Zero Trust Implementation: Why it Matters and How to Implement
Zero Trust is a security mindset and architecture that assumes no user, device, or network is inherently trustworthy, requiring continuous verification for every access request. Unlike a single tool or product, it requires a holistic strategy that integrates strong identity controls, such as MFA and least privilege access. Success with Zero Trust hinges on cultural shifts, executive buy-in, and ongoing adaptation to threats that emerge beyond the initial setup.
The ROI of Modern DLP Solutions: Why It's Worth the Investment
Every security leader is tasked with a difficult balancing act: reducing risk while controlling cost. Cybersecurity budgets aren’t unlimited, and executive teams demand clear justification for every new tool. Data loss prevention (DLP) has often struggled to prove its value in this context. Traditional solutions were expensive to deploy, noisy in practice, and often delivered more frustration than measurable protection.
Delivering Microsoft 365 Management Security and Protection Profitably
Summary Microsoft 365 is mission-critical for SMBs, but managing it with fragmented backup and security tools creates complexity, security gaps, and shrinking margins for MSPs. Disconnected solutions increase manual work, operational overhead, and risk across email, data, identity, and compliance. A unified Microsoft 365 protection approach consolidates backup, XDR, email security, archiving, security awareness training, and posture management into a single multi-tenant platform.
How Engineering and Security Teams Can Meet DORA's Technical Requirements
Every financial entity operating in the European Union must comply with the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). DORA focuses on whether systems can withstand, respond to, and recover from ICT-related disruptions and whether this can be demonstrated with evidence. For engineering, security, and risk teams, this introduces a practical requirement. Operational resilience must be observable in live systems, continuously tested, and traceable over time.
Agentless IoT Security: How to Secure Devices You Can't Touch in 2026
As IoT and operational technology environments expand, organisations are discovering that a large portion of their device estate simply cannot be secured using traditional methods. Many devices cannot run agents, cannot be patched regularly, or cannot tolerate downtime. In 2025, this reality is no longer the exception—it is the norm.
Honeytokens with ggshield: plant tripwires that alert on secret use
In this video, we introduce ggshield honeytoken and why it’s one of the most powerful tools in the GitGuardian toolbox. A honeytoken is a decoy secret that alerts you the moment someone tries to use it or validate it. Think of it like a digital tripwire. In GitGuardian, honeytokens can be created through the dashboard or API, and they look like real AWS keys because they are valid credentials. The difference is they grant zero access and are isolated to an AWS account GitGuardian maintains specifically for this purpose.
Microsoft E3 vs E5: Understanding the Security Coverage You Already Own
Assessing Microsoft E3 and E5 is less about the license tier and more about understanding the security coverage you already own. In our conversation, Todd and Garrett break down what often gets missed in the E3 → E5 journey: Organizations move to E5 without clearly understanding:⇢ what coverage they already have with E3⇢ what incremental capabilities E5 actually adds⇢ and whether those capabilities are being adopted at all.
