    Blog / The Log4j Attack and You Interpretation of the Log4j attack Log4j is a library of computer code assets that can be used as part of open-source (free-to-use) Apache web server.

    Blog / The True Scope of the Ransomware Problem The Global Ransomware Problem Nobody is going to deny that ransomware is a problem. Most probably won’t even deny it’s both a large big and growing problem. Yet there’s a problem with that assessment. We can only rely on the information that companies are willing to talk about.

    Blog / Have you heard of the Principle of Least Privilege? Fingerprint refused access to files representing the Principle of Least Privilege There’s lots of advice to be given about how to set up your computer security.
