Smart Home Security Is Only Half the Job: Physical Weak Spots Homeowners Often Miss

Smart locks, video doorbells, motion sensors, and connected cameras have changed what home security looks like. You can check the front porch from another state, lock a door from your phone, or get an alert when someone walks into the backyard. Useful? Absolutely. Complete protection? Not quite. A smart home still depends on ordinary doors, windows, garages, exterior walls, and a network of devices that need attention. Some weak spots are digital. Others are surprisingly low-tech. A better approach is to look at the house as a series of security layers and check what could fail in each one.

Practical Cybersecurity for Small Water Utilities: 5 Steps to Reduce Operational Risk

SpiderLabs’ technical review of the July attacks examines the affected technologies, observed activity, and broader threat landscape. The next question is practical: what can small utilities realistically do about it? At many small water and wastewater facilities, there is often no dedicated security team to understaff. A licensed operator may be responsible for sampling, maintenance, compliance, and after-hours callouts, perhaps with limited support from municipal IT.

Active Directory isn't going away. Your group policy setup might be as brittle as COBOL

A Reddit thread on r/activedirectory asking whether Active Directory is going away pulled in loads of comments, and the most upvoted answer compared AD to COBOL: still running, still critical, still not going anywhere.
