About

Professionally, I am best known for pioneering the vCISO (virtual Chief Information Security Officer) concept and subsequently popularizing it. My two published books are the Cybercannon inclusion Why CISOs Fail (2017, 2nd Ed. 2024) and The Security Hippie (2022).

My debut novel, The Crack in the Crystal, is out now; it became an Amazon best seller on its launch day.
