1st blog post for the new job!
Security Should Be the Path of Least Resistance
Security creates friction that frustrates developers and users, this can actually make systems less secure, when security is difficult, noisy, or just gets in the way, people bypass it.

What do you recommend as an alternative? I’ve tried Bing, DickDuckGo, Orion, Ecosia, and they all fail the basic task of ‘search’

Throughout my career I have fought to protect users, help orgs understand how attackers think, and build defenses that stop them.
If your team wants someone who can speak fluently in hacker circles and in boardroom, will call out nonsense and knows how to make security actually work
We should talk.
Stable.
I've decided to stop pussy footing around and I am now openly looking for my next challenge.

That is Global Network Operations, not Computer Network Operations. Slightly different organization that came later.
I really need an old logo for the Joint Task Force - Computer Network Operations (JTF-CNO) which was formed out of the JTF-CND in 2000 and later morphed into US Cyber Command. The original logo for this org seems to have disappeared from the Internet. Any help?
Right?

Space Rogue kneeling beside some kind of electrical junction box or something similar holding cables, he is wearing blue jeans and a black tshirt. The caption details how he wonders "whether hacktivism equals a 60s style sit-in, or is it just outright digital vandalism?"

Where is Fruity Rogue when you need him?
