Your Home Office Is Part of Your Security Perimeter A clean desk policy used to mean putting away sensitive papers, shredding documents, and not leaving passwords where someone could see them. That still matters, but the desk has changed. Today, work happens at kitchen tables, spare bedrooms, home offices, and shared family spaces. For remote […]
Legacy Debt Is the Risk Hiding in Your Server Room The most dangerous technology in your business is often the system everyone is afraid to touch. It still works. It runs something important. Someone built a workaround years ago, and now the whole team quietly depends on it. That is legacy debt. It is not […]
AI Strategy Is Not the Same as AI Policy Businesses are moving quickly with AI. Employees are using ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, browser-based AI tools, built-in software features, and other solutions to save time and improve their work. That momentum can be valuable, but it also creates a challenge for business leaders. Many organizations are responding […]
Why MFA Cannot Always Save a Stolen Login Session Multi-factor authentication is one of the most important security controls a business can use. But MFA is not the end of the story.

But modern phishing has moved past simply collecting passwords. Adversary-in-the-Middle attacks, often called AiTM attacks, target the login session itself. The user clicks a […]
The Employee Exit Problem Starts Before They Leave When an employee leaves, the scramble can feel like an offboarding problem. Who has their laptop? What systems did they use? Who knows the password?
