  • Business Process Maps are Boring

    I recently wrote this piece for ISACA on business process maps. Clearly, this is tongue in cheek – there are a lot of benefits to building a map of business processes and for a security professional, these maps can become the basis of lots of security and risk reporting.

  • Cyber Insurance Market Analysis

    I wrote this piece as an analysis of what Marsh is experiencing in the marketplace. I wanted to have a cyber risk analyst’s take on the same data and to see where we could learn from their analysis and apply that in our practice. One edit, it looks like I made a typo. The line…
