Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity moves fast, and most breaches still start with something preventable: an unpatched CVE, a misconfigured server, a phished credential. This category collects our field notes on the threats we see across real engagements and scans, from AI-powered attacks and ransomware economics to insider risk and supply chain compromise. Each article explains how an attack actually works, who it targets, and the specific controls that stop it. No fear-mongering and no vendor fluff, just practical defense guidance you can hand to your engineering team and act on this week.
