Went to the first #csides in Weston Super Mare, and it was fantastic. A really good collection of speakers and attendees, a fantastic venue - including a free go on the rides - and an overall great vibe. More of this please, especially in seaside towns in the later months! #defendtogether

Early start and out west for CSIDES today.

I'll admit I found this event by scrolling through Eventbrite and just decided to buy a ticket, speaker line up does look great - and any chance for this Sussex boy to see the sea again (admittedly it's quite far away currently).

Today's office, looking forward to presenting at the #magnetforensics event here today on 'why does the media love a cyber crisis?'

I could deny, but I'll never realise. I'm just chasing rainbows (over Excel and #infosec2025) all the time.

@rikferguson.com kicks off the afternoon of #infosec2025 talking about 30 years of Infosec, the differences from 1995 in computing, trustworthy memo and malware "the only thing we could do was disconnect everything to get some breathing space."

Scarborough, Ontario. It's colder than it looks.

This morning's dilemma in one screenshot. Enter mobile number as normal, rejected. Enter with space, rejected. Enter with 44 instead of 0, rejected. Enter with +44, rejected. Every format, rejected.

A pleasure to attend the Cyber Leaders Challenge this afternoon, second time at the BT Tower (and first time in daylight). After my first Cyber Security Challenge legacy article was so well received, this will form part of the series on where that level of gamification goes next.

This morning at the UK Cyber Security Council conference, themed on "the journey to professionalisation."

First time dealing with this company, and waiting to hear how we are/are not/on the way to being more professional - look for updates later.

Also is this a bad spot for a headshot photo?

Opening morning at Threatlocker #ztw25 in Orlando. The addition of tables in the keynote/main stage is very welcome.

First press trip of the year done, thanks to Check Point for another #cpx invitation. Vienna was cold, but spectacular.

Also at the tail end of a bad cold, so going for some lockdown chic on this flight.

As per earlier post, my first BSides London in 9 years and it was absolutely fantastic.

Spent most of the day in the Rookie Track, got to main tracks and most of the villages, and caught up with former #onetenable colleagues in the sponsor room.

Great to see so many familiar faces too (1/2).

At BSides London for the first time in 9 years - and delighted that the 10 year old t-shirt still fits.

Nice to have a festive entrance for an event - today at SANS #cyberthreat
