Red Canary’s best of 2024

Red Canary celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2024, and now that we’re a tween, we officially have the authority to weigh in on what’s cool in infosec (not that it’s stopped us before). Browser updates are sus, defense in depth is brat, and all the cool kids are hanging out in the cloud.

Street cred aside, we’ve spent the last decade not only delivering exceptional security operations to our customers, but sharing our findings and insights with the industry at large. And we’re just getting started.

In the words of noted infosec hobbyist Taylor Swift, “it was the end of a decade, but the start of an age.”

Here’s a look back at some of our most beloved and informative content from 2024 and beyond.
