November 27, 2024: OP-ED: Awareness training needs to be rethought

This week's OP-ED refers to this post I made on Linkedin (https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7267172616346505217/). This had to do with a research study that showed the current methods associated with awareness training just aren't working, so I am trying to develop a new way.

November 22, 2024 - Friday OP-ED: Information Sharing - WE CAN DO BETTER!

In this Friday's OP-ED, I talk about a topic near and dear to my heart: Incident information/Intelligence sharing. We do it poorly in the cyber world.  Can't we please try to do it better.
Would love to hear other thoughts on this.
Give a listen, tell a friend.
