I’m the unflinchingly optimistic graybeard, wandering in this cyber dystopia. InfoSec, cybersecurity, futurist, strategist, chaotic good. The views expressed are my own. Sometimes humorously.

No-AI and solid end-to-end encryption is the new tech hype.

If you don't invest heavily in solid end-to-end encryption, privacy-protective and No-AI features, you will be left behind. People might even laugh at you.

Tell everyone.

Them: “Let’s start with the CISO and their concerns.”

Me: Hi. I’m Wolf. I’m the CISO and I’m concerned about anything with electricity.

Several billion years ago a fish climbed onto a beach, and now I have to be at work on a Wednesday.

Bullshit.

"It is at parody across all clouds."

Vendor typo of the day. But then again? I, too, am a parody across the multi-cloud.

Securing Sexuality: the book. Tech now drives how we meet, date, marry, raise kids. Attacks on it undermines our agency and privacy. This book, written with @Tzefira_Neviah, helps therapist, coaches, and activists think like punk, act like a hacker, and take back control over our private lives. Coming soon.

@claushoumann I wish he had included contact information. But no. 
When I was a kid? I made a name for myself with the neighbors for doing odd jobs. Doing them well. I built up relationships and I built up a work ethic. And so they would refer me to friends or whomever. In a small part, made me who I am. And decades later? I wish I could give back.

My problem with apps is depersonalization. I don’t know who picks up my groceries, mows my lawn, or shares a ride. It is impossible to work with specific people on these apps.

A father left a card in an order the other day. He’s doing side work for his daughter. No way for me to request him again.

I know, I know. Different companies naming threat actor groups different things is confusing. I get it.
