You ever sit in one of those vendor-sponsored âthought leadershipâ panels and wonder, when does the real talk start? 
 
Yeahâme too. 
 
So I stopped showing up. And started joining private IT roundtables instead. No recordings. No selling. Just a handful of sharp, scarred-up tech leaders swapping war stories over coffee (or whiskey, depending on the breach). 
 
Let me tell youâthis is where the gold is. 
 
âWe hired a red teamâ¦ they got in through our interns.â 
âOur CEO clicked a phishing link from his yacht.â 
âWe killed 4 tools last quarter. Not a single tear.â 
 
Iâve been writing about these sessionsânot naming names, not burning bridgesâbut capturing what really matters. The strategies that work in the field, the ones that fall flat, and the quiet, unspoken truths most execs wonât admit on stage. 
 
Itâs not theory. Itâs survival. 
 
Youâll find everything from real-world zero trust implementation screw-upsâ¦ to how top CIOs are rethinking hybrid infrastructure (again)â¦ to why burnout is hitting CISOs harder than ransomware. 
 
This is the stuff that helps you lead sharper, fight smarter, and stay ahead of the chaos. 
 
No ads. 
No fluff. 
Just straight, unsanitized insight.
