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.

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 →

I had mentioned to Stephen that I was thinking of making some YouTube videos on the topic of information security, but in an entertaining manner. He told me that they … Continue reading Twisting & Shouting →
