Adversary-in-the-Middle Attacks: How Phishing Sites Steal Your Active Login
Image source Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) attacks are a modern phishing technique that steals active login sessions, not just passwords. Understanding how AiTM works helps businesses reduce exposure to phishing-resistant sign-ins, tighter session controls, and faster detection of suspicious access. You click a link, sign in, approve the MFA prompt, and get on with your day. Completely unaware that someone else just logged into your account at the same moment. That scenario

LinkedIn "Social Engineering": Protecting Your Staff from Fake Recruitment Scams
Image source A fake recruiter message is one of the cleanest social engineering tricks around because it doesn’t look like a trick. That’s why LinkedIn recruitment scams work so well inside real businesses. They don’t arrive as malware. They arrive as a normal conversation that nudges someone toward one small action: click this link, open this file, “verify” this detail, move the chat to a different app. A few simple checks, a couple of hard-stop rules, and an easy way to rep

Micro-SaaS Vetting: The 5-Minute Security Check for Browser Add-ons
Image source Browser add-ons have a funny reputation. They feel “small”. A quick install. A tiny productivity boost. A harmless little helper that lives in your toolbar. But in practice, a browser extension is more like a micro-SaaS vendor sitting inside your browser session. It can see what you see, interact with the pages you open, and sometimes access the same cloud apps your business runs on all day. That’s why a browser extension security check matters. Not because every

"Clean Desk" 2.0: Securing Your Home Office from Physical Data Leaks
Image source In the traditional office, a “Clean Desk” policy was a simple habit: shred the sensitive stuff, lock it away, and don’t leave passwords where someone can see them. In 2026, the same idea still matters but the “desk” has changed. For many teams, the home office is now the default workspace, and that means physical access can quickly become digital access. An unlocked screen, a shared device, or a laptop left in the wrong place can expose the same systems your busi

The "Legacy Debt" Audit: Identifying the 3 Oldest Risks in Your Server Room
Image source The most dangerous thing in a server room is often the phrase, “Don’t touch that.” It’s usually said with a half-joke and a grimace. It refers to the old box that “still works”, runs something important, and has survived so many fixes and workarounds that nobody feels confident changing it anymore. That’s legacy debt. Not just “old tech”, but old tech that’s become a dependency. It’s the kind that quietly accumulates risk until it turns into downtime, security ex

The "Backup Exit" Strategy: Can You Move Your Data Without the Vendor’s Help?
Image source When you first sign up for a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform, everything is designed to feel effortless. The problem is that the first real test of a SaaS relationship isn’t the onboarding. It’s the exit. For many small businesses, the front door is wide open, but the emergency exit is bolted shut: exports are incomplete, key data sits in proprietary formats, and leaving requires expensive vendor help. That’s more than inconvenient. It’s a business risk. As

The "Session Cookie" Hijack: Why MFA Can’t Always Save You
Image source MFA is a strong front-door lock. But it’s not the only thing that decides whether someone can get in. After you sign in, your browser keeps you logged in using a session token (often stored as a cookie). It’s the digital version of a wristband at an event: once you’ve been checked, the wristband proves you belong there. If an attacker steals that wristband, they may not need to beat your MFA prompt at all. That’s the core of session cookie hijacking. The attacker

How to Run a "Shadow AI" Audit Without Slowing Down Your Team
Image source It usually starts small. Someone uses an AI tool to refine a difficult email. Someone enables an AI add-on inside a SaaS app because it promises to save an hour a week. Someone pastes a paragraph into a chatbot to “make it sound better.” Then it becomes routine. And once it’s routine, it stops being a simple tool decision and becomes a data governance issue: what’s being shared, where it’s going, and whether you could prove what happened if something goes wrong.

The 2026 Guide to Uncovering Unsanctioned Cloud Apps
Image source If you want to uncover unsanctioned cloud apps, don’t begin with a policy. Start with your browser history. The cloud environment most businesses actually use rarely matches the one shown on the IT diagram. It’s built through countless small shortcuts: a “just this once” file share, a free tool that solves one problem faster, a plug-in installed to meet a deadline, or an AI feature quietly enabled inside an app you already pay for. In the moment, none of it feels
