Despite all the words that could have been chosen for the letter “H”, here it stands for: Holistic We use the word “holistic” semi-frequently in our industry, and there are several definitions. The two definitions I like best are both from the Cambridge Dictionary: dealing with or treating the whole of something or someone and not just a part: and the second, similar definition: relating to the whole of something or…
Hey there, it’s time for episode 107 of the UNSECURITY Podcast! Just when you think you can’t get any busier… You get busier. Maybe if I learned to say “no” a little more often. My dilemma is 1) mostly brought on by myself and 2) is a blessing. It’s better to be busy than to have nothing to do, especially when you’re helping people. I’m…
Governance How does the word “governance” make you feel? In full transparency, the word makes me edgy and disturbed. I really don’t like the word “governance”. Maybe you’re a like me, and “governance” gives you a case of the heebie-jeebies. What about this word makes us feel this way?

Before we get too far, I want to call your attention to an article I wrote last week titled “Good People Didn’t Vote For Your Guy“. Healing and unity are long overdue in our country. I’m hoping we will find our way back to being countrymen/women working together…
Despite how much I’d like to use “F” for something else: What the ____ are you doing?! ____ you! Who the ____ told you to do that?! Why the ____ do I bother? I’ll fight the urge and use “F” in a more decent manner, even if it is a little less honest. So why does “F” stand for Fundamentals? For starters, fundamentals are critical….
Happy Tuesday (again)! There are always 100s of things to talk about each week, and if you’re ADHD like me, you know how hard it can be to stay focused on one thing for too long! Here are a few things that are top of mind right now: Security ABCs: “A” is for Accountability “B” is for Business “C” is for Cybersecurity “D” is for…
There are lots of relevant information security words that start with “E”, but I’m going with “Everyone”. Why? Three primary reasons: Information security (good or bad) affects everyone.
