One misconfiguration. That’s all it takes to expose an enterprise to attackers. Weak access management isn’t a new issue, yet it remains a leading cause of breaches. When security training isn't prioritized, teams overlook critical misconfigurations—leaving the door wide open for attackers. Real security resilience starts with awareness and education. ?? ???? If your developers, DevOps, and IT teams aren’t trained to recognize these risks, security tools alone won’t be enough to keep your organization safe. ??

Companies are drowning in software security debt, and it's only getting worse. Unfixed vulnerabilities, rushed development cycles, and the constant pressure to ship faster are stacking up risks that security teams can't keep up with. The backlog keeps growing, and so does the likelihood of a breach. ?? ?? Patching alone won't solve the problem. The cycle continues if teams don't understand the risks they're introducing. Security training—a real, hands-on experience that helps developers and security teams think like attackers—must be part of the strategy. ??

Why do organizations keep making the same security mistakes? Because lessons aren’t truly learned until they’re experienced. Every year, new breaches expose old vulnerabilities. The same misconfigurations, unpatched software, and weak credentials keep making headlines. If we know the risks, why do we keep failing? Because theory isn’t enough—real learning happens through hands-on practice. ? That’s why CMD+CTRL’s interactive security training lets teams experience attacks firsthand so they don’t repeat history. Is your team learning from the past or waiting for the next breach? ?? ??

Cloud-based AI services are becoming a prime target for cybercriminals. ???? ?? Attackers are now selling illicit access to Azure’s LLM services, exposing critical vulnerabilities in application security. This isn’t just about AI—it’s about fundamentals: identity management, misconfigurations, and access control flaws. Organizations that integrate security training into their development and IT workflows are better equipped to prevent these breaches. At CMD+CTRL, we believe hands-on security training is essential to avoid these threats. Have you assessed your team’s ability to recognize and mitigate cloud-based vulnerabilities? ?? ?? ??

Most organizations invest in training—but not the kind that effectively reduces software security risks. New research from CMD+CTRL uncovers critical gaps in how companies approach secure development—and the risks they’re taking as a result. ?? 44% of executives admit their teams don’t get enough software security training, leaving them exposed. ???? 46% of organizations have non-security-trained developers building applications with low-code/no-code platforms—creating hidden vulnerabilities. ?? 95% of leaders agree that human oversight is essential to maintain security even with AI-driven development. The report goes beyond the numbers, exploring real-world software security failures, training investment trends, and the biggest deployment challenges. ??
