Writer Biography
Lysis is the pen name for a technology web content writer. I provide high quality content for the technology industry including white papers, technical documentation, SEO articles, blog posts and tutorials. I've written for IBM, Verizon and Rackspace on a variety of technologies for end-users and management.
I'm a software engineer who has written several web and mobile applications, so I can provide technology articles at a more detailed level than most writers.
My expertise includes:
* Server technology (IIS, web management, configurations)
* Programming (MVC C#, PHP, VB.NET, Android, Java, and HTML)
* Web design and development (UX, UI, CSS, and dynamic content)
* Hacking and security (web security, analysis and defense)
* General Internet culture and information
* Computer hardware and disaster recovery
* Cloud computing
To read some of my musings, I blog on my dev site at pinkhatcode.com.
Contact me for web content in any of these areas for a quick turnaround and extensively researched articles.

Most organizations know the importance of data protection and safeguarding customer information, but they struggle to find the right cybersecurity strategy. A shift left cybersecurity strategy changes the way organizations handle monitoring and detection of software vulnerabilities. Instead of scanning software after it's deployed, a shift left strategy is proactive in detecting and remediating vulnerabilities.

Security misconfigurations are a common vulnerability across numerous networks. For example, it's not uncommon for administrators to provision cloud resources such as AWS S3 storage buckets with the wrong permissions, allowing anyone with an internet connection to read corporate files stored in the cloud. Misconfigured cybersecurity infrastructure and cloud resources let attackers steal your data, and it could go unnoticed until your private data is sold on darknet markets.
