How Automatic Return Routing solves IP overlap (Cloudflare)

ARR is an optional tool for Cloudflare One customers that gives you the flexibility to route traffic back to where it originated, without requiring an IP route in a routing table. This capability allows overlapping networks to coexist without a single line of Network Address Translation (NAT) or complex Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) configuration.

Your asset inventory ends at IT. Your risk doesn’t. (Axonius)

If an incident hits, and you can’t quickly identify which devices are affected, what operations they support, and how they connect to the rest of the environment, recovery slows down. Outages last longer. Risk increases. Leadership starts asking why security couldn’t see the impact sooner.

Bridging IT and OT identity decisions on the factory floor (CyberArk)

Humans need to be able to monitor and intervene when automation behaves unexpectedly. Machine and AI identities must be treated as privileged operational actors with defined ownership and limited access. Unfortunately, governance models can’t keep pace with the speed, scale, and autonomy of these identities.

That File in Teams? Your Entire Organization Might Be Able to Access It (Cyera)

Microsoft Teams doesn't manage file permissions on its own. It delegates entirely to SharePoint and OneDrive. When you upload a file to a Teams channel, it lands in the team's SharePoint site. When you send a file in a chat - including a chat with yourself - it goes to your OneDrive. Teams is just the interface; SharePoint and OneDrive are the storage layer, and they control who can access what.
