  1. Privacy infrastructure has historically prioritized neutrality — encrypted traffic flows without inspection.
    However, a new initiative involving ExpressVPN and the Internet Watch Foundation introduces a different architectural approach to restrict known CSAM domains.
    The mechanism relies on OpenBoundary, a DNS-level filtering technology designed to block only domains verified by IWF.
    Technical characteristics include:
    • DNS resolver-level domain verification
    • No deep packet inspection
    • No encryption termination
    • No traffic logging or user identification
    If a requested domain appears on the IWF verified list, the connection is dropped at the network boundary.

    The initiative - “Not on My Network” - is also encouraging adoption across the privacy infrastructure ecosystem, including CyberGhost VPN, Private Internet Access.
    For security engineers, this raises an important architectural question:
    Can network-level safeguards address exploitation risks without weakening encryption guarantees?

  3. OpenAI’s Trusted Access for Cyber introduces a trust- and identity-based approach to controlling access to frontier cyber-capable models such as GPT-5.3-Codex.

    The framework acknowledges the dual-use nature of vulnerability testing and aims to reduce friction for legitimate defenders through verification, monitoring, and calibrated safeguards. The program also includes an expanded cybersecurity grant initiative to accelerate defensive research.

    "Data Kidnapping: Because File Encryption Is So 2020" 🫢

    We're back in the office and excited to start sharing all the conversations we captured on location in Las Vegas with our amazing sponsors and editorial coverage!

    🔔 Follow ITSPmagazine, Sean Martin, CISSP, and Marco Ciappelli to get this content fresh as it drops!

    We're excited to share this eye-opening Brand Story conversation thanks to our friends at Zscaler 🙏

    #Ransomware has evolved. Attackers no longer need to encrypt your data—they're stealing it and threatening public exposure unless you pay.

    At #BlackHat2025, Brett Stone-Gross from #Zscaler reveals how this shift changes everything about defense strategies.

    The new reality organizations face:
    • Stolen data moves slowly enough to avoid alerts—or quickly enough to overwhelm teams
    • File transfer tools and other apps left exposed to the internet create easy entry points
    • Advanced groups target single victims for multimillion-dollar payouts based on stolen data value
    • The U.S. accounts for ~50% of ransomware incidents, making American companies prime targets
    • Legacy systems in #healthcare, #manufacturing, and oil & gas amplify risks

    Zscaler's #zerotrust approach tackles these challenges by:
    • Eliminating internet-facing vulnerabilities—hiding applications from public view
    • Advanced #threatprevention that blocks exploits before escalation
    • Segmentation that prevents lateral movement from compromised accounts
    #DLP that detects and stops unauthorized data transfers
    • Continuous monitoring that catches privilege escalation attempts

    The business impact?
    Reduced attack surface, faster threat containment, lower risk of repeated incidents, and better security #ROI.

    When attackers can't see your applications, they can't exploit them.

    Simplifying #CyberSecurity Without Sacrificing Control

    At #BlackHat2025, Danny Jenkins, CEO of #ThreatLocker, proves that effective cybersecurity doesn't have to be overly complex. The key? Security should be simple enough to implement quickly while still addressing evolving organizational needs.

    Jenkins shares how ThreatLocker has moved beyond "magic" solutions to deliver tangible results—tools that block threats by default, simplify approvals, and make exceptions easy to manage. With over 54,000 organizations worldwide trusting their platform, they're showing that security doesn't have to slow business down.

    A standout feature: ThreatLocker's Defense Against Configurations (#DAC) module performs 170 daily checks on every endpoint, aligning with #NIST and #FedRAMP frameworks. It doesn't just detect misconfigurations—it explains why they matter and how to fix them. Jenkins even admits it revealed gaps in ThreatLocker's own environment, fixed in minutes!

    Plus, learn how their recent #FedRAMP authorization validates both product and company security maturity, benefiting federal agencies and commercial clients alike.

    🎙️✨ Why Simplicity Might Be the Missing Ingredient in Your #ZeroTrust Strategy | An ITSPmagazine Brand Story with Rob Allen from ThreatLocker | #RSAC2025

    At #RSAC Conference 2025, the ThreatLocker booth didn’t need flashing lights or gimmicks. Just a live PowerShell attack, a rubber ducky, and a crowd watching real protection in action. That’s how you cut through the noise.

    In this Brand Story episode, Sean Martin, CISSP and Marco Ciappelli talk with Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker, about why Zero Trust doesn’t need to be complicated to be effective. Instead of piling on tools, Rob explains why proactive control, vendor consolidation, and human connection are the real differentiators.
