How to Save 2025?
•
3 min read
I just walked out of Infosec Europe. Half the stands were empty. The other half were staffed by marketers. Steers. Someone doing a card trick in the middle of the aisle. People were pitching product like it’s still 2018. It’s not. Budgets are frozen. Buyers are cautious. The general economy is running on fumes. But…

My Take on the MCP
•
3 min read
Apparently MCP is like a universal translator between your AI model and the real world. The model knows what to talk. But it doesn’t know how to talk to. MCP fixes that. An MCP server is a lightweight program that sits between your LLM and your tools. Like a smart plug adapter. It lets the…

Quantum computing isn’t science fiction anymore. It’s not breaking RSA today, but buyers are asking about it. Especially the ones with long term data sensitivity and compliance exposure. That’s your opening. Not to sell hype. To sell preparation. If you’re a vendor in the security space, “post quantum ready” can be a differentiator, if you…

Everyone’s excited about AI features, until finance steps in. Then it’s, “Who approved this API usage?” and “Why is our LLM spend outpacing our customer growth?” I’ve seen this movie before. AI pricing is the new proxy for how grown up your ops team is. Gartner is right to flag the chaos. But here’s the…

Remarkable gets talked about.” That one stuck with me. And not just as a quote to toss on a slide deck. I actually changed things because of it. Here’s…

I’ve seen this exact scenario in startups. The support team’s crushing tickets. Sales is chasing quota. Devs are sprinting toward the next release. And yet, somehow revenue’s flat, morale’s dipping, and no one knows why. It’s not about laziness. It’s not incompetence. It’s focus. Too much focus. That image? It’s what happens when everyone stays in their…

Key Points Introduction to Quantum Safe DNS Quantum computing is advancing rapidly, and with it comes a threat to the encryption methods that secure the Domain Name System (DNS). DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) currently use public key cryptography, like RSA and ECDSA, to ensure domain name resolutions are authentic. However, quantum computers could break these…

Security trials can drag. What starts as a 14 day PoC turns into six weeks of silence, endless questions, and no clear decision. The fix? Don’t just run trials, instrument them. Let usage and proof-of-concept metrics do the talking. Track Engagement from Day One Start by measuring what matters: If three users log in once…

“We built a brilliant product, but no one bought it.” A familiar refrain in cybersecurity startups. Vendors are masters of the acronym; DNS, IAM, EDR, DDR — but often fail to agree internally on who their buyer is, what problem they solve, or how to tell that story. This isn’t a minor oversight. Misaligned GTM…
