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

I have been (slowly) reading Atomic Habits by James Clear. It's a great read and I'll probably write up some of my notes once I'm finished. 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 →

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 →

Every day is cyber security awareness month

October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month, or NCSAM as us cool kids like to call it.  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 … Continue reading Every day is cyber security awareness month →

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 →

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. But when you're numero uno, there's a big target painted on your back. After the latest iOS dropped, it appeared as if the … Continue reading TikTok – Facebook Dance-off →

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 →
