Device security programs often enforce visible restrictions while leaving underlying capabilities intact. This explains why controls work as designed—and still fail to reduce risk.
Key takeaway: Most device security controls govern how actions are performed, not whether they are possible. As a result, environments remain exposed even when policies report full enforcement.
Most cloud incidents are not caused by missing tools or misconfigurations, but by architectural decisions that silently define how much damage is possible.
Key takeaway: Blast radius is an architectural outcome. Tools may detect incidents, but architecture determines how much damage is possible once something goes wrong.
Organizations enable MFA expecting risk reduction, yet breaches still occur. This explains why MFA often fails to stop real-world attacks.
Key takeaway: MFA reduces credential theft risk, not identity abuse risk. Most modern attacks succeed after MFA.
Executives approve cloud security programs that look correct on paper—yet still fail in production. This explains why.
Key takeaway: Cloud security baselines reduce misconfiguration risk, not breach risk. Most incidents happen after everything is ‘configured correctly’.
