Cultivating a Security Mindset Starts With You

A security mindset goes way past ticking boxes – it’s embedded in how we think and work each day. Development teams can’t just patch holes as they pop up anymore. That’s what every cyber attack in the last five years…

Audit Insecure Default Configurations Before Hackers Do

Bad default settings stick out like missing locks on front doors. Take guest accounts – they’re still switched on in many operating systems right out of the box, giving anyone a way to sneak in. There’s the common sight of…

Framework Secure Default Settings for Cyber Safety

Security settings don’t work like guesswork – they need teeth from the start. We see it every week in our bootcamp, when students run their first network scans and discover gaping holes that shouldn’t exist. Their test systems sit there…
