Humanity is not as far removed from trading three chickens for a sack of flour as we would like to believe. The international economy works because everyone has agreed, more or less, that some amount in one currency is worth some other amount in a different currency. Central banks from the USA, UK, EU, Japan,…

Houston, security has a branding problem. People hate us. We’re the no people. The people that hold up procurement. The people that ask nosy questions. The people that spend money. How do we change the vibe? Marketing offers us a path forward. There’s two groups – the P’s and the C’s – with four points…

Finally, a class with a familiar subject: analyzing data. The methods were kept fairly high level, as this was a class for business students, not engineering students. I certainly appreciated that, as I only passed engineering statistics with the help of my now-late ex-husband. The tools were kept to the ubiquitous accessible Excel, with the…

Well, job hunting has certainly changed in the past few years. On the surface, an AI-powered recruiting pipeline makes sense. Given a job description, have ChatGPT rack and stack the candidate’s resumes. It’s an easy way to direct the more value human time and add value to a hard process. In 26 days, I applied…

Hack To The Future: How World Governments Relentlessly Pursue and Domesticate Hackers Overall: Should be required reading for anyone in the field. I’ve followed Hacking History for some time, and I preordered this book months ago. It does not disappoint. It reads like a political thriller … except it’s all true. I’m a big fan…

I really didn’t know what to expect from a class titled “Strategy Formation and Organizational Design”. There wasn’t even a textbook. Instead, we had a course pack of articles from the Harvard Business Review. I ended up liking this setup, not least because it was a solid $100 cheaper than a textbook. My biggest lesson…

Overall: Excellent reference! Reading and understanding the theory behind lock-picking is no substitute for practicing. I picked up No Starch’s Locksport book at BSides Seattle, directly from one of the authors. Matt and the technical reviewer, Peter, were kind enough to sign my copy! The organization is excellent, and it’s easy to find what you’re…

Well, I survived my only Accounting class. I received a phone call prior to the class, warning me that this class might require more than the advertised 20 hours of work a week. I would say I spent about 15 hours of time per week, but math is a strong area for me. Since we…

This is another failure turned opportunity. I originally submitted this as a conference talk. That talk was rejected, but I was offered a webinar instead. Then I saw a call for a similar topic in another forum, so out of the one rejection, I gave the talk twice. The good news for my schedule was…

I am an interloper. This isn’t an imposter syndrome thing. I’m an engineer in business school. Specifically, an MBA program. I weighed my options before I applied. I’ve already had a lot of formal schooling, last graduating a full decade ago with a technical master’s degree. Future promotions at my organization require a graduate degree,…
