A lot of money, time and effort is spent on protection against unwanted access and data loss.
Many involved, who are into 'Security', have an uneasy feeling about it. They sense something is wrong with the popular methods and highly praised products, but can not pinpoint what it is..
The expression "Safeguard" on the introduction page points in the right direction. It came up while boiling down outcomes from a rather specific research project, many years ago.
Field research is crucial !
Isolated lab tests, reading dated books and web-pages, doing courses and participating in subject discussion forums only provides some insight, in general inherently tainted by many opinionated presumptions and/or contradicting commercial interests.
That is why we prefer to stay ahead with our own field tested findings.
We do (high-impact) field experiments, out in the unsuspecting wild. Creating or altering specific situations to test ideas or to provoke non-hypothetical reactions and discussions. We do this in order to improve our methods, but also to raise awareness or keep an eye on actual trends in a specific area.
By using a daring nonconformist proactive approach we found answers to many common safeguard questions.
Some of the answers also turned out to debunk the predominant academic theories,
and the resulting publicly known be ineffective official 'cyber-security' standards/frameworks/methods
like ISO2700x/SANS/OWASP/COBIT/ and all others which are based on the same presumptions .
- Most interesting research result turns out to be that
- There is a simple way to completely prevent unauthorised access from hostile actors !
- Without adverse impact on services, user friendliness, nor extra costs.
- Thus, preventing 'hackers',espionage,ransomware,... from even getting an opportunity.
