  • Attackers keep getting in, often through the same predictable weak spots: identity systems, third-party access, and poorly secured perimeter devices. A new threat report from Barracuda based on Managed XDR telemetry from 2025 shows that many successful incidents still start with basic access and configuration failures, not advanced malware. The report draws on more than two trillion IT events, nearly 600,000 security alerts, and more than 300,000 protected assets monitored over the year. Barracuda’s SOC … More →
