Trying is the first step towards failure. You do it again and again and again until it becomes second nature.

It would be a huge mistake to keep thinking of China as the same cyber threat actor we were dealing with ten years ago. Let's talk about it.

See you on Thursday for a more in-depth discussion.

There's no straight roads to get into this career, and there are absolutely no straight roads when you get to this career. It just doesn't exist.

God I hate the fact that Threat + Hunting is being called "Thrunting." And we now have Threat + Hunters who are "Thrunters." This is all I can see when I see these terms...

I’m heading out for a few days with the crew from RECKAH Publishing.

In case you haven't heard about our new comic series, The Future Is******. It’s a wild blend of sci-fi, tech, and good storytelling.

If you’re in the area, I’d love for you to stop by, say hi, and talk shop for a bit.

Almost ready for SOC CORE Skills.

Remember this is a Pay-What-You-Can course.

Here’s the deal: you pay what works for you- whether that’s full price, a little, or nothing at all.

See you there.

We are going to cut them back at @wildwesthackinfest.bsky.social. They will still be an option, but not given to everyone.

We want the people who are interested to be able to do it. But giving it to everyone is a waste.
