This Memorial Day, we pause to honor the courageous men and women who gave their lives for our nation’s freedom.

"The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it." – John F. Kennedy

Their selfless sacrifice reminds us to cherish the liberties we hold dear and to live with purpose, gratitude, and unity. Let’s keep their families in our hearts and strive to uphold the values they fought for.

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God." – Matthew 5:9

Great first day at TEEX Cyber Readiness Summit! Enjoyed meeting and connecting with others in the industry.

Visitors were able to interact with our live hacking demonstrations, Cybersecurity Trivia, and win prizes.

Up tomorrow at 4pm, our Founder and CEO, Robert Neel, will be presenting, “Breaching a Network with Risk-Accepted Vulnerabilities”. Come see real-world examples of how “acceptable” risks can still lead to total compromise - and what to do about it.

Thank you, veterans, for your courage and sacrifice in selflessly protecting our freedoms. May God bless you and your families.

One of the best ways to test your organization’s security and your potential exposure to hackers is with pe*******on testing.

But, if you haven’t implemented basic security guidelines, a pe*******on test isn’t a good place to start.

It would be like going to the dentist without ever brushing your teeth or flossing. You know exactly what the dentist is going to recommend already, so why waste your time?

That is why we documented some basic security guidelines that are relevant to all organizations, including:
🔹Understanding risk
🔹User security
🔹Network security
🔹Perimeter security
🔹Windows vs MacOS vs Linux
🔹System administration
🔹Mobile devices
🔹BYOD policies
🔹Software updates
🔹Wireless / WiFi
🔹Physical Security
🔹Credentials and Authentication
🔹And more!

Once you have worked on these basic guidelines, then you are ready to validate the security controls you worked on with pe*******on testing.
