Monitoring: The Forgotten Discipline

Logging & Monitoring // Security Fundamentals // Security Solutions // Security Tools // SIEM, Security Information and Event Management // August 2, 2019

The Myth of “Proactive” Every company claims to be proactive. They buy dashboards, automate alerts, and call it visibility. But visibility without interpretation is just noise. And noise is the enemy of monitoring. These days, the market is full of tools that promise prediction. None deliver it. They only record symptoms faster. What You Actually […]

Audio Fingerprinting: The Sound of Surveillance

Controversial // Privacy // July 27, 2019

The Invisible Signature Every sound you make online, a voice clip, a stream, a meeting, carries a fingerprint. Not the kind you leave on glass, but the kind you leave in frequency. It’s invisible, persistent, and mathematically unique. And once captured, it never forgets you. I believe audio fingerprinting is the quietest form of tracking. […]

are we still coding, or just copy‑pasting?

Coding // Software Development // Software Security // July 24, 2019

this generation of developers has access to more tools than any other time in history. stackoverflow, github issues, reddit, dev.to, kite, tabnine, intellicode… the list keeps growing. and with every new “assistant,” we get further away from the one thing that actually matters in software development: originality. but let’s be honest — the problem is […]

Learn security from internet but not just Google

Controversial // Cyberspace // July 23, 2019

if you learn cooking from fast‑food ads, don’t expect to become a chef.” the internet is bigger than your search bar people think “internet” means whatever shows up on the first page of a search engine. that is the first mistake. search engines are built for popularity, not accuracy. they show what is loud, not […]

Privacy—Again, But in Different Words

Controversial // Privacy // July 20, 2019

Privacy: your online identity isn’t masked by using a VPN. A VPN simply redirects your traffic to a private sector—where targeting you becomes easier and more meaningful. Whatever we call a “privacy model” is baked into the nature of the system itself. It can’t be changed or avoided unless you opt out entirely. If you […]

Abusing Internet Users: The Silent Cost Behind “Free” Online Services

Controversial // Cyberspace // Data // Privacy // Safety // July 19, 2019

There is a reason many of us hesitate to work on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, or any of these so‑called “free” online services. It is not because the technology is bad. It is because the model is bad. These services do not just host our content — they quietly learn from our experiences, our decisions, […]

Offline Is the Only Real Privacy

Privacy // July 19, 2019

The Illusion of Being “Connected” We built an internet that behaves like a crowded room where every wall has a microphone. Then we pretend privacy is a setting, a toggle, a subscription, or a VPN logo glowing green. In this era, the truth is simpler and more uncomfortable: Privacy ends the moment you connect. Everything […]

No Silver Bullet in Computer Security

Security Fundamentals // Security Tools // July 4, 2019

There is no silver bullet in any aspect of information security. All the answers like EDR, MFA, SIEM… might get you in a better or worse security posture, it all depends to how you implement and manage but none of them are silver bullet in their area (malware protection, authentication, monitoring…). It is all about […]

Learn the art of troubleshooting

Troubleshooting with Google is useless because you won’t learn

Controversial // June 28, 2019

problem solving is not searching searching might give you an answer. but it won’t give you understanding. “water usually finds the way out of a leaky pipe, but it won’t fix the plumbing.” systems are complex. success is luck without insight. troubleshooting is its own skill you learn to troubleshoot by knowing what parts interact.

How to have an accurate vendor risk assessment?  Assessing your vendors, suppliers, business associates…or any other term you give to who is providing services to your firm is crucial and even might be required from a regulatory stand point (i.e. like in HIPAA).

Vendor Risk Assessment: Hassle or Blessing?!

Documentation // Information Security Management System // Policy // Vulnerability Management // June 5, 2019

A Security Questionnaire, RFI, VRA (Vendor Risk Assessment), VR Management…helps customers identify and evaluate the risks of using a vendor’s product or service. Performing such a review is sometimes mandatory based on the industry (e.g. healthcare). During this standard business process, customer collects written information about security capabilities of a supplier and you could barely […]
