Your Projects Are Dying—And It’s Your Help Desk’s Fault

Green Checkmarks Don’t Mean You’re Safe (Just Ask the Hacker Who Got In)

I just got off the phone with an MSP owner. He was furious. And not in the “my espresso machine is broken” kind of way.  He was mad because we found stuff—real stuff—during a third-party security assessment of his client’s ...

Stop Selling Cybersecurity Like You Just Discovered Fire
