Do they need to touch that?

8th January 2026

Making resources available online exposes your organisation to significant risk. As we've seen in numerous attacks, including those that use the recent Mongobleed vulnerability, there's a lot of infrastructure available to the whole Internet that doesn't need to be.

Restricting access to only where it’s needed can massively reduce your risk. Got a web application that will only ever be accessed by people in the UK? Limit access to the UK only. Got a database hosted in AWS that should only receive connections from your own servers? Help secure it by not permitting connections from anywhere else.

You can apply the same restrictions on your internal network too, hardening the “soft inner bits” of your organisation’s infrastructre.

We can help

(For those curious, I wanted to send my friend's wife, a fellow stationery lover, a pen. I also know couples who live apart, so my questions weren't entirely crazy!)
