Data-Driven Security
For Modern Infrastructure
We investigate real-world deployments, analyze failure patterns, and publish open research to help practitioners build resilient systems.
Our Methodology
YoCyber Research operates independently of vendors. Our insights come from active engagements, community telemetry, and controlled lab environments.
Evidence Based
Every claim is backed by reproducible labs, packet captures, or anonymized production logs.
Vendor Neutral
Unbiased analysis of tools and platforms. We solve problems, not sell products.
Open For All
Our core research is always free to access for the community to learn and improve.

Kubernetes Network Policy Gaps in Real-World Deployments
We audited 50+ production clusters to identify common misconfigurations. This detailed report uncovers why default-deny policies are rarely effective in practice and provides a new framework for isolating workloads without breaking east-west traffic.
Measuring Security Control Effectiveness
Buying tools is easy; proving they work is hard. A practitioner's guide to validation metrics that actually matter to the board.
