Happy to announce that I took a board position (thanks @edskoudis) to SANS Technology Institute (college degree programs).
I'm truly excited here as it fits right in to my passion of helping the next generation of cybersecurity folks get into the industry.
Amazing mission reaching our youth, and impacting the next generation of hackers.
I'm also on the board of Paradigm Cyber Ventures which focuses on K-12 cybersecurity hands-on courses in the high school level and we sponsor and fund many high school cybersecurity programs.
Make the world a better place.

Today marks a huge day for #BinaryDefense and truthfully for the industry. This is what I've been working on the past 9 months of my life, putting in 80 hours a week - because I had to.
This isn't an AI marketing campaign that promises the world - it's built from the ground up on our own trained models (not using third parties) and drastically changes our ability to respond to threats super fast, reduce MTTR, and provide insanely quick response times for customers.
Trains off of our analyst behavior and gets smarter with every ticket, escalation, response. Proactively looks at all trends across customers and bubbles up threat hunts or areas it hasn't seen before.
AI-Assisted threat hunting based on data ingest, ability to go through realtime analysis immediately. Sandbox detonation, full learning off of any type of data structure (universal log parsing), evaluator models to check consistency, confidence, and more - agentic capabilities to pull back data for higher confidence boosting, ensemble scoring for multi-model support.
Automatic playbook creation specific and dynamic to the event at hand to contain.
Directly integrates into our SOAR with enriched data for our analysts to triage immediately.
This completely changes the game out there, it's actually something that works and is really really good at what it does, and gets smarter every second. It's a force multiplier for our team, we remain human-driven, human led - and because of that - we have one of the best products out there today in the industry.
I'm so proud of the team at Binary Defense, some of the most brilliant minds in the industry - 9 months worth of my life here comes to a reality today.

#BinaryDefense
Cyberattacks move at machine speed.
Security operations were never meant to fight them alone.
Adversaries move in minutes.
Alerts arrive in thousands.
That gap is exactly why we built NightBeacon.

Congrats to @MissouriState for winning MO (by a lot) and representing Missouri at the Midwest regionals for @NationalCCDC. The team from @DruryUniversity will go on to the wildcard round and try to make it through to have two teams from Missouri represented at regionals.

@HackingDave, @d0rkph0enix, @TimMedin, @jeffmcjunkin and others of like mind… What should higher Ed be teaching re: AI for future cybersecurity folks (at all levels)? RT for reach please.

This story is wild
Chinese state-backed hackers hijacked Claude Code to run one of the first AI-orchestrated cyber-espionage
Using autonomous agents to infiltrate ~30 global companies, banks, manufacturers and government networks🤯

What they said.
I've got students messaging me asking if cybersecurity is still a "safe" field to go into because of the advancements of AI
Dawg, our career value has fucking EXPLODED. Are you fuckin' with me right now?
- AI vibe coded slop as far as the eye can see
- AI deep fakes as far as the eye can see
- AI written emails, scams, as far as the eye can see
On top of that, due to how accessible the internet is now, there is a "cyber attack" literally every god damn second. It's nonstop. The internet is still very much the wild, wild, west.
Like, bro, this shitty little malware website I run brings in 20,000+ malwares a day with a budget of $15, a slice of pizza, and cat pictures. Do you have any fucking clue how widespread cybercrime is?
Don't even fucking start me on crypto theft
I'll lose my mind writing this post, bro. It's literally nonstop, around the clock, weekends and holidays. It never ends. Cybersecurity is only getting bigger.

Statement by President George W. Bush:
"Today, a young man was murdered in cold blood while expressing his political views. It happened on a college campus, where the open exchange of opposing ideas should be sacrosanct. Violence and vitriol must be purged from the public square. Members of other political parties are not our enemies; they are our fellow citizens. May God bless Charlie Kirk and his family, and may God guide America toward civility."

We should all feel a deep sense of grief and outrage at the terrible violence that took place in Utah today. Charlie Kirk's murder is sick and reprehensible, and our thoughts are with his family, children, and loved ones.
I knew Charlie, and I admired his passion and commitment to debate. His senseless murder is a reminder of how important it is for all of us, across the political spectrum, to foster genuine discourse on issues that deeply affect us all without resorting to political violence.
The best way to honor Charlie's memory is to continue his work: engage with each other, across ideology, through spirited discourse. In a democracy, ideas are tested through words and good-faith debate — never through violence.
Honest disagreement makes us stronger; violence only drives us further apart and corrodes the values at the heart of this nation.
Shannon McMurtrey retweeted
We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.
Well it was fun while it lasted.
