The “One Config Change” Breaking Your Security Model

Learn how small configuration changes can create hidden security risks over time—and why mature teams continually validate access, trust, and dependencies.

The Most Common Active Directory Weaknesses We See (And How They Become Attack Paths)

Explore common Active Directory weaknesses, how attackers chain them into paths to privileged access, and how security teams should prioritize remediation.

Preparing for AI-Assisted Phishing and Social Engineering

Learn how AI-assisted phishing makes social engineering more convincing—and which training, identity controls, and validation practices reduce risk.

The Quiet SaaS Risks Nobody Tracks

Learn how SaaS sprawl, stale OAuth tokens, and forgotten integrations create hidden security risks—and how mid-market teams can reduce their exposure.

Why Logging and Visibility Fail

This blog explores why organizations lose visibility during incidents, how attackers exploit fragmented environments, and what mature teams do differently to respond faster.

What Cyber Insurers Actually Want You to Fix First

Cyber insurance renewals now assess real-world exposure, attacker movement, and detection gaps.

AI Is Breaking Your Vendor Risk Management Process

AI features in trusted tools can expand data access and vendor risk. This post explains how integrations change system behavior and what teams must reassess.

The Hidden Risks Inside Mid-Market IT Environments

Mid-market organizations face frequent breaches not because attackers are more advanced, but because environments are harder to manage than assumed. Logging gaps, identity drift, and cloud sprawl create persistent exposure. With limited resources, these issues compound into real risk.

Cloud Misconfigurations: The #1 Cause of Breaches Nobody Wants to Admit

A grounded walkthrough of where real cloud environments fail, including identity assignments, storage exposure, monitoring gaps, and over-permissioning. The post focuses on fixes that materially reduce risk and ties technical issues directly to business impact.

Don’t Wait Until Q4 For Your Annual Pen Test

Year-end penetration tests are often driven by budgets or audits rather than risk reduction. Testing earlier in the year gives teams time to remediate findings, influence architecture decisions, and turn security testing into meaningful improvement—not just documentation.

My Thoughts on Claude Code Security

Michael Weimer shares his thoughts around the recent Claude Code Security hype.

MFA Isn’t Enough: Why Identity Is Now Your Largest Attack Surface

MFA helps, but identity sprawl and non human accounts now create the largest and least validated attack surface.

“We Passed Our Last Audit.” Why That Doesn't Mean Your Environment is Secure

Passing a cybersecurity audit doesn’t mean you’re secure. Learn what audits actually measure, why security degrades afterward, and how ongoing validation closes the gaps attackers exploit.

Don’t Over(React): A Measured Look at the New React / Next.js Vulnerability

Every few months, a framework vulnerability detonates headlines and panic follows. React2Shell is the latest. It’s serious if you’re exposed, and irrelevant if you’re not. This post breaks down how to tell the difference, without fear, noise, or guesswork.
