Investors buy up the wrong Zoom
It's a few weeks old, but this is too good a story not to share. The US Securities and Exchange Commission has stepped in to clear up the worst case of mistaken identity on Wall Street, suspending the shares of Zoom Technologies, a small Chinese company that investors were confusing with Zoom, the video-calling app … Continue reading Investors buy up the wrong Zoom
Tech debt of remote working
The Shodan blog posted some trends in internet exposure, which like most of the Shodan research is very interesting. One part that caught my eye was this. The number of devices exposing RDP to the Internet has grown over the past month which makes sense given how many organizations are moving to remote work. It's … Continue reading Tech debt of remote working
7 talks I’m planning for once the pandemic is over
I've been thinking a lot lately because I've had time on my hands. Once the pandemic is over, and the conferences start up again, people will be submitting a whole bunch of talks around their cabin-feverish experiences. So I'm listing my talks out now so that nobody else steals the idea, and to let conferences … Continue reading 7 talks I’m planning for once the pandemic is over
Rules of the club
It was 1999 when I walked into the cinema to see Fight Club. A movie I fully expected to be 2 hours of men punching each other’s lights out. And while there was a fair bit of that, it was a far cleverer and more impactful movie beyond fighting. With Tyler Durden, the anti-hero played … Continue reading Rules of the club
The Engagement Zone
This year at RSA, there was a new area introduced called the engagement zone. As the name implies, it is less about speakers talking and attendees consuming the information. Rather, it is meant to be a place where attendees can get together and exchange ideas. I was honored to have been asked to help facilitate … Continue reading The Engagement Zone
My 10 year YouTube anniversary
10 years ago I posted my first YouTube video. Recorded it on my laptops webcam and edited using Windows Movie Maker. https://youtu.be/No4nT_IfATE It's been a great 10 years, and while I haven't gotten any of the coveted YouTube awards for having millions of subscribers, it's been a great journey. Not only did I learn a … Continue reading My 10 year YouTube anniversary
Something for conferences
This isn't a real post, it's just a bit too long for Twitter, so I'm thinking out aloud here. Inspired by this tweet by Dan Cuthbert https://twitter.com/dcuthbert/status/1122415486136877056?s=20 I absolutely agree with Dan that we sometimes need to look at the content we have and consider the best medium through which it should be shared or … Continue reading Something for conferences
The Cyber Security Awareness Show
October is Cyber Security Awareness Month in many countries around the world. This time, I wanted to go big. So instead of writing several blog posts, or creating one video, I went ambitious and created a whole series (well a trilogy, but a series all the same). The wonderful folk at Eskenzi PR, Yvonne, Sam, … Continue reading The Cyber Security Awareness Show
A peek behind the curtain
Having recently dropped my third song with my band Host Unknown, "Lost all the Money", there have been many people asking what the secret to success is and how I manage the team. Fortunately, on this shoot, we were accompanied by a young aspiring film-maker by the name of Charlie Langford who captured what goes … Continue reading A peek behind the curtain
