Security person sometimes doing security things.

Turns out the security things succeed or fail because of people and their ability and willingness to do the things.

Been busy the last decade in fintech and supply chain of semiconductor secure elements and all the stuff around that.

Love tech, don't like the apocalyptic social and political environment we've somehow managed to create with it.

Otherwise, cooking for friends and family, travelling and meeting new people, reading books and making software.

In case you haven’t seen it, this spreadsheet of infosec Mastodon addresses is pretty great. Not sure how up to date it is, but it’s definitely adding to my follow list. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1t13k5_cNhP9_TgoUmqDZk2ROkWkF6Bg3O5269vKIqWw/edit

Fine, fine. I'll do this year's training my damned self.

Hello, and welcome to your company's oh-so-very-shitty Security Awareness Training. I'm Chief Cloud Economist Corey Quinn of the Duckbill Group, today I'm your Acting CISO while your actual CISO is out finding which bars are open at 9:30 in the morning, and I'll be delivering this training for you because I was absolutely NOT the lowest bidder.

Thread begins here...
