The 3 security mistakes that sink most startups (and the $5/mo fix)
Most startups don't get hacked because of sophisticated nation-state attacks. They get hacked because of embarrassingly simple mistakes:
1. Default credentials left in production. Your staging environment from 6 months ago? It's still publicly accessible with admin/admin. Attackers scan for this constantly.
2. No dependency monitoring. That npm package you installed two years ago has 4 known CVEs. You won't find out until it's too late.
3. Single point of failure on auth. One compromised admin account = game over. No MFA, no session management, no anomaly detection.
The fix isn't hiring a $200k/yr security engineer. It's staying informed.
That's why I built CyberLimit — a weekly cybersecurity briefing for startup founders and CTOs. Every issue covers the threats, patches, and decisions that actually matter to companies your size.
$5/mo. Less than your morning coffee. More valuable than your last security audit.
