This is exactly why we've always advised people to be skeptical of "free" security tools.

If a VPN or app is free, you have to ask: How are they making money?

Too often, the answer is your data. They may collect browsing habits, inject trackers, sell analytics, or monetize your activity in ways most users never realize.

A VPN's job is to protect your privacy—not become another company watching everything you do.

The old saying still applies:
If you're not paying for the product, you are the product.
When it comes to security and privacy, choose providers with a clear business model, a strong reputation, and a proven commitment to protecting customer data.

Cyber pros: what example best helps leaders understand why ordinary business data has criminal value? #CyberSecurity

[Pierson-Tech @Pierson_Tech]

Ordinary business data can be criminal inventory.

Cyber pros: how are you governing browser extensions without crushing useful workflows? #CyberSecurity

[Pierson-Tech @Pierson_Tech]

That useful browser extension may be software supply chain risk sitting in the toolbar.

Cyber pros: would you recommend Google Advanced Protection for security-conscious personal users, or only for elevated-risk cases? #CyberSecurity

Cyber pros: what phishing metric tells you the most about real resilience? #CyberSecurity

[Pierson-Tech @Pierson_Tech]

A lower phishing click rate is not the same as resilience.

Someone will eventually click. The question is whether they report fast and your team can contain it.

Cyber pros: what is your go-to control for third-party devices that need access? #CyberSecurity

[Pierson-Tech @Pierson_Tech]

Trusted auditor. Compromised laptop. Flat network. Half the desktops blue screening.

The lesson: trust the people, verify the access.

Cyber pros: where does overprivileged access hide the longest in real environments? #CyberSecurity

[Pierson-Tech @Pierson_Tech]

Least privilege fails quietly: old roles, vendor accounts, service accounts, SaaS apps, and AI tools collecting access over time.
