Explains account, password-manager and device security for people and teams that work with crypto.
Why read Pablo Sabbatella?
Pablo is useful when a team has installed security tools but has not decided who can access what. His password-manager article examines shared vaults, privileged owner accounts, recovery material and what happens when an employee leaves. Start with the access and offboarding examples: they show how a single compromised account can expose more than its owner's passwords.
His OSs Security article moves the same question onto the computer used for sensitive work. It explains why the project separates hardening an ordinary configuration from resetting a device after suspected compromise. Read the short article for that distinction, then inspect the linked project documentation for your operating system. He founded Opsek, which sells operational-security audits and training, and writes from that practice.
