    AI Is Not A Rice Cooker: Kona Grit And The Best Security Language

    AI is not a rice cooker, you can’t just set and forget it. I unpack the NIST Cyber AI Profile and its “Secure, Defend, Thwart” pillars, tracing the line between the lava fields of Kona and the endurance required for intelligent defence.

    Mastering the Stance Switch: AI Strategy for Success

    In 2026, being an AI leader isn’t just about speed, it’s about the ‘Stance Switch.’ Most organisations are stuck in an ‘offence-only’ position, leaving their strategic chin exposed to regulatory and ethical counter-punches. Discover why weaponising your agility through AI frameworks like ISO/IEC 42001 is the ultimate competitive advantage for the modern boardroom

    Threats and Vulnerabilities: Go the Distance

    There’s a cliché which I’m sure even aliens have heard; ‘Life is a marathon, not a sprint’ I’d like to propose an alternative, life is, in fact an ultramarathon. Period. Allow me to explain. I recently completed another ultramarathon, my first at the 100 mile distance. On reflection, it was a micro-study into how I…

    Pulp Friction: How Innovation Makes Us Vulnerable to Threats

    An experienced martial arts coach told me that many people quit as soon as learning gets uncomfortable, but those who check their ego at the door and lean into a beginner’s mindset usually stay.

    Minority Report and Immovable Objects

    Where I live, the weather has finally settled into an Autumn rhythm. Autumn brings blistering blue skies by day and chill, crystal-clear nights. Some days are grey and quiet, with overcast evenings delivering beautiful neon sunsets through the clouds. This is my favourite time of year. Autumn fills my chest with awe – there’s something…

    Why the L-step could be your secret weapon

    Regardless of the domain, I think the L-step is an important tool as it opens up new possibilities. You can leverage the L-step to literally circle and evade your opponent and it simultaneously provides an opportunity to take some breaths and see new vulnerabilities to exploit. It’s dynamic and fluid, and it feels nice to…

    The Creative Connection: Jazz, Culture, and Cybersecurity

    Yussef Dayes is a British drummer and composer, who makes music which moves me. He recently released a short documentary, Yussef Dayes In Japan (Film) 富士山. I’ve loved jazz since I was in my early teens. It began with Billie Holiday and expanded over the years. Something about the modern crop of jazz artists like…

    Calm as a Closing Chapter

    In that time a few years ago, when everything was a little upside down and the Mr. and I could only go out for an hour at a time, couldn’t go into the pharmacy together, and had to wear masks everywhere—we discovered a yoga teacher named Travis Elliot. Well, I rediscovered him, as I had…
