Automatic tank gauge systems may appear to be relatively simple monitoring devices. They measure the contents of storage tanks and provide operators with information needed to manage fuel, chemicals, water-treatment materials, and other liquids. But when these systems are exposed to the public internet, protected by default credentials, or connected […]

Internet-Exposed Tank Gauges Reveal a Persistent Critical Infrastructure Risk



Physical security has long relied on video systems that record events for later review. In the past, organizations would wait for something to happen and then rely on recorded footage to understand what went wrong. This model worked when environments were smaller and risks were easier to identify.  But today’s […]

Executive protection has always been a physical discipline. Motorcades, residential security, and advance teams. But the threats that create the most physical risk today often start with something nobody in the security detail can see: a data broker profile, an old Strava route, or a tagged photo on a teenager’s […]

How Digital Exposure Turns Executive Families Into Physical Security Risks


Drones are versatile pieces of equipment for military operations and recreational activities, and have since gravitated toward commercial security applications. While drones are helpful for physical security, like monitoring the perimeter or providing an aerial view of the facility, these features are also beneficial toward cybersecurity. Teams can operate drones […]

How to Integrate Drones Into Your Cybersecurity Strategy


Outdoor environments are among the most challenging spaces to secure, constantly shifting, exposed to risk, and often under-prioritized in security planning. As threats become more opportunistic and less predictable, organizations are rethinking how they safeguard sites that fall outside fixed, facility-based models. In our work across Northern California, we’ve seen […]
