Hi! I'm Alan. Professionally, I'm both a business generalist, and a specialist in a number of subject domains (e.g. GRC, InfoSec, BCP, ICT, HR).
I've worked across industries, sectors, and locations around the world in-person and remote!
All the professional stuff about me is at:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/alaneyue/
I live in San Francisco, am from South Florida, and have also lived in Orlando, Dallas, Austin, and Honolulu.
I live a purpose driven life seeking to serve and make a positive difference in the lives of others because I don't know how long I have.
Because, in 1984 I learned I had HIV and thought I had about a year.
Well, I'm still here, still don't know how long I have, and still am driven to serve others.
My life is not about me, and I'm grateful for that.
I'm intense.
I'm FUN too.
I love travel for work or play! I'm not a tourist, but rather an adventurer. I'd rather the milonga than a "tango show".
Moar 2 come!
What is certain is that there is uncertainty...especially with critical infrastructure "Operational Technology" (OT). I foresee stronger demand for OT Cybersecurity in 2026 and beyond.
Here's a great article from @hacks4pancakes to help you to explore this vital career path within cybersecurity!

Nothing to worry about Dear Citizen. If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.

Checklist for Protecting Content from AI Webcrawlers
1. Basic Preventive Steps (Easy, Low Effort)
Robots.txt file: Add directives like User-agent: * Disallow: / or specific AI bot blocks (e.g., User-agent: GPTBot).
Meta tags: Insert <meta name="robots" content="noai, notrain"> in your site’s HTML.
Copyright notice: Place a visible copyright line on your content.
2. Intermediate Safeguards (Moderate Effort)
Rate limiting & bot detection: Use services like Cloudflare or reCAPTCHA to detect/block unusual scraping patterns.
Invisible watermarks:
For text → subtle misspellings, metadata, or Unicode markers.
For images/audio/video → steganographic watermarks that don’t affect normal use.
Canary phrases: Insert harmless but unique markers (e.g., “AuthoredBy_Alice2025”) so if it shows up in a model, you know your data was ingested.
3. Advanced Legal & Technical Protections
Terms of Service (ToS): Explicitly forbid scraping or AI training use of your content.
Licensing banners: Display notices like “Not licensed for AI model training.”
Content provenance tools (C2PA / CAI): Embed cryptographic authorship data in your files.
4. Emerging / Community-Level Defenses
Opt-out registries: Join efforts (when available) that signal “do not crawl/do not train” at a broader level.
Collective blocks: Join with other creators/publishers to block AI-specific crawlers at the server/network level.
Legal monitoring: Stay aware of new regulations (e.g., EU AI Act) that may strengthen your rights.

TL;DR: Digital Asset security in the Web3 ecosystem is presented with new challenges and requires new responses. Still, fundamental standardized "Web2" information security governance, risk, and compliance practices/hygiene are necessary prerequisites. MITRE Corporation has developed and published the MITRE AADAPT framework for understanding the emerging threatscape specific to the Digital Asset ecosystem.
