With modern architecture, we put a lot of control in the hands of our users. From security keys, reauthorization and that body of code sitting out there for anyone to interrogate, the UI is ripe for exploits that lead to breaches

To get to our services and data we need to traverse various networks, from our home through the public Internet and eventually to the data center. In Part 4 of the Ecosystem of Breaches we look at where data might get exposed and how we might find ourselves in the wrong place while on that journey

The backend application layer is usually well protected by gateways and other security, and yet, it remains vulnerable to hackers. In part 3 we explore some of the challenges and ways to tighten that up.

When we talk about breaches we're usually talking about databases being compromised. But what ARE databases these days, and why do they seem so ripe for plunder? This is in my series on Ecosystem of Breaches -- all the things we need to be looking at to know it's all locked down.

I'm doing a cybersecurity series on the Ecosystem of data breaches -- we tend to focus on one area at a time, but we need to look holistically at Databases, Services, Networks, User Interfaces and good old fashioned Social Engineering

Twitter's big hack last week isn't surprising. We in the tech industry keep breaking our basic vows to keep data secure, and there's a fairly straight forward reason why...

While Stay At Home has been designed to keep us safe by limiting contact with other people, it has created a whole new surface area that hackers can exploit to spread their own viruses and attack us.

You can say the same thing in different voices and create a very different message

We're talking a lot about Getting Back to Normal, but what is normal really?

I built a little retaining wall as a side project, and I'm glad I was able to keep the project small -- it's not that additional work would have been a problem, it's that managing the expectations of the client would have gotten more difficult
