A Back-to-Basics Approach
The approach is rooted in practical, proven principles—cutting through hype to deliver effective results without unnecessary complexity or cost.
The focus is on fundamentals over flashy vendor solutions, which often fail to address the real problem. For example, ransomware — a headline threat today — can be mitigated with technologies and strategies from 2007.
The ethos is simple: do the basics well—with clarity, honesty, and precision.
