Miggo Revolutionises Vulnerability Management with Predictive VulnDB
Miggo has unveiled VulnDB, a free, predictive vulnerability database designed to overhaul how organisations assess and prioritise software risks. By combining runtime context, exploit simulations and function-level tracing, VulnDB shifts the paradigm from reactive vulnerability tracking to proactive threat prediction, promising to drastically reduce noise from Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures and highlight only those flaws that truly matter in a live environment. At launch, VulnDB distinguishes itself by pinpointing the exact functions that introduce risk and determining whether they are exploitable within an application's runtime. This level of precision enables security teams to focus remediation efforts on actionable threats, rather than sifting through thousands of potential vulnerabilities with uncertain impact. Miggo claims the system begins analysis within seconds of a CVE's publication—tracing, simulating exploits, and providing real‑time insights without human intervention. The platform's open-access offering grants all users technical root‑cause analysis, exploitation conditions, and function‑level mapping—electricity for developers seeking to stay ahead of attackers. Enterprise customers gain an additional layer of protection through dynamic Web Application Firewall rules that adapt based on emerging exploit patterns. ADVERTISEMENT Miggo's predictive approach addresses a significant problem in contemporary cybersecurity: the overwhelming volume of CVEs—tens of thousands annually—that often remain theoretical until they intersect with specific applications. By integrating runtime observability and exploit simulation, VulnDB avoids false positives and delivers prioritisation in line with real-world risk. The company's roots lie in its Application Detection and Response platform, launched last year with US$7.5 million in seed funding from YL Ventures and other top-tier investors. ADR provides visibility into live application behaviour, maps distributed application components, detects deviations and enacts mitigation, enabling precise runtime threat containment. VulnDB extends this capability by delivering predictive intelligence to a broader user base. CEO Daniel Shechter highlights that applications remain a primary attack vector, driven by both architectural complexity and attacker focus on runtime behaviour. CTO Itai Goldman emphasises that 'everyone's drowning in CVEs, but no one's telling you which ones can actually be exploited through your app'. Their message resonates as security teams confront a growing technical debt and shrinking remediation bandwidth. Experts in the security community note that the addition of exploit simulation—a process where potential attacks are modelled in a sandbox—provides tangible value. It shifts vulnerability management from inventory-driven triage to contextual decision-making based on whether a flaw is reachable, exploitable and present in live infrastructure. Miggo's timing aligns with intensifying pressure on organisations to shrink the window between discovery and exploitation. High-profile breaches such as MOVEit, SharePoint and Ivanti have exposed how attackers can weaponise vulnerabilities before manual patching practices can catch up. In such a high‑velocity threat landscape, VulnDB's speedy automation and runtime anchoring offer clear advantages. Miggo also addresses concerns over transparency and data equity by making its intelligence publicly accessible. This open baseline encourages broader adoption, while its enterprise tier amplifies value with live defences and tailored context. Head of Research Liad Eliyahu explains the strategy: 'Security isn't about knowing everything. It's about knowing what matters'. Academic studies on vulnerability prediction, such as the TROVON model, underline the ongoing struggle to differentiate high-risk components from noisy datasets. Miggo bypasses much of this complexity by utilising runtime evidence rather than historical inference, offering a practical complement to academic approaches. Early adopters report that VulnDB has streamlined vulnerability workflows, replacing CVE overwhelm with targeted insights. With free access available now on Miggo's website, developers and security teams are encouraged to trial predictive intelligence and integrate it with existing CI/CD pipelines.

CLDY Rolls Out Always-On 2FA for WordPress, Responding
SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 26 June 2025 - Singapore-based cloud provider CLDY has announced the launch of Always-On Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) across all WordPress sites it hosts, setting a new benchmark for default security in managed hosting environments. The feature comes pre-installed and fully configured—offering site owners strong, frictionless protection from the moment they go live. The move comes amid a surge In CMS-targeted cyberattacks. WordPress now powers over 43% of websites worldwide (W3Techs), making it a top target for attackers. In 2024 alone, over 90,000 attacks per minute were recorded against WordPress sites (Wordfence), with brute-force login attempts among the most common methods of compromise. 'Many web hosting owners still skip basic security because setting it up can be confusing or technical,' said Dan Chen, Managing Director at CLDY. 'We've taken that barrier away—our Always-On 2FA is pre-installed and enforced out of the box, so site admins don't need to lift a finger.' Unlike self-installed plugins that rely on the user to configure settings correctly, CLDY's solution is centrally managed and standardized across its hosting platform. This ensures consistent protection and removes the risk of misconfiguration—especially important for small businesses or first-time site owners. Security by Default, Not Upsell CLDY's 2FA implementation adds to its already robust security stack, which includes: Free SSL certificates Web Application Firewall (WAF) Email hosting with automated anti-spam filtering Malware scanning and automatic cleanup Free daily backups Optimized inbox delivery to Gmail, Microsoft 365, and others These features are bundled with all hosting plans at no additional cost, reinforcing CLDY's one-price, all-inclusive approach. Performance Remains a Priority Security upgrades have not compromised CLDY's core performance guarantees: 1-second Time-To-First-Byte for 99.9% of hosted sites 99.9% uptime, backed by a 200% service-level credit guarantee Built-in WordPress acceleration tools Single Sign-On (SSO) across all CLDY services Collaborator access for developers, agencies, or external teams With automated attacks becoming faster and more sophisticated, CLDY's hands-off security model could shift customer expectations in the managed WordPress space. 'Security should never be optional or left to chance,' said Dan Chen. 'We're raising the baseline of protection so that even non-technical users get enterprise-grade defence by default.'

Cloudflare vs. Akamai Technologies: Which CDN Stock Has an Edge?
Cloudflare NET and Akamai Technologies AKAM are both established players in the content delivery network (CDN) market. Both Cloudflare and Akamai are expected to gain from the rapidly expanding CDN space, which is expected to witness a CAGR of 18.04% from 2025 to 2034, per a report by Precedence Research. With this strong industry growth forecast, and given Cloudflare and Akamai Technologies' superior position in the CDN market, the question remains: Which stock has more upside potential? Let's break down their fundamentals, growth prospects, market challenges and valuation to determine which offers a more compelling investment case. Cloudflare's CDN provides a globally distributed, high-performance platform that speeds up content delivery, all the while keeping secure web connectivity. Cloudflare reduces latency and improves the load time of web pages by using a large network of edge locations to cache content close to users. Cloudflare uses methods like tiered caching, Argo smart routing, and cache reserve to minimize traffic and optimize delivery efficiency. The company goes further to secure its clients with security tools, including Distributed Denial of Services (DDoS), Web Application Firewall (WAF), bot management, and automatic Secure Sockets Layer and Transport Layer Security. Furthermore, NET's CDN supports advanced protocols, including HTTP/3, and offers developer flexibility through Cloudflare Workers. Cloudflare Workers lets developers build, deploy, and scale applications across Cloudflare's global network with a single command. The Workers platform has been adopted by more than three million developers since its launch date. Since the CDN contributes to a large portion of NET's revenues and is also gaining explosive growth, Cloudflare expects its 2025 revenues to be between $2.09 billion and $2.094 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for NET's 2025 revenues is pegged at 2.09 billion, indicating year-over-year growth of 25.4%. Cloudflare's non-GAAP earnings per share are anticipated to be between 79 cents and 80 cents. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same is pegged at 79 cents per share, indicating year-over-year growth of 5.3%. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Akamai Technologies is one of the oldest players in the enterprise CDN space, with a wide reach across 135 countries supported by 365,000 servers across the globe. Like any other established CDN player, Akamai also offers an ecosystem combining cloud computing and security in its CDN. Akamai Technologies integrates security offerings like DDoS and WAF protection with edge computing solutions like EdgeWorkers and EdgeKV. In addition to these, Akamai offers advanced features like API Acceleration, Adaptive Media Delivery, Download Delivery, and Global Traffic Management. AKAM's CDN platform handles approximately two trillion web interactions on a daily basis. Akamai Technologies has always priced its services higher than its competitors, prompting some of its key clients to develop their own DIY CDN initiatives. Hence, Akamai Technologies moved toward a more aggressive pricing strategy in the hope of attracting more customers and traffic to its network, especially in the video content segment, potentially hurting its profitability. Akamai Technologies' delivery segment revenues have been on a constant decline for the past 17 quarters, raising investors' concerns about the sustainability of its CDN business. Akamai Technologies' profitability is also under pressure. The company expects its non-GAAP earnings to be in the range of $6.10-$6.40 per share. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same is pegged at $6.27 per share, indicating a year-over-year decline of 3.2%. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research In the year-to-date period, Cloudflare shares have climbed 66.9% while Akamai Technologies has plunged 18.3%. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Cloudflare is trading at a forward sales multiple of 26.65X, while AKAM is trading at a forward sales multiple of 2.71X. Although Cloudflare seems to be overvalued, its strong position in the CDN space and robust financials justify its current valuation. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Both companies are major players in the CDN space, but Akamai Technologies is slowly losing its grip, given its declining delivery segment's revenues, while Cloudflare continues to capture market share and flourish in this space. Currently, Cloudflare carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), giving it an edge over Akamai Technologies, which has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).
