Identity, access, endpoints, monitoring, and the seams between them. The emphasis is on how digital controls behave as part of a wider program rather than as a category of their own.

Under examination

The questions this topic works through.

Protocol publishes when there is something worth reading rather than on a schedule. These are the questions this topic exists to answer — an agenda, not a set of conclusions.

01

02
Which digital controls fail silently, and how would anyone find out?
03
Where does the boundary between a security team and a technology team leave work unowned?
