5 DNS filtering myths (that put users at risk)

Despite all of their cybersecurity benefits, DNS filters remain one of the most misunderstood tools in most IT pros’ stacks. And to be fair, DNS filters aren’t flashy. They don’t trigger dramatic security alerts or give you complex attack visualizations to show at the next stakeholder meeting. They just work [...]

7 ways DNS filtering keeps users safe (and makes your job easier)

DNS filtering is the unsung hero of cybersecurity. It quietly does the hard work of protecting your network while all the noisier security tools get all the attention. We like to compare DNS filters to the foundation of your house. Nobody walks in and says, “Wow, what a great foundation!”  [...]

But in today’s high-stakes regulatory environment, weak password management isn’t just [...]

What Is Passwordless Authentication? And Is It Safe?

Passwords have been the backbone of cybersecurity for decades. But they’ve also become one of its biggest weaknesses. Studies show 81% of breaches involve weak or stolen credentials. As identity threats become more sophisticated, from phishing and credential theft to privilege misuse and supply-chain compromise, many organizations are exploring a [...]

Faster incident response starts with smarter access controls

When you get an alert about potential suspicious activity in a client’s environment, you need to act. Fast. That means disabling compromised accounts, cutting off network connections, and reviewing logs to trace the attacker’s path. But let’s be honest. Responding to incidents quickly is waaaaaay harder when users are granted [...]

Why DNS filters should be part of your cybersecurity stack

Let’s be honest, most of us don’t think about DNS (Domain Name System) filters until something goes wrong. This behind-the-scenes technology that turns the words a user types into their browser into an actual IP address isn’t exactly exciting dinner conversation. But here’s the thing: DNS filters are actually an [...]

Why MSPs need to offer password management (before clients ask for it)

You’re already your clients’ go-to person for system updates, troubleshooting, new user onboarding, and everything in between. But if you’re not offering password management as part of your services, you’re not fully protecting your clients. You’re also missing out on a chance to increase your monthly recurring revenue (MRR). The [...]

The dangers of shared passwords (and how to fix them)

It’s 2025. Robots mow our lawns, smart fridges order our groceries, and we use smartphones to open our hotel rooms. But for some reason, we’re still sharing passwords like it’s 1999. Whether it’s a sticky note of social media logins or credentials sent via Slack, password sharing remains one of [...]

AI and DDoS attacks: Why automated threats require automated defenses

DDoS attacks have been around for decades. But thanks to AI, they’re getting a whole lot smarter. What used to be a simple flood of traffic that crashes a website or server is now a sophisticated operation that can change and adapt faster than any human can respond.  Sound scary? [...]
