Is Anyone Protecting It?  The conversation about AI security has a blind spot.  We talk endlessly about model vulnerabilities, data privacy, and cyberattacks. But the physical facilities where AI actually lives — where the servers hum, the cooling systems run, and the power flows — get comparatively little scrutiny. That’s a problem, because

Why Billing Errors Are the #1 Reason Security Companies Lose Clients (And How to Fix It)  An overcharge of $200 doesn’t cost you $200. It costs you the contract. And the renewal. And the referral.
