Cybersecurity AI Awareness Training for Texas Government Agencies: How Kratikal’s Threatcop Meets the DIR Mandate
The last few big cyberattacks on government organizations all have one thing in common. They started because of something a person did wrong, not because of technology. These cyberattacks occur when an employee clicks a link in an email or answers a strange phone call. Sometimes they even give away information by mistake. So technology……

8 steps CISOs can take to empower their teams
Once when we were rolling out a well-known EDR tool, I knew the settings weren’t tight enough, nor were the received updates applied fast enough. So I asked two people to own this, come up with suggestions for tightening the screws, and guarantee a successful rollout on multiple OSes in parallel. The phased approach took…

AI is breaking traditional security models, Here’s where they fail first
AI triage redefines the security team’s role : As AI systems increasingly triage vulnerabilities with high confidence, security teams face a subtle but consequential shift in responsibility. People no longer debate whether AI can reduce noise. It demonstrably can. The harder question is which responsibilities remain with security teams once triage is automated. Are they accountable for…
