Writing
Three books, a live cyber loss tracking index and dozens of authored pieces.
The writing comes from experience in the seat and researching the paradoxes and hidden truths in cybersecurity. From lighthearted stories about personal growth to the co-authoring of security standards and industry position papers, the focus is always on discovering truth and sharing it.

The index
The Hacker in a Hoodie Index
A wholly unique live public record of what individual cyber incidents actually cost. Every figure is read from the document that reported it and graded by how well it is attested. The figures are never summed into a total, because within that total are dollar amounts and types that can't simply be added together. Doing so would create a manufactured figure that reflects a loud headline number, but not the truth of the losses, who they impacted and how.
