The more I learn about threat modeling, the more I think the toughest part is how we answer the question: “What can go wrong?” Perhaps that’s “finding threats.” Maybe it’s “discovering” or “eliciting” them. Maybe it’s analogizing from threats we know about. I’m not yet even sure what to call it.

I have a visceral reaction every time I encounter yet another article bemoaning the so-called "talent gap" or "labor gap" in cybersecurity. Having been in and out of the job market several times over the past decade (for better and, more often, for worse), I can honestly say this is utter nonsense. The roots of this clamor began more than a decade ago in DC as federal agencies grappled with modernizing, making use of the annual Sept/Oct budget season to decry how poor and helpless they were in o

When it comes to personal data privacy, it can be hard to see the forest for the trees. Headlines and social media are dominated by data breaches, resulting in both reputational and financial loss.
