"Maximum efficiency, minimum effort"
$ _
On the Craftsman
For over two decades, I have walked the corridors between the ancient arts of strategy and the electric frontiers of cyberspace. As a Distinguished Cybersecurity Innovator at AT&T and Principal at ISSQUARED, I architect defenses that would make castle builders envious.
Former CISO at Warner Bros. Entertainment and Amgen, IANS Faculty member, and author of "The Cybersecurity Manager's Guide" published by O'Reilly. My philosophy draws from the martial art of Judo: using an adversary's force against them, finding maximum efficiency with minimum effort.

“ Every photograph is a moment of transitive trust between the observer and the observed. ”
