Complexity of Security (Part 1)

Security doesn’t fail because people don’t care—it fails when it’s too complex. With organisations juggling dozens of security tools, confusion has become a hidden vulnerability. Cybersecurity expert, Andrew Johnston, explains how over-engineered systems and technical language drive people to bypass security, and why simplicity—not more controls—is the key to building security that actually works.

From Open Ports to Organisational Maturity: Why Pen Testing Is the Foundation of a Healthy Security Posture

“No issues detected” can create a dangerous sense of false confidence. Compliance may satisfy an audit, but it does not prove security controls will withstand real-world threats.

Vibe Coding: The Hidden Security Risks of AI-Generated Software

Artificial intelligence is making software development more accessible than ever, allowing users to generate code simply by describing what they want. This emerging practice, often called “vibe coding,” promises faster development and greater accessibility. However, without proper requirements, testing, and security awareness, AI-generated software can introduce serious vulnerabilities. Understanding the risks behind AI-assisted development is essential before deploying code into production environments.
