Not Zero-Days. Not Nation-States. A Firewall Rule.

A firewall's entire job is to control what gets in. In Reach's research, it was the most common source of a configuration-related near miss or exposure, ahead of EDR and identity controls.

Stop managing vendor lists Start mapping dependencies. #cybersecurity #mythos

Third-party risk management can’t stop at static vendor lists.

Government's Social Media Ban Is Just the Beginning

The UK is banning social media for children and I completely support protecting kids from harmful content. But I'm deeply concerned about what comes next.
