Topics
AI Security
What actually goes wrong when organizations adopt AI: prompt injection, data poisoning, and the governance gaps in between. Practical guidance, minus the hype cycle.
Fundamentals
The boring bedrock: identity, least privilege, zero trust, patching. The concepts every other security decision quietly depends on.
Leadership & GRC
Governance, risk, and compliance for people who have to make it work in a real organization: budgets, boards, risk appetite, and saying no gracefully.
Threats & Incidents
How attacks actually unfold (phishing, ransomware, the unglamorous rest) and how to respond without theatrics.
Tooling
SIEM, EDR, and the rest of the acronym soup: what the tools do, what they cost you in attention, and when you genuinely need them.
