Your CI/CD Pipeline Is an IAM Problem. Seriously.
Reading Time: 2 minutesLet’s play out a scenario. Say ransomware hits one of your dev laptops today.What could it touch? How far could it actually go? Now most folks will say: “Well, we’ve got MFA on AWS, our IAM users are cleaned up, roles are in place…” Cool. But that’s usually where the IAM story…

Who Still Has Access? Zombie Accounts Are the Security Risk You’re Probably Ignoring
Reading Time: 2 minutesOkay, quick gut check:If someone left your company six months ago… do they still have access to GitHub? If you hesitated—even for a second—let’s talk. Because here’s the thing: in most scaleups, access management is kind of like flossing. Everyone knows it’s important. Nobody does it as often as they should. The…

🛠 Everyone’s an Admin: The Hidden Risk Lurking in Your Engineering Access
Reading Time: 2 minutes“We trust our team.” That’s how most scaleups start. And honestly, trust is a good thing.You’re moving fast, trying to ship, and the last thing anyone wants is to slow down for access requests. So everyone gets full access—AWS, GitHub, staging, prod. It works… until it doesn’t. Because the more access you…

🔄 When Your Vendors Become Your Attack Surface: Managing Third-Party Risk in the Age of Ransomware
Reading Time: 2 minutesIt’s easy to focus on your internal systems when thinking about risk.But increasingly, the real exposure comes from what’s outside—and connected. Most mid-sized manufacturing companies depend on a growing ecosystem of vendors: IT service providers, cloud platforms, dev tools, third-party integrations, and contractors. This is normal. It’s how companies scale. But with…

⚡ Beyond Detection: Practicing Your Ransomware Response Before It’s Too Late
Reading Time: 2 minutesWe tend to think that once we have the right tools—EDR, XDR, SIEM—we’re safe. That detection is protection. That visibility equals control. But here’s the catch: when ransomware hits, it doesn’t test your tools first.It tests your people.And more specifically, your team’s ability to work through chaos with clarity. Because detection is…

☁️ Backups Won’t Save You: Why Cloud and Data Resilience Fall Apart Without Security
Reading Time: 2 minutesFor a long time, we operated under a simple assumption:“If you’ve got good backups, you’re safe.” But that idea doesn’t hold up anymore. Today’s attackers don’t just encrypt your production data—they go looking for the lifeboats.And if your cloud environment isn’t built to protect those lifeboats, your resilience is an illusion. Ransomware…

🛡 Exposed from the Inside: How IAM Missteps Turn Small Breaches Into Full-Scale Ransomware Incidents
Reading Time: 2 minutesWhen we talk about cybersecurity, we tend to focus on the perimeter—what’s outside, trying to get in. But these days, that’s not really how attacks work anymore. In many of the ransomware cases we’ve seen recently, attackers didn’t “hack” in. They just logged in—with real credentials. No alarms. No brute force. Just…

Risk Assessments as a System: How to Turn One Project Into Long-Term Security Leverage
Reading Time: 2 minutesThere’s a pattern we’ve seen across a lot of companies. They run a risk assessment—maybe tied to an audit, maybe after an incident. They put time and energy into modeling their systems, identifying weak points, mapping out threats. And then… they archive the results and move on. Six months later, the architecture…

When the Factory Goes Dark: What Sensata’s Ransomware Attack Signals for Mid-Market Manufacturing Tech
Reading Time: 2 minutesThere’s a shift happening—not just in how we defend against ransomware, but in how we define the boundaries of responsibility. A few weeks ago, Sensata Technologies, a global leader in industrial sensors and electronics, got hit with ransomware. It took down systems. Interrupted operations. The factory, quite literally, went dark. This wasn’t…

The Most Underrated Outcome of a Risk Assessment: Organizational Clarity
Reading Time: 2 minutesWhen people talk about risk assessments, they usually jump straight to findings—vulnerabilities, exposure, misconfigurations. And sure, those things matter. But that’s not the part I keep coming back to. What really sticks—the thing I’ve seen help teams the most—is actually clarity. Not just about the tech. About the whole system.How it’s built,…

Tailored or Toasted: Why One-Size Risk Frameworks Break in Fast-Moving Teams
Reading Time: 2 minutesTailored or Toasted: Why One-Size Risk Frameworks Break in Fast-Moving Teams Most teams move fast. But the frameworks we use to assess risk? They’re stuck in a different era. You might be shipping a product every day, maybe even multiple times a day. Your infrastructure is dynamic. APIs spin up and down,…

From 500 Findings to 5 Priorities: What Actually Makes a Risk Model Useful
Reading Time: 2 minutesEvery security team eventually hits this wall: you run a scan, or you get an assessment back, and now you’ve got hundreds—sometimes thousands—of findings. Most of them labeled “medium severity.” None of them clearly wrong. But also? None of them all that useful. You’re not getting insight. You’re getting entropy. And the…

🔍 Most Risk Assessments Don’t Help. Here’s What Makes One Useful.
Reading Time: 3 minutesLet’s be real—most risk assessments aren’t that helpful. They feel like they should be. You invest time, run a process, check some boxes, and produce a report. But what happens after? Not much. That’s a problem. Because when you step back and think about what security is actually trying to do—it’s not…

Where It’s All Going—and Why It Pays to Start Now
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThis Isn’t a Trend. It’s a Transformation. When we look back, this shift to AI in security is going to feel obvious. Just like continuous integration, cloud compute, or even search did. We’re not there yet—but the trajectory is clear. AI That Doesn’t Just Detect—It Advises Security Copilot is already answering…

The Math That Makes AI Security Worth It
Reading Time: < 1 minuteSecurity ROI Is Measured in Attention, Not Licenses Here’s the thing: most security teams aren’t short on tools. They’re short on time. What Security Copilot buys you isn’t just automation—it’s time to think. That’s where the ROI is. Fewer Alerts. Faster Containment. Fewer Escalations. With Copilot, junior analysts escalate fewer tickets…

Why Tooling Alone Won’t Cut It—and What RemoteMore Does Differently
Reading Time: < 1 minuteSecurity Copilot Is Smart. But It Needs Context. One thing we’ve learned again and again: AI tools are only as useful as the environment they’re dropped into. Copilot has incredible potential, but it’s not magic out of the box. That’s where RemoteMore fits in—we help companies actually make use of it…

Using AI to Watch the Foundations, Not Just the Perimeter
Reading Time: < 1 minuteProduct and Infra Security Aren’t Getting Simpler Anyone building software at scale knows the attack surface keeps growing—containers, APIs, service meshes, ephemeral workloads. If you’re trying to secure your infrastructure the same way you did three years ago, you’re probably already behind. Security Copilot helps shift the way we deal with…

What is a cybersecurity risk assessment?
Reading Time: 2 minutesLet’s be honest: most risk assessments are treated like checkboxes. But when done right, they’re one of the few things that actually make your security better—not just look better on paper. A proper cybersecurity risk assessment maps out the weak spots in your infrastructure, your workflows, and your team’s assumptions. It’s less…

Rethinking Cyber Defense: What Happens When We Let AI Help Us See More Clearly
Reading Time: 2 minutesTraditional Tools Give Us Signals. But We Need Systems That Can Reason. One of the interesting things about scaling technology companies is how quickly complexity outpaces your ability to manage it. In security, we’re still relying too much on human pattern recognition and tools that are fundamentally reactive. Logs are abundant. Alerts…
