Medieval strategies for Cyber Security
summary
Argues that concrete medieval practices map to modern security: pre-built hoardings are like ready-to-deploy disaster-response kits for incidents, wooden palisades show incremental hardening, sieges often fail from lack of supplies rather than wall breaches, zero-trust door wards demonstrate per-service authentication, and a communal chest secured by 10-lock chest multi-key authentication prevents single-point compromise; uses carpenters, locks and supply management as analogues and reports these measures actually worked historically.
