Attackers have been developing their own hierarchies, their own industries and complex webs of mules and middlemen - their own CEOs.
Artificial Intelligence and big data, while beacons to a hopeful global economy also offer the deliverance of an entirely new and relentless loosely coupled e-machinery with which to pillage, plunder, hoard and exchange data-diamonds behind the invisible cloak of physics and engineering wizardry.
As security practitioners, we often catch ourselves asking "Where do we start?" and "When will this end?"
Thus we find ourselves on an infinite continuum where both the beginning and the end are not finite concepts. As one enters and works within different organizations, at times one can feel like an alchemist - sensing, measuring and intuiting the needs of the organization and balancing not just projects but perceptions, testing ideas, challenging opinions and manifesting strategy within the constraints of budget, time and attitude.
With the above said, this blog will supplement my new cyber-security YouTube Channel entitled "Paranoid Pawn" (Please subscribe to my channel and click the bell to receive notifications when I post future videos).
I hope my posts and videos will inspire thought, comments, correction, growth, input, outbursts and laughter.
In my first video of 2020 I introduce my channel focus and highlight the global cybersecurity workforce shortage. You can find it here:
Happy New Year 2020 everyone.
