Frankly Speaking 6/8/21 - Stop talking about zero-trust!

It seems like more in-person meetings are happening, but I’m finding that it’s hard and more inconvenient to schedule those, especially since I don’t know where people are located nowadays. I find myself defaulting to Zoom meetings just because it’s logistically easier. No need to worry about meeting and travel logistics! I am actually restricting my in-person meetings to meals and weekends, and it’s substantially increased my productivity. Of course, everything is best done in moderation.

Do you have any tips to weave in-person meetings into your day? or are you now weaving in Zoom meetings? I would love to hear your thoughts, so send me an email!

Ok, we need to have some real talk. There have been too many newcomers into the security industry, and now everything is becoming bastardized. In some way, I’m happy that cybersecurity is finally getting more attention, but as a result, there are way more people not knowing what they are talking about. It’s irritating and frustrating.

I guess that’s why I started this newsletter, partially inspired by Kelly Shortridge’s newsletter talking about the stupidity of certain VC fundings of cybersecurity companies. I blame VCs, especially since most of them don’t understand security and aren’t part of the ecosystem. They are adding fuel to a fire. Anyway, enough of this tangential but relevant rant.
