The future often looks silly

I just took a photo of my scribblings on my whiteboard. The automation workflow will trigger that photo to be uploaded with that relevant project. Technology is but a mere extension of me. As I sit down, I recall a time, probably around 2006 because it was before the iPhone came out and only important … Continue reading The future often looks silly →

A 5-step process for nearly anything

If you're not familiar with the book, I do recommend it, or at least subscribing to his weekly newsletter 3-2-1. It was in the most recent newsletter in which … Continue reading A 5-step process for nearly anything →

Cybersecurity at the movies: LA LA Land

I got around to finally watching LA LA Land. Despite it being a few years old, I honestly didn't know what to expect. From the first scene I was mesmerised. The colours, the lighting, the choreography, the music, it was a feast of the senses and definitely among in my top 5 or 10 opening … Continue reading Cybersecurity at the movies: LA LA Land →

Review: The Social Dilemma

Many people had told me about the Netflix documentary, the Social Dilemma. So, I gave in and watched it. It's an interesting documentary that's very well put together. Interviewing some of the people who've worked at big social media companies, developed some of the tools, and are now shocked...

I thought I needed a new iPad, I was wrong

Yesterday, Apple had their annual announcement with the usual fan-fare. Many a column inch has been analysing the new features and products. I've had my eye on getting a tablet for a while, and when I say tablet, I mean an iPad. The iPad Pro was a bit too pricey and powerful for my needs, … Continue reading I thought I needed a new iPad, I was wrong →

Cybersecurity at the Movies: Zombieland

Cybersecurity at the movies is a series of blogs in which I take a light-hearted look at cybersecurity through the lens of pop culture. My friend and colleague James McQuiggan recently told me he’d listened to Walt Disney CEO’s Bob Iger’s audiobook and took away lessons that he could apply to cybersecurity.  Not wanting to … Continue reading Cybersecurity at the Movies: Zombieland →

Why you should consider profits

The COVID-19 pandemic literally brought the world to a standstill. Like any disruptive event, there have been winners and losers. For example, airlines are set for their worst year on record with the International Air Transport Association claiming its 290 member airlines revenues would drop to $419bn on 2020, down 50% from 2019. On the … Continue reading Why you should consider profits →

TikTok is the cool kid on the social media block these days. It's slicked back hair, leather jacket, and comb in back pocket make it the Fonz of the social media world.

Supply Chain and Third Party Risks

Supply chain, or third party risks are no small matter. Many times we've seen companies get breached via a third party. TJX perhaps being the most popular example, but by no means the only one. NotPetya was initially spread to a Ukrainian tax software M.E Doc. And how many times has supplier fraud caused a … Continue reading Supply Chain and Third Party Risks →

@TwitterSupport A Lesson In Incident Response Comms

If you are a user of the social media platform Twitter (it's where the cool kids moved to when their parents joined Facebook, and what the younger kids avoid in favour of Tik Tok). There was a bit of a breachy weachy that went on. There are plenty of stories that are speculating on the … Continue reading @TwitterSupport A Lesson In Incident Response Comms →
