Those of you who have known me for any length of time will know that I publish a series of newsletters on a range of security topics weekly. That’s my way of giving back to the community and of keeping up with the massive expansion of the field of security management as a CISO. Since 1998 (back when I was in Geneva) I have been sharing this information. I suppose I was one of the very first people to create what we might now call a website publishing engine; I’ve been doing it since.
I don’t charge for this, and I don’t know if I would call it a work of love, but it is definitely a financial investment for me.
A side benefit for me is that I end up with a massive database of news articles I have collected over the years. I also use it for trend analysis and research. This is, I think, a “work of love,” but one of the key things that keeps me going is hearing from people that they find it useful and subscribe.
The Concept
The newsletters provide a fast way to see what happened last week and get an overview of what is top of mind. They include direct links to all the referenced articles without me tracking what you are looking at. I don’t monetize any of your data.
The structure:
- Weekly Summarization
- What I’m Watching
- Articles, grouped together based on the subject area with a summary and a link
- And Call to Actions.
I will apologize now since sometimes the newsletters get long (but that’s why you probably have an AI agent summarizing your emails – 🙂 )
So my ask is that if you are interested, please subscribe to areas that interest you, and provide feedback.
