Connor O’Lairy helps cybersecurity professionals understand the importance of establishing and maintaining secure configuration baselines. His content looks at how configuration security can complement patching efforts, reduce the attack surface, and mitigate the risk of exploitation. Connor focuses on creating content that is easy to understand, while still being rich in information and practical to implement.
A silent timer starts ticking in the server room of a mid-sized metropolitan hospital, counting down the minutes before 750 gigabytes of patient records vanish into the encrypted void of the dark web.
