Insider Threats: What They Are and How to Prevent Them

aaguilar@tecnetone.com (Adriana Aguilar) — Mon, 12 Oct 2026 15:00:00 GMT

An insider threat is the risk that someone with legitimate access to a company's systems or information (an employee, a former employee whose account is still active, a vendor or a partner) causes a security incident, whether through carelessness, bad intent or because an attacker stole their credentials. What sets it apart from an external threat is the starting point: it doesn't have to get past any defense, because it is already inside.

Password Policy: How to Require Strong Passwords at Work

Alexander Chapellin — Thu, 08 Oct 2026 15:00:00 GMT

A strong password is one that is hard for a person to guess and hard for an automated program to crack: it is long (15 characters or more when it is the only thing protecting the account), unique to each service, absent from lists of leaked passwords and free of personal details such as names or dates. In a company, it is also paired with a second authentication factor and governed by written rules: the password policy.

MTTD, MTTA and MTTR: What They Are and How to Measure Them

lyoris@tecnetone.com (Levi Yoris) — Mon, 05 Oct 2026 15:00:00 GMT

MTTD, MTTA and MTTR are the three metrics that measure how fast a company deals with a cybersecurity incident. MTTD (mean time to detect) measures how much time passes between the start of an incident and the moment it is detected; MTTA (mean time to acknowledge) measures how long it takes a person to pick up the alert and start reviewing it; and MTTR (mean time to respond) measures how long it takes until the incident is contained or resolved. The lower they are, the less time an attacker has to move around inside your systems.

What Is Cybersecurity Risk Management? A 5-Step Guide

Scarlet Mendoza — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 15:00:00 GMT

Cybersecurity risk management is the ongoing process a company uses to identify what could affect its information and systems, estimate how likely each scenario is and how much damage it would cause, decide what to do about each risk (reduce it, transfer it, avoid it or accept it) and review those decisions periodically. The result is a prioritized list that shows what to protect first and where to invest the security budget.

Best SOC as a Service Providers in Mexico [2026]

gsanchez@tecnetone.com (Gustavo Sánchez) — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 15:00:00 GMT

In Mexico, the best SOC as a Service providers are the ones that deliver real security operations, not just a console full of alerts. That means a human team that monitors, investigates, contains incidents and keeps auditable evidence of everything. SOC as a Service means hiring a third party to run your Security Operations Center (SOC) so you don't have to build one in-house.

What Is System Hardening and Why Your Business Needs It

Alexander Chapellin — Mon, 28 Sep 2026 15:00:00 GMT

System hardening is the process of configuring servers, computers, network devices, applications and cloud services to reduce their attack surface. You remove the services, ports, accounts and permissions nobody needs and swap factory defaults for secure settings, then document the result as a baseline that gets reviewed on a regular schedule. The goal is for each system to do only what the business needs.

How to Choose a Penetration Testing Company

gsanchez@tecnetone.com (Gustavo Sánchez) — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 15:30:00 GMT

A penetration testing company is a provider that specializes in pentests: a team of ethical hackers who, with authorization and a scope agreed in writing, try to break into an organization's systems to show which flaws can be exploited, what impact they would have on the business and how to fix them. Choosing that provider well means comparing how they work (methodology, scope, validation of findings, retesting and reporting), not just how much they charge.

Disaster Recovery Plan: What It Is and How to Build One

quero@tecnetone.com (Zoilijee Quero) — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 21:15:00 GMT

A DRP (disaster recovery plan) is the document, and the set of technical resources behind it, that defines how a company restores its systems, its data and its operations after a serious failure: a server that stops working, a ransomware attack, human error, a fire or an extended power outage. It establishes what gets restored first, how quickly, from which copy, who carries it out and how you confirm that it works.

What Is a SOC and When to Hire It as a Service?

quero@tecnetone.com (Zoilijee Quero) — Tue, 15 Sep 2026 19:00:00 GMT

A SOC (Security Operations Center) is the team of analysts, processes and tools that watches activity across a company's systems around the clock, spots suspicious behavior, investigates every alert and contains incidents before they turn into a business problem. A SOC as a service (SOCaaS) is that same team, run by an outside provider and contracted by subscription, so you don't have to build your own infrastructure or hire analysts.
