I'm a #hacker. Question my use of that term? Well I have been in the truest sense of that term since I was a young kid. I'm also a #CISO, 25+ years in tech have been good to me overall. I serve on multiple boards as well, back to that whole "tech has treated me well thing". I'm fortunate to be an Internationally recognized Public #Speaker and the Author of "Cyber Security Career Guide". I do my level best to give back to this community.

I'm also a #pilot and love #aviation. I live in the northern Midwest of the US so if I want good #BBQ I gotta make it myself, and that's just what I do.

If you're reading an opinion I posted I assure you it's mine and does not reflect the views of my employer or any organizations I'm affiliated with.

My pronouns are she/her, and if my listing that bothers you, GTFOH right now.

Come for the #infosec, stay for #HackerFlightSchool, and eat all the #HackerBBQ

Definitely Not a Parody Account, although I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Had an amazing conversation with Gavriella about the BISO role, recruiting in cybersecurity and the evolving role of the CISO.

Apologies to all my followers but I'm going to do something I never do, I'm going to beg.

My friend, part of the infosec community, needs help. You can read her story on GFM, but if you can spare $1, $5, any amount, can you please help save her life?

Hey y'all, have you heard of Operation Safe Escape? They actively help people escape harassment and abusive situations. They're one of my favorite orgs. If you've got a few dollars you can spare, could you help their mission by donating?

So a vendor chose to advertise their upcoming conference at Shmoo. 2024 and we still have all white male speaker pools for these events. WIATF?? Then their COO weighed in exactly as I predicted they would without any sense of irony at all. So here's a link to the full thread of my detailed response.

Hey my #aviation #avgeek and #infosec folks, my friend's daughter is working to get her wings! Eagle Flight Squadron is a non-profit program that is helping her achieve this dream. They are currently doing a fundraiser and the money she raises will not only help support the program but help her directly offset the cost of her training.

If you are able, could I please ask you to help by either buying some popcorn or even just making a direct donation through her page?

@AlyAlyOutnFree I headed this off early on ay my employer. When HRC and NAACP issued their travel advisories I reached out to our full executive leadership team and told them not only would I not be traveling to Florida but that they needed to start thinking about asking others to travel there as well as how to protect our employees there.

I was actually very impressed with how they've handled it since, although I still have to explain to some folks why Florida is not an option for team meetings at this point.

I said what I said.

Stop gatekeeping the validity of peoples safety, especially from a place of privilege or safety.

Alyssa MacKenzie 9m β€’ 8 ... Making comments about people that won't travel to Florida when you're in a place of privilege and are not in danger is extremely shortsighted and hypocritical. I have said this since day one and will continue to say it, and if it becomes a point of contention for you and you DONT have a job involving tourism in your title, let's talk about it: Florida's NOT a safe place to travel for any LGBTQ+ person. You only need to scratch the surface to discover why and there aren't many degrees of separation between an LGBTQ+ Floridian and someone who's been forced to flee the state because their rights and sanity are under immediate duress. I'm really losing my patience with asinine, gaslighting statements that attack other people that either FLED- not left- the state, or will not come here because of the political climate. Are we going to gatekeep the validity of safety now, too? PLEASE stop doing this nonsense.
