Article: Ransomware gangs aren’t very bad - published almost 4 years ago.
Content: Ransomware is the big threat to all organisations. It’s the worst thing to ever happen on the internet. All ransomware gangs need to be hunted down and shut down wherever they may be. No ISP should be left unturned, no router left unexamined. They all need to be burnt to the ground! But is that really the case? If you think of the story of Goldilocks...

Article: All security products are good - published almost 4 years ago.
Content: I tried to be a bit click-baity with my headline by saying all security products are good. But I think I failed in making it very enticing. That’s typically a problem with click bait, if you don’t go big, you don’t really generate a ton of interest. And if you go too big, then you end up looking crazier than the naruto runner outside Area 51. I was read...

Article: Making the best of a bad situation - published almost 4 years ago.
Content: It must have been around 2005. I was fed up with my job. I was the at that stage of life where I had the perfect balance of youthful arrogance, a disdain of authority, and just enough knowledge to give me illusions that I could do my boss, and his boss, and his bosses job better than they could combined. So, I did what anyone would do – updated my CV an...

Article: What business are you in? - published almost 4 years ago.
Content: Do you want fries with that?Global giant McDonald’s is famous for its fast food. However, it’s not their burgers and fries that made the business profitable. Ray Kroc struggled to initially bring enough revenue from his franchised restaurants in order to pay for the land and the building for McDonald’s restaurants, which meant growth was limited to one rest...

Article: Cybersecurity startup ideas - published almost 4 years ago.
Content: I’ve seen VC’s fund many security and tech startups. Lots of the ideas are rubbish, so I’ve come up with my own ideas that aren’t rubbish so VC’s can fund me instead. Don’t steal any of my ideas or I will sue you! Take a human skull and 3D print an eyeball on it, add Linux to the inside where the brain would be. Website uses photo of person looki...

Article: The Future of Cybersecurity Isn’t What We Expected - published almost 4 years ago.
Content: We were told that by now, we would live in a perfect world with flying cars. But that hasn’t arrived yet. We also believed that cybersecurity would be a problem that would have been solved, but it just seems to be getting worse. But what if the problem isn’t getting worse. What if we have solved cybersecurity and we do have flying cars – we’re just no...

Article: Roll your own VPN and other tech advice - published almost 4 years ago.
Content: Like many people, over the last couple of years, my main real interaction with people outside of my immediate family and Amazon delivery drivers has been via the internet.  The beauty of the internet is that you don’t need to shower, put on decent clothes, or worry about offending anyone. If anything, offending someone is an online ritual that everyone p...

Article: Setting a Guinness World Record - published almost 4 years ago.
Content: I’ve been thinking of the best way to write this post for several days. Many drafts have ended up being deleted. Which, to be honest, doesn’t have the same visual satisfaction as seeing pages crumpled up into balls and tossed across the room into the bin. But here we are. Last week, KnowBe4, OneLogin, and Eskenzi PR partnered up to attempt to set the Gu...

Content: October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month.  Delivering effective cyber security awareness is an ongoing process, and not one that can be solved in one month a year. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.  Staying safe online has many similarities with staying safe on the line aka tightrope walking. It involves a delicate mix of courage, fool...

Article: What Your CISO Can Learn From Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather - published about 4 years ago.
Content: Logan Paul and his brother Jake Paul are what you could call social media celebrities. They amassed over 20 million followers across YouTube, Vine, Instagram, and others over the years through different types of content, sketches, and pranks.  To anyone over the age of 35, they probably are considered a fad, forgettable, a representation of all that is w...

Article: The NCSAM Campaign - published almost 5 years ago.
Content: For October’s National Cyber Security Awareness month, I put together a few videos and blogs. In my mind it formed a campaign, but for various reasons, the timings were a bit inconsistent and the different resources ended up on different places. So as a recap – I put everything from this year into this one blog post. Hey just because the month is over doesn...

I ended up writing, 80 blog posts (most of which were published elsewhere) created 54 videos, 48 podcasts, and 48 presentations and webinars. I guess lockdown gave me more time to mull on things and be more productive. Despite the fact that I am far more productive than the average per...

Content: Hear the blog narrated The dangers of downloading untrusted code from the internet is well documented. You never know what is contained within someone else’s code, be it sloppy coding, or malicious intent.  If it is a snippet of code that you can easily read, it can be relatively risk free. Because, why put in the effort to reinvent the wheel when the...

Content: Today I learn the phrase Fisherian Runaway, which was a term coined by mathematical biologist Ronald Fisher to account for the evolution of exaggerated male ornamentation, e.g. peacocks with their big tails.
