A recent cybersecurity week in review, published on December 14, 2025, highlighted key trends and tools shaping the digital security landscape. The review specifically drew attention to a collection of 40 open-source tools designed to bolster the security of technology stacks across various environments.
Securing the Stack with Open-Source Tools
The comprehensive review identified 40 open-source tools that play a crucial role in securing different layers of the technology stack. These tools offer diverse functionalities, ranging from vulnerability scanning and intrusion detection to secure coding practices and incident response. The availability and collaborative nature of open-source solutions provide organizations with flexible and often cost-effective options to enhance their cybersecurity posture against evolving threats.
Invisible IT: The Next Workplace Priority
The same review projected that “invisible IT” is set to become the next significant workplace priority. Invisible IT refers to the unauthorized or unmanaged technology and applications used by employees within an organization. As digital workplaces evolve, managing these hidden IT assets becomes increasingly critical for maintaining security, compliance, and operational efficiency. Addressing invisible IT involves implementing policies, tools, and cultural shifts to ensure all technology used within the enterprise aligns with security standards.
These insights from the week in review emphasize the ongoing importance of leveraging robust security tools and proactively addressing emerging challenges like invisible IT in modern organizations.
