A New Milestone for IT Audit Labs
We’re excited to share that IT Audit Labs is now a Google Cloud partner.
Our team recently attended Google Cloud Next ’26 in Las Vegas, where we connected with the Google Cloud community and explored what’s ahead for secure, modern cloud environments.
This partnership is an important step in our continued growth. It reflects years of hands-on experience within the Google ecosystem, as well as our commitment to helping clients approach cloud security with more clarity, confidence, and strategic support.
We’re proud of the work that brought us here, and even more excited for what this makes possible for the organizations we serve.

This Month in Cybersecurity
From the IT Audit Labs Blog
OSINT Is an Account Recovery Risk
Attackers are not just collecting public information for curiosity. They are using phone numbers, old emails, breach data, and personal details to map weak recovery paths around your strongest controls. This blog breaks down how OSINT can expose privileged users, why phone-based recovery is risky, and what organizations can do to shrink the attack surface.
Browser Extensions Are an Identity Risk
Browser extensions may look like small productivity tools, but they can create major security gaps inside the browser where employees already access critical systems. This blog explains how malicious extensions can capture tokens, bypass MFA protections, manipulate sessions, and why organizations need to govern extensions like business applications, not harmless add-ons.
Reviews play a big role in helping businesses find reliable cybersecurity partners. If you have worked with IT Audit Labs, we would be grateful if you shared your experience.
