Stop the Bleeding: How Revoking Admin Rights Eliminates Support Tickets
The most time-consuming ticket in your queue is rarely a hardware failure. It’s the PC infection that started when a user installed something they shouldn’t have been able to. Or it’s the broken configuration left behind after someone changed a setting IT can’t trace.Local administrator rights (the ability to install software, modify system settings, and override security controls) are given to end users far more often than the risk warrants. The usual reason is efficiency. The practical result is the opposite. Machines [...]
Is Your Invoice a Deepfake? Securing Your Accounts Payable Process Against Voice and Email Cloning
It’s a statistic that sends a shiver down the backs of SME owners, managers and employees. According to the FBI's 2025 Internet Crime Report, business email compromise (BEC) cost US businesses more than $3 billion last year.This makes it one of the most financially damaging cybercrimes on record. AI has made these attacks harder to detect. The question for AP teams is no longer whether they can identify suspicious requests. It is whether the processes around payments make fraud difficult regardless of [...]
Adversary-in-the-Middle Attacks: How Phishing Sites Steal Your Active Login
You click a link, sign in, approve the MFA prompt, and get on with your day. Completely unaware that someone else just logged into your account at the same moment.That scenario surprises many businesses, particularly those that rely on multi-factor authentication (MFA) to protect cloud accounts. But this is exactly how Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) phishing attacks work. Rather than stealing passwords for later use, these attacks silently hijack an already-authenticated session in real time.MFA remains a core control, and getting it implemented [...]
The “Session Cookie” Hijack: Why MFA Can’t Always Save You
MFA is a strong front-door lock. But it’s not the only thing that decides whether someone can get in.After you sign in, your browser keeps you logged in using a session token (often stored as a cookie). It’s the digital version of a wristband at an event: once you’ve been checked, the wristband proves you belong there. If an attacker steals that wristband, they may not need to beat your MFA prompt at all.That’s the core of session cookie hijacking. [...]
The “Legacy Debt” Audit: Identifying the 3 Oldest Risks in Your Server Room
The most dangerous thing in a server room is often the phrase, “Don’t touch that.”It’s usually said with a half-joke and a grimace. It refers to the old box that “still works”, runs something important, and has survived so many fixes and workarounds that nobody feels confident changing it anymore.That’s legacy debt. Not just “old tech”, but old tech that’s become a dependency. It’s the kind that quietly accumulates risk until it turns into downtime, security exposure, or an emergency upgrade [...]
The “Backup Exit” Strategy: Can You Move Your Data Without the Vendor’s Help?
When you first sign up for a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform, everything is designed to feel effortless. The problem is that the first real test of a SaaS relationship isn’t the onboarding. It’s the exit. For many small businesses, the front door is wide open, but the emergency exit is bolted shut: exports are incomplete, key data sits in proprietary formats, and leaving requires expensive vendor help.That’s more than inconvenient. It’s a business risk. As teams move toward a workforce blended with humans and [...]
