typos:
instead of "go the offensive" it should be "go on the offensive"
instead of "as long as properly configured" it should be "as long as it is properly configured"

Oops! That first is definitely a typo, though the second is intentionally written with that construction (no need to repeat the subject of the sentence twice in this case).

It just reads wrong to me. You could replace "as long as" with "if", or omit it all together. Or just ignore me, i'm no grammar expert.

Yeah I can see that, it's just a bit verbose to repeat the subject though, and technically unnecessary. It's grammatically correct, but in this case it's a question of what you're used to seeing. "As long as" and "if" mean the same thing here, and are interchangeable, though notice that "if properly configured..." could similarly become the more explicit "if it is properly configured...", it's just more verbose despite carrying the same meaning. The first mention of the subject in either case can be omitted.
That said, I'll change it to "if" anyway because that's what readers are more used to seeing so it won't be as controversial!
