About

We track what's attacking you, and test what's defending you.

Black Swamp Info Security is an independent threat intelligence and product review outfit. We publish plain-language breakdowns of active attack techniques — ransomware, phishing, credential attacks — and hands-on comparisons of the security products meant to stop them. No sponsored placements, no affiliate-driven rankings: every review is scored on the same criteria regardless of who makes the product.

What we cover

Two things, done carefully rather than a little bit of everything: Threat Intel, plain-language briefs on how active attack techniques actually work and what stops them, and Product Reviews, hands-on comparisons of the security tools people are actually deciding between — password managers, VPNs, and more as we grow.

Who this is for

IT and security practitioners who want a fast, accurate read without wading through vendor marketing, and everyday users trying to make one good decision — which password manager, which VPN — without becoming a security expert first.

Marketing spend is a poor proxy for trustworthiness. We look at what's actually been audited, published, and tested.
