Executive Team’s Digital Footprint Exposure Is Real Executives, board members, and other high-profile users carry more than just influence – they carry risk.

Ethan Robish // In this series of posts, I’ll discuss how I segmented my home network using VLANs and how I moved away from using a risky consumer-grade router at the edge of my network. My goal for this series is to take you from using a consumer-grade router running a flat network to a segmented network as cheaply as possible.

I began with a network like most people: completely flat behind a single consumer-grade wireless router that serves all my household’s devices. I…
Topic: Security-First Culture with Effective Threat Modeling Watch Now Abstract: Threat modeling provides organizations with a structured methodology to identify, assess, and mitigate threats across digital infrastructures. As an ongoing and collaborative practice, organizations integrate it into security policies and management processes to foster a culture of shared security responsibility across teams and operational units. As the threat landscape continues to evolve, organizations must move beyond checklist-based approaches and adopt proactive strategies that enable early identification and mitigation of risks before they escalate into security incidents. This webinar explores how to build an effective threat modeling framework that not only…

How do I deal with having to have a new account for every service and website? Should I be using new email addresses?A new email address for every account is a big undertaking! I’d recommend having an email address for the accounts that are most important to you and then having one that you use to sign up for things that are less important. There are also services that will let you create “burner” emails that you can use to sign-up with services, and if you use an Apple device there’s a “Hide My Email” setting.What tips would you offer…
