The MFA Mirage — When Remote PowerShell Turns Your “Secure” RDP Into an Open Door
Let’s get something straight: slapping MFA on RDP doesn’t mean your environment is secure. We know that sounds like heresy to some, but it’s the truth. Every week, we see organizations brag about “locking down remote access” with multifactor authentication — and yet, the same networks fall in minutes during red team exercises. Why? Because […]
Unrestricted PowerShell: The Backdoor You Built Yourself
Let’s cut straight to it. If your PowerShell environment isn’t locked down, you’ve already handed attackers the keys to your kingdom—they just haven’t turned the lock yet.

Weak Endpoint Security: The Silent Killer Inside Your Windows Environment
Let’s not sugarcoat it. If your Windows endpoints are misconfigured, you’re already living on borrowed time. And it won’t be because some genius hacker cracked your defenses.

When “Installed” Isn’t “Secure”: How Misconfigured Software Is Quietly Eating Your Business Alive
You bought the license. You pushed the image. You ticked the boxes. Job done, right? Dead Wrong.

Why Your Next Pen Test Might Be a Waste of Money
Every executive has heard it: “We need a penetration test.” Boards demand it. Regulators reference it. Vendors push it. But here’s the truth few will tell you: not every organization is ready for a penetration test. And rushing into one can drain budget, create noise, and deliver reports that never make it past the […]
