The Biggest Issue with Cybersecurity

The biggest issue with cybersecurity is budget. Every day, businesses work to maximize their bottom line—to do more with less, as it were.  This is an old way of looking at business, and it leads to what a friend of mine coined “technology debt.”  Technology debt can affect much more than application performance or your capital expenditures (CAPEX).  [...]

  • Understanding Ransomware-as-a-Service

Understanding Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS)

Ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) is a dangerous type of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provided as an easy-to-use cyber-criminal attack platform.

Protecting Your Company Against Spear Phishing Attacks

When it comes to protecting your company’s data and infrastructure, security products are not enough to prevent breaches.

Cybersecurity Insurance vs IRR as Part of IT

We could spend this time discussing the merits of cybersecurity insurance vs IRR (Incident Response and Remediation) protocols. But we would be writing about a false dichotomy. A strong cybersecurity approach requires alignment between prevention and coverage. Unfortunately, a lot of people think along these lines instead: “If I have a good plan in place, then I’ll be [...]
