We use primary sources
We tie every number to a public source such as IBM Cost of a Data Breach, Verizon DBIR, Sophos, or the KVKK activity report.
We verify in our own environment
We run the scenarios we describe in our test lab and measure time and impact. We do not publish a number we have not measured.
We publish dated and signed work
Every article lists the author, the reviewer, and the update date. If you spot an error, we correct it.
Let us build your threat model together
Our engineers build a threat model for your sector and data volume, and plan the priority defense steps.
