The Small

Business

Cyber Security Guy

Welcome to the blog and podcast, where we share brutally honest views, sharp opinions, and lived experience from four decades in the technology trenches. Whether you're here to read or tune in, expect no corporate fluff and no pulled punches.

Everything here is personal. These are my and the team’s thoughts, opinions forged in the heat of battle! And not those of our employers, clients, or any other professional with whom we are associated.

If you’re offended, take it up with us, not them.

What you’ll get here (and on the podcast):

  • Straight-talking advice for small businesses that want to stay secure

  • Honest takes on cybersecurity trends, IT malpractice, and vendor nonsense

  • The occasional rant — and yes, the occasional expletive

  • War stories from the frontlines (names changed to protect the spectacularly guilty)

I've been doing this for over 40 years. I’ve seen genius, idiocy, and everything in between. Some of it makes headlines, and most of it should.

This blog and the podcast are where we break it all down.

Grab a coffee and pull up a chair, you need to see this!

Your Amazon Driver Just Did a Better Penetration Test Than Your IT Company

An Amazon driver just delivered the most useful security lesson of 2026 and he charged absolutely nothing for it. While trying to drop off a parcel, he couldn't find a safe place, so he thought laterally, worked out the code to a locked shed, left the parcel inside, and then wrote a note explaining exactly how he got in. He documented the breach.

He filed the report. He even ticked the compliance checkbox. Your IT company just got shown up by a bloke in a high-vis jacket. The question is: are you laughing, or are you checking your shed code right now?
