One log line on its own rarely tells the story — it’s the correlation that exposes the incident.

If you’re not checking integrity automatically, you’re just waiting for an attacker to point it out for you.

Not everything needs military-grade crypto, but the way I see it, you should always design like it does.

Certificates are either managed properly, or they’re a time bomb — I’d rather automate them before they become a fire drill.

If there isn’t a reliable record of what happened, then in my book, it didn’t happen.

In my experience, good automation isn’t just about speed — it’s about trust, accountability, and keeping things tight from the start.
