Foothold on a pentest and jumping straight to exploits? Map first: who is logged in where and which groups hold admin. The path is usually in that map.

ALT Cover6 Solutions card: Logs nobody reviews are a storage bill. Pick five alerts that matter. Review them daily.

ATO package kicked back? To an assessor, "implemented" with no artifact means not implemented. Tie each control to one piece of proof: a config export, a log, a signed policy.

Separate admin accounts are free. Daily email on an admin account is how one click becomes a company-wide incident.
#LeastPrivilege #NCSAM
ALT Cover6 Solutions tip card: Your admin account shouldn't read email.
Can't answer "are we affected?" when a big vulnerability hits the news? Start with an asset inventory. It's boring, and it's the first thing every framework asks for.
#vCISO #CyberRisk
ALT Cover6 Solutions card: Asset inventory is boring. It's also the first thing every framework asks for.
Who on your team has admin rights on their own laptop?
Most daily work doesn't need it. Removing local admin stops many malware installs and risky changes. Start with a list, then set up a simple way to request exceptions.

Can't patch everything at once? You don't have to. Critical flaws being exploited in the wild: days, not months. Everything else can follow your normal cycle.
#PatchManagement #NCSAM
ALT Cover6 Solutions card: Who checks that updates actually went in? Critical fixes exploited in the wild: days, not months.

A shared login for admin@ or info@ can't tell you who did what. Give every person their own account, and turn the shared one into a shared mailbox people reach from their own logins.
You can't investigate what you can't attribute.

Unsupported software is a standing invitation. This week, list anything that no longer gets security updates. For each item, decide: replace it, isolate it, or accept the risk in writing with an owner and a date.
