Not every risk looks like an attack. Some problems start as small glitches, strange logs, or quiet delays that don’t seem urgent—until they are. What if your environment is already being tested, just not in ways you expected? Some of the most dangerous moves are hidden in plain sight. It’s worth asking: what patterns are […]
