Foreword from our CEO

Foreword from our CEO:

It’s quite exciting to have the opportunity as the person to forward this newsletter. In my 22 years in the cyber security industry, it seems that the entire industry is being challenged like never before and is having to keep up with the relentless move to digital and increasing cyber attacks. It appears the social order of IT and cyber security professionals is rearranging itself before our eyes. It’s all very fascinating.

We have seen some unprecedented events in recent times, and I am not just talking about the COVID-19 pandemic. There have been seismic cyber attacks which have brought organisations and governments to their knees. During these times, I feel it is really important to discuss, debate and have an open dialogue on these life changing topics to help us learn, grow and build a better future.

“What The Hack?” is going to be narrating on the technical, social, and cultural changes within the security industry as they surface in our world. Think of this newsletter as a source of thought provoking titbits to use in protecting your estate, benchmarking against your peers, or increasing your awareness of the industry. It takes time to make your mark with your audience, but little by little we’re going to get to know each other well. For now, let’s just say I hope you enjoy “What The Hack?”
