Infosec Friends

For all the talk about it being an echo chamber and the like, I've met a ton of people in security whom I otherwise wouldn't have. As I was pondering over this over breakfast one morning, I came to the conclusion that I end up grouping my infosec friends into different categories. They probably look … Continue reading Infosec Friends →

Slide Rules

I read this blog post on Slide Rules by Wendy Nather and immediately dropped her a note asking for permission to convert it into a video. After a huge battle with 20th Century Fox over rights to film I won.. well at least that's how I imagine it to have happened.

This is the 8th part on my CISSP Reloaded where I am revisiting the 10 CISSP domains I studied for many years ago to see what has changed and how much of it I have retained as well as adding in my own personal thoughts, experiences and rambles into the mix.

Flame – Fact or FUD

What is FUD? Is it good or bad and how can you differentiate between whats true and what's FUD?
