Pinpoint Protocol 2026.24
One of the questions I hear most often lately is: "Will AI replace cybersecurity analysts?" After another week of reviewing vulnerabilities, incidents, and threat activity, I think the better question is: "What makes a great analyst in an AI-enabled world?" The...
Pinpoint Protocol 2026.23
Most of us are pretty good at spotting things that feel suspicious. An email from someone we don't know. A strange text message. A website that looks a little off. Those situations naturally make us cautious. The bigger challenge is often the opposite. The...
Pinpoint Protocol 2026.22
Most technology problems don't start as technology problems. The system works...until the documentation is outdated. Until a dependency changes. Until a credential isn't rotated. Until nobody remembers why something was configured that way. That's when operational...

Good security programs behave like well-engineered systems. They’re repeatable. Maintainable. Understandable by more than one person. They continue functioning under pressure, even when conditions are not perfect. That’s what operational maturity actually looks...
