Waiting isn’t neutral. In security, delay = drift. And drift becomes exposure. This week, we’re wrapping up our 5-week series with something different: 📍 The actual cost of delay 📍 And the playbook to move forward with clarity—right now Monday’s post delivers a path worth following.

You Don’t Need to Hack Yourself. Just Try One Thing. Want to think like an attacker? Start small. Ask: ✅ Can a staff member install software? ✅ Can they access files outside their team? ✅ Can they move between machines? If so—so can an attacker. This is how we help our clients harden their posture before the breach hits. https://1l.ink/6S2T33F

Block the First Click—Stop the Whole Chain Most attacks don’t start with malware. They start with one click. A download from an untrusted browser A PDF that runs a macro A support tool that opens lateral movement Stop the first click. You stop the whole chain. We break it down in this week’s article: https://1l.ink/L8N36RB

Don’t Give Attackers Admin Rights—Even by Accident You don’t need a sophisticated exploit. You just need admin rights that shouldn’t exist. A shared password here. A leftover user there. A device with local admin that no one’s audited. That’s all it takes. This week we show how to close those doors for good—with practical tools that enforce what your policies say. https://1l.ink/PLNBB53

You’re Already Being Scanned. What Are They Seeing? Every hour, your systems are being scanned. By bots, by threat actors, by automated exploit kits. They’re not looking for big mistakes. They’re looking for small oversights. ✅ Open ports ✅ Default passwords ✅ Unrestricted applications Close the door before they find it. 🔗 Read the full post → https://1l.ink/DMFHGSF

Forward-Leaning Security: How to Think Like an Attacker—Without Being One

Cut the Recovery Time Before the Breach Happens The time to start recovering isn’t after something breaks. It’s right now—by: ✅ Removing admin rights ✅ Disabling stale accounts ✅ Limiting install privileges The less you have to clean up later, the faster you bounce back. ThreatLocker makes this a policy and an enforcement layer. See the full blog https://1l.ink/C7J8G4Z

When Everything Goes Quiet—Who Takes Action? The biggest risk in incident response isn’t the breach—it’s the silence that follows. 📍 No one’s sure who owns it 📍 No one knows how to escalate 📍 Everyone assumes someone else is responding That’s not a response. That’s a delay. Here's how smart teams prep before the incident: https://1l.ink/D4V2Z3J

You Can’t Build a Response Plan During the Incident. By the time you're hit, it’s too late to start building a response. Real resilience comes from what you’ve already decided: ✅ Who owns the first 30 minutes ✅ What systems break the business ✅ What fallback plans actually work We just published a field-tested playbook: https://1l.ink/XXNLTMM

Resilience Is Built on Decisions You Make Now—Not When the Incident Hits
