Treating ransomware as a simple “availability” failure misses the point. Being “up” or “down” is irrelevant when your systems are locked and business halted. What matters is resilience: the engineered ability to absorb damage, fail gracefully, and restore from immutable backups. Availability is binary; resilience is survival. Without…

The Political Weaponization of Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity should be guided by technical principles”, not politics. Yet recent incidents in the U.S. highlight how cybersecurity decisions and dismissals are increasingly being used to advance partisan agendas. From cloud data migrations to high-profile government firings, security is becoming a political tool rather than a neutral safeguard. True cybersecurity must return to its foundation:…
