In 2022 I wrote the 2023 Cybersecurity Anti-Predictions. Let's revisit that list with the 2026 Cybersecurity Anti-Predictions. There is good and bad news on the horizon.

@sluggodoug.bsky.social thanks for
playing Def Con One on Party 360 this past weekend. I love that song. In the early 1990s when I was in college I would beg the DJ at the Fineline in Tucson, AZ to play it. The video is hilariously low rent but fun as well. youtu.be/Xef60FAN6Vk?...

As a startup, nobody trusts you. Why should they? Your competitors have more of everything (money, customers, brand recognition, etc.) This is the Wall of Buyer Skepticism, and you can sneak right past it with curiosity and credibility. Find out how in my new blog.

We finally have a good image of the drones flying over New Jersey. It seems they are looking for some kind of rebel base, or maybe some scruffy looking Nerf herders. Regardless, Trump has issued a statement saying Lord Vader can "do whatever the hell he wants." #starwars #nerfherders #lukeskywalker

The last place in the world I would want to be right now is selling to the federal government or companies that work with the federal government. All those FedRAMP, CMMC, or DoD SRG providers should start pivoting - now. Find some commercial business and find it fast.
