Pinpoint Protocol 2026.19

There’s something about a day like Cinco de Mayo that feels easy. You’re meeting friends, stepping away from work, maybe checking your phone a little less, maybe not thinking too much about anything urgent. Everything feels a bit more relaxed. A bit more routine....

A lot of the most important work in cybersecurity doesn’t get seen. It’s not the headline. It’s not the incident everyone talks about after the fact. It’s everything that happens before that. The alerts that get reviewed. The patterns that get noticed. The...
