JLR was attacked earlier, too. In March 2025, JLR was targeted by the HELLCAT ransomware group, which compromised Atlassian Jira credentials to steal hundreds of gigabytes of sensitive data. This new attack, leading to the systematic shutdown of production facilities and retail systems, suggests either a ransomware attack or a significant system compromise. Clearly, JLR needs to immediately implement capabilities to prevent lateral movement that attackers resort to after an initial breach, among other cybersecurity controls.

The 'castle and moat' idea has gone from outdated to outright dangerous as applications and users have scattered across public clouds, SaaS platforms, and more.

Zscaler's architecture was designed from the outset with the priority of data privacy in mind, as Europe attaches importance to this issue.

Virtualized environments are prime targets for cyberattacks due to their centralized nature and the potential vulnerabilities inherent in remote access protocols. Common Security Risks in Virtualization include credential-based attacks and exposure of RDP ports.

Hollebeek argued that this is the right move, given that "many of these applications need no communication outside of the company network and will therefore be more securely protected on an internal PKI, where the organization can configure certificates as they see fit."

Despite a robust investment in security measures like Zero Trust and endpoint protection, enterprises are significantly neglecting browser security, the critical layer where much of modern work occurs.

Zero-trust principles are crucial in modern cybersecurity yet CI/CD pipelines often ignore them by assuming automation is inherently trustworthy, creating security vulnerabilities.

HPE announced new security features focusing on Zero Trust access and expanded functionalities in HPE Aruba Networking and HPE GreenLake during the RSAC 2025 Conference.

Although caffeine and connectivity are easily available from public places, it's a real Sophie's Choice for IT and security leaders: Allow users direct access to the internet with no security controls, or route traffic to a remote data center using a VPN.
