CMMC for MSPs and ESPs: Who Needs Certification?

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification, CMMC, is currently the most important information security framework for thousands of businesses across the country. Businesses that wish to work with the Department of Defense, or a DoD subcontractor, are quite likely to need to earn their CMMC certification in order to win those contracts. For those businesses that haven't been paying attention, this can come as a significant surprise.

The Safety Problem Nobody Warns You About When You Start Training a Language Model

There's a version of the LLM safety conversation that stays comfortably abstract - AI alignment, existential risk, theoretical failure modes that matter at a scale most organizations will never reach. That conversation is important, but it's not the one most product and technology leaders need to be having right now. The one they need to be having is more immediate and considerably more practical: how the specific decisions made during llm training services directly shape whether the model you deploy is one your organization can actually stand behind.

How Small Businesses Can Build a Secure and Maintainable IT Environment

Small businesses depend on technology for nearly every part of their daily operations. Customer communication, invoices, accounting, document management, online sales, remote work and internal collaboration all rely on computers and digital services. This makes even a small company an attractive target for cybercriminals.

From days of training to three better rules in a minute

A few years ago, I was part of a team responding to a high-profile security incident. After the incident was resolved, I was given a list of NDR rules to add to my firewalls. The issue was that the rules were not made for Suricata, the IDS I was using in this position at that time, so they generated false positives. With all that extra noise, I made it my goal to eliminate that excess noise.

5-Hour Online Pre-Licensing Course - How Registration, Timing, and ID Verification Actually Work

New York rolled out an online version of its 5-hour pre-licensing course a few years back, and on paper it sounds like the easy option: no classroom, no fixed schedule, just log in and get through the material. In practice, the state built in a set of checks that a lot of first-time applicants never see coming, and a couple of deadlines that do not bend for anyone. None of it is designed to trip people up, but the 5 hour online pre-licensing course runs on rules that reward knowing them in advance and punish finding them out the hard way.

Cybersecurity Awareness Training for AI: Key Focus Areas

As employees increasingly rely on AI tools and AI agents in daily workflows, organizations are facing a new workforce security challenge: how to reduce risk without slowing productivity. Security leaders are no longer just protecting systems and identities. They also need to manage how employees interact with AI-generated content, automation, and decision support tools.

How Organizations Can Maintain Secure Communications During Infrastructure Failures

Things like storms, hacking attempts, blackouts, broken machines, or connection problems might break essential systems. If messages can't get through, companies struggle to run smoothly, keep data safe, or stay on track. In those moments, clear and protected contact matters more - mistakes creep in when people aren't sure what's happening. Being ready ahead of time helps teams keep talking, working, and supporting others - even when surprises hit.
