One of the best things about working in cybersecurity is that it's always changing. There are always new things to learn and think about. Here are some of the areas of security that I'm thinking about the most right now:Securing the digital supply chainThe evolution of cloud-native securityInternet of Things (IoT) securityThe human element of securitySecuring web3 and blockchainI'll take them one by one this week and share some quick thoughts on why I think they're interes...
Poor man’s Gong
If you’re someone who works with me, you may have noticed that I ask to record our Zoom calls more often than I used to. There’s a reason for this. While I can’t justify the cost of a revenue intelligence platform like Gong for my small shop, I made up my own poor man’s version. Here’s how it works.Download and install Descript. (There’s a free version.)Hit the record button on a Zoom call and pick the “Record on this computer” option.After the Zoom call ends, drag the video file that Zoom sp...
Don’t know much about NISTory
I feel your judgment. But let’s see you come up with a better subject line that ties in NIST Special Publication 800-207. This bad boy is the polar opposite of the “ducks and bunnies” version of Zero Trust. Weighing in at exactly 50 pages, it’s not for the faint of heart. But I think it’s a really impressive and helpful document – both for security buyers and vendors. The good news: Unlike pretty much anything else out there, it actually goes deep on explaining what “doing Zero Trust” actuall...

OK, now that the marketing guy explained what Zero Trust is, let’s get into some ways to give security buyers a plan for it (that hopefully includes some of you).
There’s a real danger that this could get boring in a hurry, so here’s what I’m thinking.
Over the next few days, I’ll give you my quick take on what I like and don’t like about the three possible starting points I mentioned. I’m not going to regurgitate every detail, but I’ll try to give you the gist.
Then, I’m going to make up a fictitious security startup that has a decent (but not great) Zero Trust value proposition.
Then, I’m going to pretend you’re a security buyer and send you a series of emails to see if I can become your guide.
So, to summarize:
Blinkist for boring Zero Trust papers.
Fake sales emails from a company that doesn’t exist.
Why haven’t you unsubscribed yet?
