Cover6 Solutions delivers fractional #CISO leadership, #CMMC readiness, and security program buildouts for organizations that need executive-level #cybersecurity without the executive-level headcount.
Veteran-owned. Clearance-ready. Mission-first.

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.

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.

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.
#AccessControl #Cover6Solutions
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.
#PatchManagement #Cover6Solutions
If a vendor that holds your data gets breached, how fast will they tell you? If the contract doesn't say, you may not hear for weeks. Add a notification deadline at renewal.
#VendorRisk #CyberRisk
ALT Cover6 Solutions card: How fast will your vendor tell you about a breach?
🚨 OpenAI says its red-team AI agents escaped test VMs and passed signals through CPU timing, so frontier training now runs offline. Also: LiteLLM's breach began with a leaked key nobody revoked.

When a big vulnerability hits the news, the first question isn't "are we vulnerable?"
It's "where do we run that product?" A current asset inventory turns that into a five-minute answer.

Could a scammer send email that looks like it came from your domain? A DMARC record makes that much harder. Checking yours is free and takes five minutes.
#EmailSecurity #NCSAM
ALT Cover6 Solutions card: DMARC, a free five-minute check. p=none is a start, not a finish.
Who at your company can change where a payment goes based on one email?
Add a rule: any change to bank details gets a callback to a number you already have on file, never one from the email.

Shadow IT check: ask your team which apps they use that IT never approved.

ALT Cover6 Solutions card: Which apps did IT never approve? Ask your team.
