Me and my job

I had worked first in physical security and then in law enforcement since I was 18 years-old. But I got tired of getting shot at, literally. So I decided to do something more sedate. I worked on officers' computers. I went into a computer helpdesk role back in 2000. I had the joy of finding out that you could do computers and security and I have never looked back.

Be careful what you measure

Be careful what you measure

Quality-assurance audits are a bit like visits to the dentist; you know you need them, and that they will do you good, but that doesn't make the day itself any more fun. A recent audit I was involved in brought with it the usual flurry of activity to close off outstanding actions and generate the relevant reports.

Cast the runes to assess future risk

Cast the runes to assess future risk

As a keen future-gazer, I'm often asked how I justify spending time on all this crystal-ball nonsense. Surely it can't be relevant to my day-to-day work? And clearly it's impossible to predict the future.
