First of all, I need to clarify something. Like many people, I use the term AI all the time. But what I’m really referring to is machine learning. Machines that learn. And the more I think about it, the more I believe machine learning belongs in the same category as operating systems, web browsers, and […]
Is social media really a platform to deliver your message to your audience? I hope the answer is yes. That is what we have been told. You create an account, build an audience, post your thoughts, and the platform helps your message reach the people who are interested in it. The reality is different! Social […]
The new obsession This feels like the beginning of a new religion. ChatGPT arrives, and suddenly everyone believes they’ve found the cure for everything. Every question, every confusion, every gap in understanding, now delegated to a chatbot. The same pattern repeats: a new tool, a new promise, a new exhaustion. People forget that every tool […]
Most management failures come back to one thing: the manager does not know what resources they actually have, and they have no technique for finding out. So they guess. They pick a deadline because of pressure from above, or because it sounds reasonable in a meeting room, or because they simply do not know what […]
There is a question that has been on my mind for a long time. Why is most management today so ineffective? Why do the things they say sound more like a wish list than a plan? I am not talking about every manager in every industry. I have seen exceptions. But the pattern I have […]
The Industry Loves Complexity Cyber security has a strange habit. Every year, more layers. More dashboards. More integrations. More moving parts…and somehow, more insecurity. Decades of experience showed me something simple: Complex solutions either fail, or create new attack surface while pretending to reduce it. That is the irony of modern security. We secure complexity […]
The myth of the self‑running system Every year, the industry repeats the same fantasy: buy the right tool, and the work will magically disappear. But tools do not create plans. Tools do not define objectives. Tools do not understand your environment, your risks, or your deadlines. A tool can automate a task. It cannot replace […]
a new label doesn’t create a new capability.” know what you actually need most people start with vendors before they start with themselves. that is the first mistake. if you don’t know what problem you are solving, every vendor suddenly looks “perfect”. it’s like walking into a hardware store without knowing if you need a […]
well, I actually changed the second part sarcastically, this is the original version: I am not the technical person but I really must sell you something today, can I connect you to another person in my company, an engineer perhaps? you know, we have a very great product but I am just lacking understanding what […]
most security solutions are like traditional painkillers, we certainly feel better after talking them, but the root cause of pain remains intact and unresolved! as long as we do not address root cause of security incidents and vulnerabilities, we will be feeling better from short-term pain relief of “Security Solutions” and then suffering again soon […]
I was shocked when I heard from a “security professional” that using dark web as means understanding cyber threats has been Just Recently been discovered by them as an effective defense mechanism! no kidding! then why we are surprised we get hacked by the most trivial TTP out there? this is very disappointing that “security […]
any solution 100% focused on endpoint protection would not actually protect you from cyber threats. best case scenario, you will discover IoC (not even necessary IoA) after the fact, after a system has actually been compromised. the easiest way to confirm this is what is happening everyday in companies with sophisticated but pure endpoint detection […]
