About

35 years + of Cyber experience gives you an interesting perspective on the Industry as a whole. Watching a repeating cycle evolution of an Industry is very intriguing. Cyber is not a mystery. It about knowing your own people, network, systems and information. Collecting the right data about all of that is the linchpin of cyber operations. What will we do for you then? I will help you understand that. I will help you improve your operations capability without destroying your budget. You will find we are different. Cyber does not have to be expensive, and we do not sponsor Formula One teams so we can keep it that way. I will: - Disrupt the norm, - Highlight bad practices that have been occurring, - Show you there is a better way to utilise your cyber spend, - Refer you to those that can help where I cannot. I will not: - Give you something you don't need, - Lie, - Look for new ways to take budget, - Fail.
