    Preemptive Exposure Management Is the Goal. Autonomous Attack Validation Is How You Get There.

    March 4, 2026
    Reacting to cyberattacks has never been a winning strategy. Most organizations know this, yet many still find themselves responding after the fact, investigating incidents, explaining impact, and rebuilding trust with leadership. What’s changed is a growing recognition that risk must be reduced before attackers act, not measured after the damage is done. That’s the promise…

    When “Read-Only” Isn’t: K8s nodes/proxy GET to RCE

    February 27, 2026
    A Kubernetes service account with “read-only” nodes/proxy GET permission can execute arbitrary commands across pods via the kubelet API. This post breaks down how WebSocket behavior turns monitoring access into cluster-wide RCE—and how NodeZero detects it.
    Kubernetes nodes/proxy GET permission leading to kubelet remote code execution attack path

    How Do I Choose the Best Pentesting Solution for My Business?

    February 25, 2026
    Choosing a penetration testing solution isn’t a box-checking exercise. When the approach doesn't fit the need, teams often waste budget and time while walking away with a false sense of security. A clean pentest report might look reassuring, but it doesn’t automatically mean defenses are effective or that risk is actually being reduced. A better…
