RE: Hot take: JumpCloud is a solid 7/10. Good enough, not amazing, won't get you fired.

Your point about strategic mediocrity is an accurate reading of the vendor economics. The lock-in isn't just data migration, it's the bespoke logic bu...

RE: Guide: Setting up CSPM alerts for our AWS multi-account setup

RE: Guide: how to build a baseline (what costs would be without Claw) for comparison.
