cyber attacks that you hear about them in news these days are not advanced at all, this is security community acting so naive and blind, knowingly and unknowingly which then implies into thinking that attacks are sophisticated. in mature industries like agriculture, professionals study their enemies and for centuries they have been able to defeat […]
Software is the core of any computerized system and it is the most effective way of introducing insecurities to cyberspace with all its entities. eliminate fancy tools like synthesizer if you want your child be a musician. root cause of all security vulnerabilities (mainly) resides with the software, the foundation of all computer systems, where […]
Security is a matter of usability and one of elements of quality of a system. ain’t it literally a matter of “safety”? how come Quality does care about a defect related to safety of a user in physical world but not the virtual world? security bug is named differently: security vulnerability, but ain’t just a […]
It has been logically proven to me that some elements of cyber security of any internet user is solely on shoulder of ISP but that has been the last thing we ever cared perhaps because we tend to complicate simple things! ISP is supposed to be the only owner, or main layer to internet user […]
I came across an article the other day on Legal Considerations when Gathering Online Cyber Threat Intelligence and Purchasing Data from Illicit Sources! A publication from justice.gov with interesting insight but opened an old wound for me!

I have seen many official statements about EFS being so insecure and we should not use it blah blah…and that is so surprising for me something from professional sources hearing a unprofessional statement, or better say, inaccurate assumption about one of the simplest and effective ways towards cryptographic practices! Assuming you know what Encrypting File […]
The same problem, only louder Looks like nothing has changed. The same leadership failures I talked about years ago are still here, only more polished, more decorated, and more destructive. Companies keep pretending they have “leadership,” but what they really have is a chain of people giving deadlines without understanding the work behind them. The […]
Which firm, company or solution can have the most comprehensive source of threat intelligence? The question should come to your mind when you are shopping for this security matter for any reason. Sources can have different type of data and then convert it to useful information via either active or passive mechanisms to gather intelligence, […]
Does a managed security service enhance overall security posture? Usually No! Managed security services are highly built on customer expectation instead of precise protocols to build a security barrier for client. There are many factors involved in quality of security services after migration to a managed service but most effective one is “client expectations”, or […]
There is a wrong perception of Cloud security among consumers of the Cloud solutions and platforms.
