Behind every security alert is a bigger story. Sometimes it’s a system being tested. Sometimes it’s trust being lost in quiet ways—through delays, odd behavior, or subtle gaps in control. This week, we’re looking beyond the surface to spot what really matters. Whether it’s poor design, hidden access, or silent misuse, knowing where to look can make all the difference. If you're responsible for
You don’t need a rogue employee to suffer a breach. All it takes is a free trial that someone forgot to cancel. An AI-powered note-taker quietly syncing with your Google Drive. A personal Gmail account tied to a business-critical tool. That’s shadow IT. And today, it’s not just about unsanctioned apps, but also dormant accounts, unmanaged identities, over-permissioned SaaS
