Hacking is not rare. It’s not sophisticated. And it’s not random. In this intelligence-style briefing from Cyber Sitrep, we cut through the noise and break down how hacking actually happens today. No Hollywood myths — just real-world tactics, behaviors, and patterns seen across organizations of every size. This episode reframes hacking as what it truly is: Automated, Opportunistic, Constant We cover what attackers look for, how access is gained, and why most breaches aren’t dramatic — they’re quiet, repeatable, and preventable. This is not a warning. This is a situation report. Cyber Sitrep Episode #41 Episodes Every Wednesday at 11 A.M.

Too small to be a target? That’s the myth — and it’s one of the most dangerous ones in cybersecurity. In this episode of Cyber Sitrep, we break down why small and mid-sized businesses are often the primary targets, not the exception. From opportunistic attacks and automated scans to supply-chain exposure and compliance blind spots, we dig into how attackers actually think — and why “we’re too small” is exactly what they hope you believe. This isn’t fear-mongering or vendor hype. It’s a grounded discussion based on real incidents, firsthand experience, and the realities facing organizations without massive security budgets or teams. If you think cybersecurity only matters once you “get big,” this episode is for you. Cyber Sitrep Episode #40 Episodes Every Wednesday at 11 A.M.

In this episode of The Cyber Sitrep, Eric and Mike pull back the curtain on their first-hand experiences using AI in real-world work scenarios. This isn’t another “AI for productivity” guide — it’s a field report. The crew discusses what worked, what didn’t, and the unexpected moments where AI either impressed… or completely fell flat. From drafting compliance content to creative projects and daily operations, we’re sharing how we actually used AI tools, where they fit in, and where they still fall short.

Think of this as an honest check-in from the front lines of the AI revolution — unfiltered, practical, and a little chaotic.
