In every modern organization, a well designed Vulnerability Management Policy is one of the core pillars of cybersecurity resilience.

This policy establishes a continuous, structured cycle for identifying, analyzing, prioritizing, and remediating security vulnerabilities across systems, applications, networks, and third party environments. It ensures that security is not a one time effort, but a living process of continuous improvement.

At Diyako Secure Bow (DSB), our Vulnerability Management Policy provides:
• Clear governance, with defined roles and responsibilities for the Board, CIO, CISO, and business units
• Continuous monitoring through network assessments, internal/external scans, and penetration testing
• Risk-based prioritization to ensure critical vulnerabilities (Priority 1) are remediated before deployment
• Strict control of non permitted technologies and prevention of Shadow IT
• Comprehensive logging and oversight to detect misuse, exploitation attempts, and emerging threats
• Documentation and accountability aligned with global standards and audit requirements

The result is a disciplined approach that strengthens security maturity, reduces operational and regulatory risk, and helps organizations stay one step ahead of cyber threats.

A well implemented Vulnerability Management Policy is not just documentation, it is a strategic enabler of business continuity, digital trust, and long term resilience.

4 organizations and clients seeking stronger security assurance, a robust Vulnerability Management Policy demonstrates a clear commitment to proactive risk reduction, regulatory compliance, and continuous improvement. It provides measurable confidence that vulnerabilities are not only identified on time, but systematically prioritized, remediated, and continuously monitored across the entire technology landscape ensuring safer operations, higher reliability, and long term business continuity.

Importantly, organizations should avoid purchasing generic documents or copy pasting templates. A security policy creates real value only when it is fully customized to the organization’s business model, technology stack, operational risks, and regulatory environment.

Tailored policies drive true security maturity, templates do not.

2025 Fortinet Global Threat Landscape Report

The 2025 Fortinet Global Threat Landscape Report reveals a significant escalation in both the scale and sophistication of cyberattacks. Threat actors are now operating with unprecedented speed, leveraging automation, commoditized attack tools, and artificial intelligence across every phase of the attack lifecycle.

The time gap between vulnerability disclosure and active exploitation has dramatically collapsed, in many cases to just hours or days. This shift marks the full industrialization of cybercrime, where attacks are no longer handcrafted but mass-produced, highly scalable, and continuously adaptive.

Adversaries are increasingly using AI for:
•Automated reconnaissance
•Intelligent phishing and social engineering
•WAF and detection evasion
•Rapid exploit development

As a result, traditional defensive advantages are systematically eroding. Legacy security models based on periodic patching, signature based detection, and reactive SOC operations are no longer sufficient.

Key Message for Executives:
Cybersecurity in 2025 is not a technical support function it is a core business survival capability.
Organizations that fail to adopt continuous threat exposure management, AI driven defense, Zero Trust architecture, and real-time detection and response will face persistent operational, financial, and reputational crises rather than isolated security risks.

تغییر ماهیت تهدید: از حمله هدفمند به حمله صنعتی
تا چند سال قبل، حملات سایبری عمدتا:
• هدفمند
• زمان‌بر
• متکی به مهارت فردی هکر
بودند. اما طبق این گزارش، امروز با مدل کارخانه‌ای جرم سایبری مواجه هستیم

پیام مستقیم این گزارش برای مدیران و هیئت‌مدیره
این گزارش یک پیام شفاف دارد:

- امنیت سایبری دیگر یک پروژه فنی نبوده و نیست،
- یک قابلیت راهبردی بقا برای سازمان است.

سازمان‌هایی که:
• سرعت تصمیم‌گیری ندارند
• معماری Zero Trust ندارند
• مراکز عملیات امنیت هوشمند ندارند
• سناریوهای حمله را تمرین نکرده‌اند

در سال‌های پیش رو نه با ریسک، بلکه با بحران مستمر مواجه خواهند بود.🙂

Malicious HTML:
The Quiet Dominant Vector in Email Attacks

Email remains the primary entry point for cyber incidents not because organizations ignore it, but because adversaries continuously adapt faster than traditional controls.

This data point is particularly telling
38% of email threats are now driven by malicious HTML documents. Not executable malware. Not obvious attachments. Just “simple” HTML files.

From a CISO and board level risk perspective, this trend highlights several uncomfortable truths
1. HTML Is Being Weaponized as a Trust Envelope
HTML files exploit user trust and technical blind spots.
They bypass classic attachment heuristics by
•Rendering convincingly legitimate login pages
•Embedding obfuscated redirects and credential harvesting logic
•Acting as lightweight droppers that evade AV first detection models

This is no longer “phishing as usual.” It is application layer social engineering.

2. Legacy Email Security Is Optimized for Yesterday’s Threats
Many secure email gateways were designed around
•Executables
•Macro enabled documents
•Known exploit signatures

But HTML based payloads live in the gray zone between content and code, where
•Signature based detection is weak
•Sandboxing is often skipped
•User context becomes the primary control

That is a governance failure, not a technical one.

3. Risk Ownership Is Shifting from IT to Leadership
When 38% of threats rely on deception rather than exploitation, the control surface changes
•Training alone is insufficient
•Technology alone is insufficient
•Risk accountability must sit with leadership

This is where vCISO models become critical aligning email security with:
•Business risk tolerance
•Identity and access strategy
•Incident response readiness
•Executive decision-making under uncertainty

4. Shadow AI Will Accelerate This Curve
With generative AI, attackers now mass produce:
•Highly contextual HTML lures
•Perfectly localized language
•Behaviorally tuned phishing flows

Meanwhile, unmanaged Shadow AI inside organizations introduces data leakage and impersonation risk, feeding the same attack ecosystem.

What Should Change Now
A mature response in 2025 requires
•HTML aware inspection and detonation
•Identity centric email security
•Executive level phishing simulations (not checkbox training)
•Continuous risk metrics reported to the board
•Explicit ownership of email risk within enterprise risk management

Email is no longer an IT hygiene issue.
It is a business continuity issue.

Threat Research | Malware Intelligence
PyStoreRAT Intelligence Report
December 2025

This intelligence report delivers an in depth technical analysis of PyStoreRAT, a Python based Remote Access Trojan (RAT) exhibiting a modular, stealth oriented design tailored for persistent access and flexible post compromise operations.

The report dissects PyStoreRAT’s core architecture, detailing how its components interact to enable resilient command and control (C2) communications, dynamic tasking, and adaptive execution flows. Special focus is placed on the malware’s persistence mechanisms, illustrating how PyStoreRAT maintains long term footholds across compromised environments while minimizing detection.

A comprehensive examination of the command retrieval and tasking model reveals how the malware decouples instruction delivery from execution logic, allowing operators to dynamically update behaviors without redeploying the core implant. This design significantly enhances operational agility and reduces the observable footprint typically associated with traditional RAT families.

Finally, the report analyzes PyStoreRAT’s modular execution framework, demonstrating how additional capabilities can be selectively loaded, executed, and removed at runtime. This modularity not only supports tailored attack campaigns but also complicates forensic analysis and defensive attribution.

Overall, PyStoreRAT exemplifies a new generation of low noise, high flexibility malware, reflecting the broader evolution of threat actor tooling toward adaptive, service oriented malicious architectures.

Inside the Five Most Dangerous Emerging Attack Techniques: Expanded Insights from the SANS Keynote at RSAC 2025 December

This whitepaper delivers an in depth analysis of the five most critical and rapidly evolving attack techniques currently reshaping the cybersecurity threat landscape. Drawing directly from the SANS keynote at RSAC 2025, it goes beyond surface level trends to examine how modern adversaries are exploiting cloud environments, identity layers, automation, and trust boundaries at scale.

Each chapter is structured to move from threat context to real world case studies, and ultimately to actionable defensive strategies. The focus is not theoretical security, but operational resilience what security leaders must understand and implement now to remain ahead of highly adaptive threat actors.

Authored by leading SANS instructors and globally recognized practitioners, the whitepaper combines deep technical insight with pragmatic guidance that security teams, architects, and executives can apply immediately. It is particularly valuable for organizations navigating cloud first architectures, hybrid environments, and complex supply-chain dependencies.

Key takeaways include:
•How attacker tradecraft is evolving faster than traditional detection models
•Why cloud misconfigurations and identity abuse remain primary entry points
•What security teams must change in architecture, monitoring, and governance
•Practical recommendations to reduce exposure and improve cyber resilience

This is essential reading for CISOs, security architects, cloud leaders, and risk owners seeking to translate cutting-edge threat intelligence into decisive, defensible action.

Continuous Learning, Community Impact, and Appreciation to ISACA

Over the past months, I have had the opportunity to participate in a diverse and thoughtfully designed set of ISACA webinars and professional education sessions. These programs addressed a broad spectrum of contemporary challenges facing the cybersecurity, risk, audit, and governance community well beyond purely technical considerations.

The sessions covered critical domains such as:
_Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) and the harmonization of risk and compliance through automation.
_Cyber risk management in the age of AI, including building a solid business case for AI adoption.
_Cyber resilience, vulnerability and patch management through compliance-driven strategies.
-Foundations of IT audit and preparing the next generation of IT auditors.
-Leadership development, career growth, and talent pipeline building for cybersecurity and audit functions.
-People centered security and change management, leveraging frameworks such as ADKAR.
-And notably, the role of professional communities and the art of building effective, value-driven ecosystems.

What stands out across these learning experiences is ISACA’s holistic and pragmatic perspective connecting security, business objectives, human factors, and governance into a coherent model. This approach enables professionals to address real organizational needs rather than focusing solely on tools, controls, or isolated technical solutions.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to ISACA for its continued leadership in advancing professional knowledge, fostering global collaboration, and strengthening the cybersecurity and governance community. By cultivating an active, inclusive, and forward looking professional ecosystem, ISACA plays a vital role in elevating both individual practitioners and organizational maturity worldwide.

Today, continuous learning, professional dialogue, and community engagement are no longer optional. They are essential responsibilities for anyone committed to managing digital risk and building sustainable cyber resilience.

AI Agent Security
Architecture, Attack Surface, and Defense

A Practical 90Day Roadmap for Securing Agentic AI Systems | 2025

As organizations rapidly adopt agentic AI systems capable of autonomous planning, decision making, and execution the traditional security perimeter is no longer sufficient.
AI agents are not just applications; they are actors with authority, context, memory, and access.

This whitepaper delivers a practical, architecture driven security framework for organizations deploying or planning to deploy autonomous AI agents across enterprise environments.

What this guide addresses:

Agentic AI Architecture & Trust Boundaries
A clear breakdown of agent components, decision loops, tool invocation layers, memory stores, and execution environments and where security controls must be enforced.

Expanded Attack Surface of AI Agents
From prompt injection and tool misuse to memory poisoning, agent to agent privilege escalation, and unauthorized action execution.

MCP Hardening Framework (Model Context Privilege)
A structured approach to securing:
•Models (LLMs, fine tuned agents, orchestration logic)
•Context (memory, embeddings, retrieved data, system prompts)
•Privileges (API access, identity, execution rights, autonomy scope)

Defensive Controls for Agent Risk Reduction
Including:
•Least privilege execution and scoped autonomy
•Runtime monitoring and behavior validation
•Policy based action gating and human in the loop checkpoints
•Secure tool interfaces and auditability by design

90-Day Security Implementation Roadmap
A prioritized, effort aware checklist covering:
•Governance and ownership models
•Secure architecture baselines
•Control implementation and validation
•SOC, IR, and continuous monitoring alignment

Why this matters
Agentic AI failures are not theoretical.
A single compromised agent can:
•Perform unauthorized actions at machine speed
•Propagate errors across interconnected workflows
•Undermine trust, compliance, and operational resilience

Security, governance, and resilience must be embedded by design not added after deployment.

This whitepaper is written for CISOs, CTOs, AI platform owners, security architects, and board level stakeholders who need actionable guidance not abstract principles.

If your organization is experimenting with or scaling autonomous AI agents, this roadmap is not optional.

A One Year Journey From Strategy to Reality
9 Cybersecurity Seminars Across Dubai 4 CISOs & Security Teams

نهمین تجربه ارائه تخصصی در امارات-دبی | یک سال، ۹ سمینار امنیت سایبری
این ارائه، نهمین تجربه من در ارائه سمینارهای تخصصی امنیت سایبری در دبی طی یک سال گذشته بود، مسیری فشرده اما ارزشمند که عمدتا با تمرکز بر CISOها و تیم‌های امنیت سازمانی شکل گرفت.

در این سمینارها، تمرکز صرفا بر ابزار یا فناوری نبود، بلکه بر موضوعاتی بود که امروز مستقیما در میز تصمیم‌گیری مدیران امنیت مطرح است:
-تحول نقش CISO در عصر AI و GenAI
-Governance، Risk و مسئولیت‌پذیری در تصمیم‌سازی‌های مبتنی بر هوش مصنوعی
-فاصله بین وعده‌های AI و واقعیت‌های عملیاتی در SOCها
-Automation هوشمند، بدون قربانی‌کردن کنترل، شفافیت و پاسخ‌گویی
-امنیت به‌عنوان یک توانمندساز کسب‌وکار، نه یک مانع عملیاتی

آنچه این ۹ تجربه را برای من معنادار کرد، تکرار یک دغدغه مشترک در میان رهبران امنیت بود:
چگونه می‌توان هم نوآور بود، هم امن! هم سریع حرکت کرد، هم مسئولانه؟
برای من، این مسیر بیش از ارائه محتوا بود، گفت‌وگویی مداوم با جامعه حرفه‌ای امنیت درباره آینده‌ای که در آن اعتماد، تاب‌آوری و حاکمیت امنیتی دیگر انتخاب نیستند، بلکه پیش‌نیاز بقا هستند و این مسیر ادامه دارد.

Threat Research

According to the Elastic Global Threat Report 2025, the threat landscape is undergoing a fundamental shift.
The era of slow, patient, stealthy attacks is fading replaced by high velocity, execution driven threats.

Adversaries are increasingly weaponizing AI to generate and deploy new threats at scale, prioritizing speed and immediate impact over long term persistence. As a result, the attack lifecycle is now measured in minutes, not months.

For defenders, this means one thing:
Effective defense now depends on rapid, context rich decision making, powered by both real time telemetry and historical data. Speed, context, and adaptability are no longer optional, they are essential.

Executive Insight: Dark Covenant 3.0

The latest Dark Covenant 3.0 report highlights a critical shift in Russia’s cybercriminal ecosystem: what was once broad tolerance has evolved into active state management.

Rather than dismantling cybercrime, Russian authorities appear to selectively enforce, sacrificing low-value actors while protecting ransomware groups and operators that retain intelligence or geopolitical value. Cybercrime in this context is no longer just a profit driven activity it has become a tool of influence, leverage, and information collection.

International efforts such as Operation Endgame have increased pressure and disrupted parts of the ransomware supply chain. However, the report shows that enforcement outcomes inside Russia remain conditional and strategic, shaped by political utility rather than legality. This has led to fragmentation, mistrust, rebranding, and decentralization within the underground without eliminating core capabilities.

The key takeaway for defenders and decision makers is clear: Russia should no longer be viewed as a uniform “safe haven,” but as a managed market where protection is granted based on usefulness to state interests.

Understanding this model is essential for realistic threat assessment, policy design, and long term cyber defense strategy.

We Don’t Run Awareness Programs. We Engineer Security Culture.

In most organizations, Security Awareness is still treated as a checkbox: A few classes, some slides, a test, a certificate and everyone moves on. But risk does not disappear because people attended a course. It disappears when human behavior changes.

Over the past three years, Diyako Secure Bow has developed and delivered a CISO grade Security Awareness & Culture Engineering model aligned with international frameworks such as CSCU (Certified Secure Computer User) but implemented far beyond training.

We did not aim to create informed users.
We designed systems to create security conscious people.
Why most security awareness programs fail
Most vendors deliver:
• Classes
• Content
• Exams
• Certificates

But they do not deliver:
• Behavioral change
• Reduced human risk
• Organizational maturity
• Security culture

Organizations end up with trained employees but still vulnerable humans. That is the gap Diyako was built to close. What we do differently
Our approach is built on three core pillars:

1. We translate cyber risk into human language
We convert complex threats phishing, social engineering, identity theft, malware, data leakage into scenarios every employee recognizes from daily life:
Email, WhatsApp, mobile phones, banking, cloud access, collaboration tools.

Security becomes personal
not technical.
⸻
2. We engineer behavior, not memory
Our programs are designed to rewire habits:
• Users report suspicious emails
• They stop clicking unknown links
• They protect identities and credentials
• They treat devices and data as organizational assets

This moves organizations from:
Awareness → Behavior → Culture
That is where real security starts.
⸻
3. We measure maturity, not attendance

We track:
• Human risk reduction
• Behavioral compliance
• Social engineering resistance
• Security response quality

Not “how many people attended,” but
how much risk has been removed.
⸻
The result

Organizations that implemented Diyako’s model did not just “train their staff.” They built human firewalls. Security became part of how people think, decide, and act not just what they know.

CSCU is not just a certification it is a mindset

The CSCU philosophy is simple:
Every user is a security control.

At Diyako Secure Bow, we took that philosophy out of PDFs and injected it into organizational DNA.
If your organization wants:
• Lower breach probability
• Higher cyber resilience
• Real security culture
• CISO-level human risk governance

You do not need another course.
You need Security Culture Engineering With Diyako Secure Bow CISO Level Security Awareness & Cyber Culture Architecture

APWG Q4-Phishing Report March 2025

1. Global Threat Level
Phishing reached its highest level ever in Q4-2025 with 989,123 unique attacks, confirming that cyber fraud is now industrialized and scalable, not opportunistic.
⸻
2. SMS is Now the Primary Attack Vector
Attackers mainly Chinese groups are using SMS (“smishing”) to impersonate toll operators (EZ Pass, toll roads, parking systems), bypassing email security and corporate defenses. Smishing is now the fastest-growing and least-defended attack channel.
⸻
3. Domain & Infrastructure Abuse
Criminals rely on weakly governed domains:
•TOP
•CYOU
•XI
These are mass registered through Chinese registrars and remain active despite ICANN compliance failures giving criminals cheap, fast, disposable phishing infrastructure.
⸻
4. Who Is Being Targeted
Attackers no longer go after banks first they go after identities. Most targeted sectors:
1.SaaS & Webmail (23.3%)
2.Social Media (22.5%)
3.Financial Institutions (11.9%)
Compromising email and SaaS gives attackers access to everything else.
⸻
5. Business Email Compromise (BEC) Is More Dangerous
BEC attacks decreased in number, but the average wire transfer demand doubled to $128,980.
Criminals are now:
•More selective
•More researched
•More financially precise
⸻
6. How Criminals Get Paid
Main cash out methods:
•Gift cards (49%)
•Cryptocurrency (12%) exploding
•Payroll redirection & bank fraud
Crypto extortion is rising fast due to high Bitcoin prices.
⸻
7. Gmail Is the Main Criminal Platform
81% of BEC scam accounts are Gmail.
Criminals prefer consumer cloud platforms because they are:
•Free
•Trusted
•Hard to block

Phishing is no longer an IT problem. It is now:
A financial crime + identity warfare + mobile device threat

Defenses must move beyond email security into:
•SMS protection
•Identity security
•Brand/domain protection
•Payment verification controls
•Human behavior engineering

The DoD Cybersecurity Policy Chart

The DoD Cybersecurity Policy Chart (2025) is more than a reference diagram, it is a governance map that shows how cybersecurity authority, responsibility, and compliance are structurally enforced across the U.S. defense ecosystem.

Developed under the authority of the Department of Defense and curated by the DoD Deputy CIO for Cybersecurity, this chart consolidates decades of policy evolution into a single, navigable control framework.

1. What This Chart Actually Represents
At its core, the chart answers one critical question:
“Who sets cybersecurity requirements, who enforces them, and what standards must be followed across systems, missions, and contractors?”
It visualizes:
•Binding DoD Instructions (DoDI)
•Overarching DoD Directives (DoDD)
•Federal overlays (e.g., NIST, FedRAMP)
•Mission-specific cybersecurity obligations

This makes it a policy topology, not just a checklist.

2. Governance First, Technology Second
A key insight from the 2025 version is that cybersecurity is governed as an enterprise risk, not an IT function.
Notable characteristics:
•Clear separation of policy authority vs technical execution
•Strong alignment with enterprise risk management (ERM)
•Cybersecurity treated as a command responsibility, not a SOC task

3. Zero Trust as an Embedded Assumption
Unlike earlier policy generations where Zero Trust appeared as an initiative, the 2025 chart reflects Zero Trust as a baseline assumption.
Implications:
•Identity, device, network, application, and data controls are policy mandated
•Authorization is continuous, not perimeter based
•Compliance is evaluated against architecture, not just controls

4. Why This Matters Beyond the DoD
Even if you are not operating inside the U.S. defense supply chain, this chart is highly relevant because it represents:
•One of the most mature cyber governance models globally
•A living reference for aligning ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and CMMC like models

For CISOs, regulators, and board members, this is a benchmark document.

5. Strategic Takeaway
The DoD Cybersecurity Policy Chart (2025) reinforces a hard truth:
Cybersecurity maturity is not achieved by more tools, it is achieved by enforceable governance.
Organizations that fail to map authority, accountability, and policy lineage will always struggle, regardless of how advanced their technical stack is.
