chimney, most cybercriminals are looking for backdoors. In some cases, hackers prefer to deliver malicious communications via email. Worryingly, in 2025, scams are not just more common, they’re often harder to spot. Earlier this month, researchers from the team at Check Point detected 33,502...

The same advances that drive discovery and innovation also give cybercriminals new ways to attack faster, more broadly and with greater impact. One of the clearest examples of this dual advancement is quantum computing: a breakthrough that could change...
