In cybersecurity, when we take on candidates to mentor the next generation of professionals,  we teach them about well-known and documented classes of vulnerabilities, like remote code execution , memory disclosure , injection flaws , supply-chain compromise , misconfiguration , and so on. Unfortunately, last year saw these “textbook” weaknesses show up in a number of widely used online services and infrastructure, perhaps even more so than in years prior.   Surely, there are

This usually includes the small print of operations like all the follow-up activities, the inevitable battle with shadow IT, and the new vulnerabilities that surface once projects transition into b

Cyber budgets often miss hidden costs: data growth drives storage & SIEM fees, security debt piles up with quick fixes, and staff burnout fuels churn. Plan for 25–30% annual data growth, allocate 10% of spend to pay down debt, and budget for 15–20% attrition. Honest budgets build resilience, cut firefighting, and keep teams strong.

Cybersecurity budgets almost always run over. Not because of poor planning, but because hidden costs get overlooked. These recurring expenses create friction between CFOs and CISOs—and often strain the business.
