When Are You Ready For Agentic AI Security?

Agentic AI // Artificial Intelligence // Controversial // Security Fundamentals // Security Tools // Vulnerabilities // February 2, 2025

The Excitement Is Premature Everyone wants agentic AI in security. Autonomous actions. Self-healing systems. Machines making decisions… Sounds efficient. Sounds inevitable. But are you ready? Or are you just tired of doing the work yourself? “Automation without understanding is just faster confusion.” The Missing Foundation It may sound strange, but if you have never experienced […]

What is your background in Computer Security?

Coding // Controversial // Security Fundamentals // Security Myths // January 11, 2025

Can you be a cybersecurity professional just because you are passionate about it or overnight got a certificate? Real quick answer: NO, not at all! That is actually one of the main reasons behind hackers being always ahead of the security community. I hear people in this industry, well, I should say in this commercial […]

Agentic AI vs. AI agent: why the confusion will cost you

Artificial Intelligence // Security Governence // Security Solutions // Security Tools // December 28, 2024

You probably think they are the same thing. They are not. And if you are a security practitioner or a strategic thinker, the difference is not academic, it is operational. What most people get wrong An AI agent is a component. It is a model that perceives input and produces output. Think of it as […]

AI Stuff

Artificial Intelligence // Controversial // Machine Learning // Technology // December 24, 2024

…Generations have already lost their Appetite to Learn, to Explore, and to Cherish the Beauty of Science and True Knowledge, let alone Pursuing Wisdom… First of all, I think we excessively use the term “AI” irrelevantly; most of the time, I mean the term “artificial intelligence” is being overly used in a way that is […]

Essential Algorithms: A Practical Approach to Computer Algorithms Using Python and C#

Artificial Intelligence // Coding // Machine Learning // October 21, 2024

Essential AlgorithmsA Practical Approach to Computer Algorithms Using Python and C#by Stephens, Rod This book resonated deeply with me—especially the chapter on Sorting, which brought back memories of my first real challenge in assembly language programming. I had to sort millions of records using various algorithms to find the fastest one, and that experience shaped […]

The Art of Machine Learning: A Hands-On Guide to Machine Learning with R

Machine Learning // October 16, 2024

The Art of Machine Learning: A Hands-On Guide to Machine Learning with Rby Norman Matloff (Author) I have a strong opinion about this book, and obviously it did not meet my expectations. I am just going to highlights several key areas where I believe the book falls short, including the lack of relevant information, disorganized […]

Overwhelmed security pros, unhappy and struggling, face a single havoc-wreaking hacker.

Who do you think is going to be the winner, the hacker or the security practitioner?

Controversial // Security Myths // October 9, 2024

Who do you think is going to be the winner, the hacker or the security practitioner? This question is in the same ballpark as: Do we need more cybersecurity professionals who are getting more and more certifications? Then why are we just getting weaker compared to the hacker’s community? For example, is the ability to […]

Starting the Sequence‑Modeling Experiment

Artificial Intelligence // Coding // Machine Learning // Security Tools // October 4, 2024

Why I’m Beginning This Project Right now, in October 2024, I’m launching a research project built around a simple but provocative question: Can network behavior be modeled the same way we model language? Not as static events. Not as signatures. But as sequences with structure, grammar, and predictability. Network traffic has patterns. It has transitions. […]

What really matters // July 1, 2024

Who is truly the biggest spammer: the bad actors or those who don’t appear to be bad actors?

Who is the biggest spammer?

Controversial // Privacy // October 24, 2023

It is certainly nothing new that those labeling their spamming activity as ‘email marketing’ have no idea what real email marketing looks like, but that is not the point of this short article. I have been closely observing that so-called ‘security companies’ are generating most of the junk email traffic. It is ironic that companies […]

Doctoring Data by Dr. Malcolm Kendrick

Doctoring Data: How to sort out medical advice from medical nonsense

Controversial // Data // August 27, 2023

That’s the name of a book: *Doctoring Data* by Dr. Malcolm Kendrick. It teaches you how to spot misleading medical claims and understand the tricks used in health research and media. But you could easily generalize it to all kinds of data. The mindset is there — the idea — and you can definitely see […]
