EDR and XDR platforms are positioned as the backbone of endpoint protection. They promise to detect, block, and contain threats before attackers can gain a foothold. Yet many organizations are left asking the same questions: Where is our EDR deployed? Is it configured properly? Could something be slipping through? The uncomfortable truth is that most…

The simple truth is that supply chain security depends on validation, not paperwork. Pentest Wednesday is about moving from forms and annual tests to continuous testing and measurable risk reduction, replacing paperwork with proof.

Patch Tuesday is a known event, but attackers are moving faster than ever. For a leading U.S. manufacturer, shifting from simple patching to continuous validation became the key to proving their fixes worked, turning uncertainty into confidence.

A Pentest Wednesday® Story Every security leader knows about Patch Tuesday. It’s the rhythm Microsoft set decades ago to deliver updates and fixes, and it quickly became a mainstay of IT and security operations. Teams plan change-windows around it. Vendors align updates to it. And for many organizations, Patch Tuesday has become the de facto…

NodeZero autonomously compromised GOAD in 14 mins by exploiting common Active Directory misconfigurations.

GOAD (Game Of Active Directory) is an intentionally vulnerable cyber range used by pentesters and defenders to explore common attack techniques in a Windows Active Directory environment. It's chock full of real-world misconfigurations and vulnerabilites, the type we see all the time in client environments. As such, it's a great way to understand the capabilities…

Enterprises are racing to harness AI to automate workflows, secure infrastructure, and accelerate decision-making. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: AI that doesn’t see your environment through an attacker’s eyes is operating blind.

When we set out to build the first version of the NodeZero MCP Server, we had two guiding principles: Most Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers today are overpowered and underdefended. They often: We didn’t build ours that way. The NodeZero MCP Server is a constrained, API-native runtime designed to give agents safe, structured access to…

Vulnerability management started with scanning — identify assets, fingerprint software, and match scan findings to known CVEs. Then came “risk-based” approaches that promised smarter prioritization. But in practice, most programs still just patch what scores the highest. Risk is inferred, not proven. Fixes are assumed to work. And security teams are left guessing what actually…

Scanning and patching aren't enough. Learn the critical difference between being vulnerable and being exploitable—and why it's the key to preventing real-world breaches.
