I’ve been at this blog for almost 19 years. Are you sure it’s still me writing these posts? Did I disappear and just leave it on autopilot to write posts for me long after I’m gone?
Are you sure you would know if I did?
Not everything is as it appears. We could all use a lot more skepticism, especially on topics we are already biased to believe.
The results speak for themselves. “The report, based on anonymised data from real organisations that have had their networks tested, said that for 71% of companies, there’s at least one obvious weakness that could provide malicious outsiders with entry into the network.” I’ll save you the click, but you should go look at the details,…
My initial reaction to the headline was “Great, what chance do the rest of us have of not getting hacked if SANS can get hacked?” But, like Sharon, I think this is really great: “This is the part I really like. To make this an educational opportunity, SANS says that it will host a webcast…

I think the article is helpful, but this one is the one that I suspect many mangers struggle with. “Model healthy behaviors. Don’t just say you support mental health.
