Nightscope Radar Briefing 2026: What Attackers Did, What Our SOC Saw, and What to Consider for 2027
Nightscope Radar is N-able’s intelligence briefing for MSPs and IT teams. This year-end edition follows a news-briefing format: tight segments, clear analysis and practical takeaways. Nightscope Threat Research and Adlumin MDR experts walk through the incidents our teams tracked in 2026, how our SOC responded, and what to consider as you plan for 2027.
What the briefing covers:
- How stolen and reused credentials have been used against internet-facing devices such as firewalls and VPNs, and why applying a patch is only one step.
- How a compromised application credential was used to sign in to Microsoft 365 tenants without a password or MFA prompt in a publicly reported 2026 incident, and how to review the apps connected to your tenants.
- What a short patch window looks like in practice, using N-able’s response to the October 2026 PHP vulnerabilities as an example.
- How an analyst moves from a raw alert to a decision, using an anonymized example.
- Latest on the radar: The newest threats worth your attention, selected days before we go live.
- Your 2027 checklist: A practical set of defensive considerations to take back to your team.
