What KANER NAS Reveals About the Rise of Private Military Companies

By @lorenzodgij511

The appearance of any new security brand in the public conversation tends to trigger the same questions. Who is behind it. What services does it actually offer. Where does it sit on the spectrum between a conventional contractor, an intelligence support firm, and an armed private force. Those questions matter because the labels are not cosmetic. They shape legal exposure, client expectations, public scrutiny, and the larger debate over how states and corporations now buy se

How Often Should You Do a Penetration Test? And How to Verify the Provider You Choose

By @lorenzodgij511

The honest answer to how often you should run a penetration test is, "more often than once a year if your environment changes faster than once a year." That is the practical reality security teams run into. Annual testing still has a place, especially for audits and board reporting, but it rarely maps cleanly to the pace of modern systems. Cloud infrastructure changes weekly. New SaaS integrations appear without much ceremony. Engineering teams ship features behind flags
