iO™ News & Updates
Big things are happening at Input Output, and your inbox (and critical infrastructure) will thank you. We’ve launched a free Email Deliverability & Security Tool to instantly check if your SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and BIMI are actually doing their job—or leaving you wide open to spoofing. We’re also officially teaming up with FloridaMakes and the NIST MEP program to help secure Florida’s manufacturers (cybersecurity VIP status unlocked). Meanwhile, iO™ ClickSafe™ eMail continues to make email security effortless for more organizations, and we’ve supercharged our penetration testing services by bringing in even more top-tier testers—think Avengers, but for firewalls.
Cybersecurity & Compliance News
Cybercriminals didn’t take a summer vacation—threat actors like Scattered Spider, Salt Typhoon, and Volt Typhoon are ramping up campaigns against U.S. infrastructure, while AI-powered phishing surges nearly 4,000% and record-breaking 7.3 Tbps DDoS attacks redefine “massive.” Governments are responding with sweeping moves like the EU Cyber Resilience Act and the UK’s new Cyber Security & Resilience Bill, but attackers are evolving just as fast—rolling out new tools like Interlock RAT, hijacking Microsoft Teams, and exploiting zero-day flaws in Chrome and SQLite. From schools and hospitals under siege to cloud backup sabotage and multicloud APTs operating “like businesses,” this month’s report shows just how fast the game is changing.
ISP Management & Updates
It’s that time again—time to review, test, and tighten your security program before year‑end deadlines sneak up. This quarter’s ISP requirements include revisiting your risk register, dusting off and testing your BCP and DRP plans, scheduling your external control audits, and locking in penetration tests before the Q4 rush. If you missed last quarter’s supplier assessments, internal audits, or access reviews, now’s your chance to catch up. To help sharpen your approach, we’ve also dropped new blogs on improving email deliverability, pen testing vs. vulnerability assessments, and the importance of web application pen tests—quick reads that could save you from big headaches later.
📨 Test Your Email Deliverability & Security
Worried your emails might be silently vanishing—or worse, spoofed by attackers? Input Output’s free Email Deliverability & Security Tool conducts instant checks of SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and BIMI configurations, identifying misconfigurations that can cause as much as 60% of outgoing emails to land in spam or be blocked—and exposing your domain to impersonation risks. You’ll get clear, actionable feedback to fix weak points fast—no DNS or coding wizardry required.
📰 FloridaMakes + NIST MEP: We’re In the Big Leagues
We just got the green light to work with FloridaMakes, part of the NIST Manufacturing Extension Partnership—a.k.a. the cybersecurity VIP lounge for U.S. manufacturers. Translation? We’re now perfectly positioned to help Florida’s manufacturers lock down critical infrastructure and fend off cyber‑baddies like pros.
🔍 iO™ ClickSafe™ eMail: Your Inbox’s New Bodyguard
Email security shouldn’t feel like solving a Rubik’s Cube blindfolded. That’s why more companies are handing the keys to iO™ ClickSafe™ eMail—our “set it and forget it” solution for SPF, DKIM, DMARC, BIMI, and encryption. It’s like giving your inbox a suit of armor (minus the awkward helmet hair).
🎓 Pen Testing Power‑Up: More Brains, Bigger Bang
We’ve leveled up our penetration testing game by bringing in even more elite testers. Think of it as adding Avengers to the roster—more specialties, more firepower, and way more ways to find (and fix) your weak spots before the villains do.
