What Consistent Leadership Across SSE, SD-WAN, and SASE Signals

GigaOm’s latest analysis highlights a clear shift in the market. As they note, “The standalone Secure Service Edge (SSE) market has largely disappeared, with leading vendors now offering complete SASE solutions that converge software-defined wide-area network (SD-WAN) and SSE into single-vendor platforms. Organizations increasingly favor this consolidated approach to reduce operational complexity and improve visibility.”

How State and County Law Enforcement Use AccessPatrol to Meet CJIS and NIST 800-53 Requirements

I spent nearly a decade in the U.S. Federal Government, including roles at the White House, the U.S. Department of Commerce, and the U.S. Senate. I later advised public sector clients on technology and strategic growth problems at Accenture. The same pattern showed up everywhere I went. Agencies invest in sophisticated network defenses.

What MDM can't protect on developer machines (and what to do about it)

Mobile Device Management (MDM) is a type of software used by organizations to secure, manage, and monitor their employees' mobile devices. Tools like Jamf, Kandji, and Microsoft Intune give IT teams visibility and control over every sanctioned application across the fleet. For compliance frameworks like SOC 2 or ISO 27001, MDM is often a core component of how you demonstrate device control and ensure data security. If your MDM is deployed, congratulations, you've solved 2012's BYOD security challenge.

Security Automation Doesn't Mean What It Used To: A 2026 Practitioner's Guide

Security automation used to mean building a playbook. Someone on the team mapped out a workflow, connected a few tools, and watched it run on the alert types it was designed for. That worked for a while, in a different environment than the one security teams operate in today.

6 Best Practices for Managing Software Supply Chain Risks

Modern software is not written from scratch. It’s assembled. Developers pull from open-source repositories, import third-party libraries, accelerate development with AI coding assistants, and deploy across multi-stage CI/CD pipelines that span dozens of tools, services, and vendors.

15 Risky Cloud Misconfigurations and How To Mitigate Them

When people start driving, one of the first things they learn is how to set the rear-view and side-view mirrors. Whether driving locally or on the highway, these mirror configurations reduce accident risk because they improve the driver’s visibility into the cars behind and around them. In the cloud, various technical configurations act similarly.

Exposure Management Explained: How to Go Beyond Vulnerability Scanning

Vulnerability scanning gives security teams a starting point, but it has never been the whole picture. Scan results capture known CVEs across applications and systems, yet they say nothing about whether a given weakness is actually reachable, whether the controls around it are functioning correctly, or whether the people with access to it represent a meaningful risk. Exposure management addresses all of that.

Legal Considerations for Starting a New Business in Minnesota

Starting a business feels electric until the legal reality hits you. And it will hit you. According to research, 75% of small business owners are concerned they'll be targeted for a lawsuit. That number isn't just a statistic. It reflects the very real anxiety that keeps first-time founders up at night. The truth? Getting ahead of Minnesota business laws early isn't bureaucratic busywork; it's the single most practical move you can make before your first customer ever walks through the door.

From Idea to Product: What Separates Startups That Ship from Those That Stall

The gap between a startup that gains traction and one that burns through runway on a product nobody uses is rarely about the idea. It's almost always about execution - and execution in tech starts with how software gets built. Companies that treat development as a commodity end up with commodity results. Those that invest in custom software development for startups as a strategic discipline - with the right team, architecture, and process - tend to reach product-market fit faster and scale with far less friction.

Three ways intelligent workflows enhance network security

Network security is operationally complex. It involves constant triage, approvals, and monitoring, spread across a range of tools, teams, and environments. Traditionally, this requires teams to do a significant amount of time-consuming, repetitive, and draining manual work, resulting in a longer MTTR and leaving many practitioners overwhelmed and burnt out. The problem isn’t in the tools they use – it’s in the work that happens between tools.
