Your Security Software Can Be Bypassed—Will Your Evidence Hold Up in Court? 

Let’s start with a question: Have you ever inspected your IT team’s work? Not asked them how things are going. Not nodded while they mentioned “zero trust” and “EDR.” Actually inspected their work. Because you do it everywhere else. You ...

Sued Yet? You Will Be.

I was talking to a lawyer the other day—one of the good ones. The kind who’s seen too many “it’ll never happen to me” business owners get chewed up in court.  I asked him a simple question:  “How do you ...

The Day After the Breach: 3 CFO Mistakes That Turn Cyber Incidents Into Lawsuits

Don’t You Already DO This for Me? The One Assumption That Could End Your Business

Last week, I had dinner with the CFO of a 100-person logistics company. Not FedEx-scale, but a solid growing company. Their business? Making sure their clients’ packages show up on time, every time. (Unlike my recent experiences with FedEx.) The ...

Your Employees Are Hoarding Digital Trash—and It’s Going to Cost You Millions 

Let’s play a game. When was the last time you took out the trash? No, not metaphorical trash. The real stuff. The kitchen bin—overflowing with last night’s takeout, your kids’ science project leftovers, and something that might have once been ...

Would You Trust the Guy Who Fixes Your Printer to Defend Your Retirement? 

We’ve audited 4,627 networks in the last 90 days. What did we find?  The same head-scratching, stomach-turning reality again and again: Business owners putting their life’s work—their legacy, their retirement plan—into the hands of someone who just got the printer ...
