Welcome, I'm Kyle (aka CybersecKyle)!
This is my home on the independent web, where I write about cybersecurity, MSP life, practical IT work, and the occasional tech review. I also keep weekly notes here because not everything worth sharing needs to be a full post.
Living off the land attacks abuse the same tools administrators depend on every day, making identity, logging, privilege control, and application control critical parts of modern defense.
Backups are not real until you test them. A practical, in-depth guide to building, verifying, and restoring backups across Windows, macOS, and Linux so you are actually protected when it matters.
Two weeks of highs and lows. From mental resets and being sidelined by sickness to family milestones and MSP curveballs, this stretch was a reminder that progress is not always linear, and that is okay.
AI-assisted coding is speeding up software development, but it is also making it easier to ship insecure defaults, weak access controls, poisoned dependencies, and code nobody on the team can confidently defend.
Cybersecurity keeps getting more specialized, but many teams are still losing time, clarity, and trust on the basics. The real cost is not specialization itself. It is what happens when context disappears.
