The short version: Unpatched software is now the top way attackers get in, ahead of stolen passwords (Verizon 2026 DBIR). Vendor-related breaches doubled in one year.

Your staff are undoubtedly your biggest risk. But they can also be your first and greatest line of defense — if they’re properly trained. Here’s the thing about “properly trained” though. Most companies think they’ve done that part already. Annual phishing test. A video everyone clicks through once a year. Check the box, move on. …
You may have approved Copilot for your office, but who approved the AI already running your fleet? Somewhere in your vendor stack, an AI feature got switched on that most likely nobody even knows about, let alone approved or wrote a governance policy for. It’s probably doing something helpful — like suggesting routes, flagging loads, …
You think you’re protected. Most companies do, right up until the moment systems go down. I grew up watching trucks. My family owned a chain of convenience stores, and from the time I was old enough to work behind the counter, I watched a steady stream of 18-wheelers pulling in and out. Filling our tanks. …

Cyber insurance confuses most business owners. And honestly, that confusion is costing them everything. Some have a Business Owner’s Policy with a cyber rider tucked inside and think they’re covered.

Ninety-five years in business. Survived the Great Depression, a World War, deregulation, a global pandemic, and recessions that swallowed companies whole. Then one night, criminals found an open door. They didn’t kick it in. They slipped in quietly, the way criminals always do, and they stayed. Watching. Mapping. Studying exactly how the operation ran and …

The most dangerous phishing email hitting inboxes today doesn’t look dangerous. It’s AI-generated. It sounds like your CFO. It looks like your most trusted vendor. It arrives at exactly the right moment. And the leaders running some of the largest companies in the world are finally putting it on the record. I’ve studied the data, …
I want to tell you about one of the best days of my cyber career. I’m sitting in a conference room with a transportation client. A few months earlier we had completed a comprehensive risk assessment and uncovered some significant vulnerabilities. Since then we’d been in a holding pattern while they decided how they wanted …

Imagine building something for 95 years. Three generations. Hundreds of employees. 75 terminals across the country. A name in the industry that meant something. A company your grandfather started, your father grew, and you were supposed to carry forward. Then one night, everything goes dark. Dispatch offline. Drivers unable to log trips. The call center …

Every cybersecurity conversation eventually lands on the same uncomfortable truth: most attacks don’t start with a sophisticated technical exploit. They start with a person. A click. A reply. A wire transfer that seemed completely legitimate until it wasn’t. That gets framed as a human failure. I want to reframe it. Your people aren’t being targeted …
