How to Create a Hyper-V Virtual Switch | External, Internal & Private Switches

Hyper-V Virtual Switches are essential for connecting virtual machines to networks and managing communication between Hyper-V VMs, the host, and external networks. In this video, learn about the different types of Hyper-V Virtual Switches and when to use each one: External Virtual Switch – Connects VMs to the physical network Internal Virtual Switch – Enables communication between VMs and the Hyper-V host Private Virtual Switch – Enables communication between VMs on the same host.

Reconciling an AI Risk Estimate Against What Truly Happened

A model produces a figure, an event happens, and somebody asks whether the figure was right. It is the obvious question and it has almost no published answer, because the comparison is harder than it looks. ‍ A single realized loss cannot falsify a distribution. If a model puts a one percent chance on exceeding a threshold and the threshold is exceeded, the one percent case occurred, which is what the model said would sometimes happen. ‍

The Cyber Risk Inputs That Move the Answer Most

A cyber loss model has dozens of inputs and every one of them can be argued about. Record counts, downtime costs, control effectiveness, secondary loss factors, event likelihoods. ‍ A few of them determine the answer and the rest barely move it. Knowing which is which tells you where estimation effort belongs, and more usefully which disagreements about the model are not worth having. ‍

PCI DSS Continuous Compliance: How to Keep Payment-Page Controls Working Between Audits

At the 2026 PCI SSC North America Community Meeting in Vancouver, continuous compliance was a recurring theme: how do organizations move beyond point-in-time validation and keep security controls working as their environments change? For payment-page security, that question is especially practical. Your last assessment captured your environment at a point in time. Since then, a release may have added a checkout dependency. A vendor may have updated its JavaScript. Marketing may have changed a tag.

Building for the Future: Why We're Doubling Down on Customer Experience at Brivo

One of the earliest business lessons I learned is the importance of taking exceptional care of customers.

The Agentic SOC Isn't Coming for Analysts' Jobs. It's Coming for Their Tabs.

An agentic SOC uses AI-powered investigation, analysis, and automation to gather data, connect activity, and handle repetitive investigative work. Analysts remain in control and focus on judgment, prioritization, and response. This addresses the need for machine-speed security operations as AI agents gain autonomy and Tier 1 access to systems. Spend five minutes watching a security analyst at work and the “AI will replace analysts” headline starts to sound out of touch.
