Welcome to the Latest Edition of the EMEA Channels Cybersecurity Newsletter!
April is in full swing, and we’re hitting the ground running!
We were excited to be part of the National Cyber Security Show from 8th - 10th April 2025 at the NEC, Birmingham, UK. It was a busy show and we had the luxury of representing Vicarius.io. There was a lot of genuine interest in vulnerability remediation!
And wow, well done Sekoia.io. Boom!! Raising 26 million Euros for their Series B round. This will allow them to continue with their rapid international expansion with world class MSSPs, reinventing security operations with AI and Threat Intelligence
But that’s just the beginning! This edition is packed with cutting-edge industry insights, emerging threats, and vendor spotlights that you won’t want to miss.
🔎 Here’s what’s shaping cybersecurity this month:
✅ Expanding Attack Surfaces – Are your IoT devices putting you at risk? RunZero’s latest research uncovers shocking vulnerabilities.
✅ Beyond Patching – Why Gartner says Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) is the future of cybersecurity.
✅ Mac Users Under Attack – A new phishing campaign shifts its focus—how LayerX Labs is exposing the latest tactics.
✅ Your Brand at Risk – Digital Risk Protection (DRPS) is no longer optional. Brandefense.io reveals how to stay ahead of cybercriminals.
✅ MSSPs & SOC Leaders: Overwhelmed? – Sekoia.io brings SIEM-XDR, SOAR, and CTI together to simplify security operations.
Did you know that your office printer, smart thermostat, or even your WiFi-connected crockpot could be a security risk? 🤯
The latest RunZero Research Report dives deep into attack surface expansion, risky assets, and emerging threats—and trust us, the findings are jaw-dropping:
🔹 Old enemies never die – End-of-life systems are still everywhere, from outdated Windows servers to long-forgotten Linux machines.
🔹 Your "smart" devices might not be so smart – We found IP forwarding enabled on printers, smart TVs, and even light bulbs!
🔹 Zero-days are now "negative-one" days – Threat actors are moving faster than ever, exploiting vulnerabilities before defenders even know they exist.
🔹 Hybrid forever – Cloud migrations aren’t eliminating on-prem assets; they’re doubling them (surprise!).
And perhaps the biggest revelation? Your attack surface is way bigger than you think.

By 2026, non-patchable attack surfaces will grow from less than 10% to more than half of an enterprise's total exposure. That’s a massive shift—one that traditional patching alone won’t solve.
So, what’s the answer?
🗣️ "It starts with a C and ends with TEM."
Yes—Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM). Gartner and industry leaders have emphasized the need to move beyond compliance-driven vulnerability lists and towards proactive, risk-based remediation.
If you’re ready to go beyond patching and see how vRx by Vicarius can secure every attack surface.
A new phishing attack campaign, targeting Mac users and identified by LayerX Labs, shows the trials and tribulations of combating online phishing, and how attacks morph and shift in response to adaptations by security tools.
For the past few months, LayerX has been monitoring a sophisticated phishing campaign that initially targeted Windows users by masquerading as Microsoft security alerts. The campaign’s goal was to steal user credentials by employing deceptive tactics that made victims believe their computers were compromised.
Now, with new security features rolled out by Microsoft, Chrome, and Firefox, the attackers have shifted their focus to Mac users.

Think your cybersecurity stops at firewalls and endpoint protection? Think again.
Your brand, domains, executive identities, and even supply chain are prime targets for cybercriminals lurking in the dark web, social media, and phishing campaigns.
That’s where Digital Risk Protection (DRPS) comes in.
And when it comes to proactive brand defense, no one does it better than Brandefense.io.
Why Brandefense.io leads the DRPS game:
✅ Dark Web & Threat Intelligence Monitoring – Know when your data appears where it shouldn’t.
✅ Phishing & Domain Protection – Stop brand impersonation before it ruins your reputation. ✅ Executive & Social Media Protection – Keep high-profile individuals safe from cyber threats.
✅ Attack Surface Monitoring – Detect vulnerabilities before attackers do.
Your brand’s reputation is an asset worth defending. Brandefense.io gives you the visibility, intelligence, and action plan to stay ahead of threats.
The question isn’t if you need Digital Risk Protection—it’s when. And the time is NOW.
Running a SOC or an MSSP today feels like juggling chainsaws while riding a unicycle. Too many alerts, too many threats, and not enough time.
Enter Sekoia.io – your all-in-one, open, and unified SOC platform that actually makes your job easier (and dare we say… enjoyable?).
SIEM-XDR – Because you deserve real-time detection that actually makes sense. 🤖 SOAR – Let automation handle the repetitive stuff, so you can focus on the real threats. 🕵️ CTI – Actionable threat intel, because knowing is half the battle (the other half is stopping the bad guys).
And the best part? No vendor lock-in, just seamless integrations. You keep the tools you love and ditch the ones you don’t.
So, if your SOC feels like an episode of Cybersecurity Survivor, maybe it’s time to try Sekoia.io and take control.
Stay informed. Stay secure. And see you next month in the EMEA Channels Cybersecurity Newsletter!!
