I carry with me the strong belief that we, as #InfoSec professionals, can help the #business define the #systems, #applications, #workflows, and more BEFORE they are designed and implemented to reduce the risk of exposure in the first place as opposed to trying to patch our way to safety afterward and burning out the security operations team as they attempt to block and tackle and pick up the pieces when it all hits the fan. Just sayin'...
What if your cybersecurity assessments could actually keep up with attackers?
In our latest episode, we speak with Michael Moore about how dynamic, threat-adaptive assurance helps teams align with current risks—while simplifying ops and improving trust.

Working on a piece about AI agents in cyber — not the “replace humans” kind, but the ones helping real teams triage, prep, and prioritize before taking action. Like digital first responders.
Looking for non-promotional stories from orgs doing more, faster, with fewer people — esp. customer or partner examples. Think: lightweight AI helping teams get ahead of threats.
If you’ve got a real-world example or quote to share, DM me. Would love to include it.
There’s a reason GRC programs stall—there's also a smarter way to make them work. Sean Martin, CISSP and Marco Ciappelli caught up with Steve Schlarman from Archer Integrated Risk Management to talk about rethinking the value of risk and compliance. From real-world use cases to tech that doesn’t frustrate users, this one’s for anyone trying to build a program that actually works.

"This synthesizer is the world's first programmable music synthesizer. The first piece of electronic music to win the Pulitzer Prize was made on it. Basically a two voice synthesizer with tone generation and composing in the left hand side and processing on the right hand side, including manual binary for the ordering of the effects processes. Which, for its time, essentially like a Turing computer, was one and a half tons, seven feet tall, 14 feet wide — it's quite a behemoth, but now it's a very large paperweight."
—Seth Cluett, Director, Computer Music Center and Lecturer in Computer Music & Sound Studies at Columbia University
