Secure Laptop Deployment for Distributed Teams: Closing the MDM Enrollment Gap

Remote and hybrid work are now standard. Gartner reports that seven in ten U.S. knowledge workers split their week between home and office-or stay fully remote. That shift turns every laptop into a branch office, yet many devices still cross borders and porches without encryption, policy enforcement, or MDM enrollment. Mistakes are costly: enterprises misplace an average of 103 laptops a year and pay about $234,000 just in replacements. We call that blind spot the last-mile laptop dilemma.

Virtual Private Server - What It Is and When You Need It

Running a website on the wrong hosting is like trying to run a growing business from your bedroom. At first, it works fine, but eventually you need more space, better equipment, and your own office. A virtual private server gives you that upgrade without the massive cost of renting an entire building. It's the sweet spot between basic shared hosting and expensive dedicated servers. Let's break down what VPS actually means and whether you need one for your website or business.

How to Stay Safe While Getting Started With Cryptocurrency in 2026

Crypto isn't the wild frontier it was five years ago. Regulation has tightened, institutional money has poured in, and major financial platforms have made digital assets more accessible than ever. But here's the thing: the security risks haven't gone away. If anything, they've evolved. For newcomers looking to enter the space, the challenge isn't just understanding blockchain or picking the right coin. It's knowing how to protect yourself from day one. The good news is that a few smart habits can make a massive difference.

Why CISOs should prioritize continuous control monitoring in 2026

In a recent roundup of strategic initiatives for CISOs, I argued that continuous assurance is the 2026 operating model. Across all ten initiatives, the pattern was clear. Security is no longer being evaluated by effort, it’s being evaluated by outcomes. Boards, customers, and regulators are no longer asking what tools you deployed or how busy your security team is. They are asking a simpler, harder question: Can you prove that your controls are working right now?

2026 State of Software Security: Risky Debt is Rising, But Your Strategy Starts Here

You can’t fix what you ignore. For years, organizations have raced to deploy software faster, often leaving a trail of unresolved vulnerabilities in their wake. We call this trail security debt, or flaws that are left unresolved over a year since being discovered, and it isn’t just a technical metric. It’s a compounding business risk that is growing harder to manage every year. Today, we are releasing the 2026 State of Software Security (SoSS) report.

The Vendor Tiering Series: Why Tier Your Vendors

The thing about blanket approaches is that they rarely work or scale. The same holds true for third-party cyber risk management. Treating every provider, stakeholder, or partner with the same intensity is neither productive nor cost-effective. While defaulting to treating every vendor at the same risk level is common, it is not a resilient security strategy.

The Rise of the AI Security Engineer: A New Discipline for an AI-Native World

We are witnessing the birth of a new profession in the blend of security engineering and security operations, a discipline that didn't exist five years ago because the systems it protects didn't exist five years ago. As artificial intelligence moves from experimental to essential and agentic systems begin to perceive, reason, act, and learn autonomously, we need defenders who can operate at the same velocity. I'm talking about the AI Security Engineer.

Cloud Security for Financial Services: Building a Compliant AWS Environment

Financial services organizations moving to AWS often discover that retrofitting security and compliance controls costs three to five times more than building them in from the start. Compliance gaps discovered during audits can delay critical initiatives, trigger regulatory scrutiny, and expose organizations to unnecessary risk.

Post-incident review: Source map exposure on non-production subdomain

Update (February 24, 2026): @vmfunc has published part two of their series about Persona. You can read it here. We will update this post with part three when it is released. On February 16, 2026, security researchers @vmfunc, @MDLcsgo, and @DziurwaF published a blog post identifying exposed frontend source maps on a non-production subdomain under withpersona-gov.com.

GDPR Incident Response for Websites: What to Do When Tracking Violations Are Found

So your team just uncovered a GDPR tracking violation, a consent anomaly that, after a deeper look, turns out to be a pixel firing regardless of consent state.” From the looks of it, it’s definitely an ePrivacy violation. But the harder question, the one you now have to race against time to answer, is whether this is also a notifiable breach under GDPR. For that determination, you now have 72 hours. One gets fixed with a tag manager update and a stern email to marketing.
