Throughout my two decades in cybersecurity, I’ve met and spoken with the smartest people I’ve known; all who have shared incredible ideas on how to improve the industry. However, they often don’t have a public voice, or a wide-enough platform to share their insights.
Whether it’s due to company policies, NDAs, or extreme workloads, their wealth of insights, innovation, and raw creativity are locked inside the confines of their last SOC, Incident Response team, or threat intel shop. But that changes today.
Giving Practitioners a Voice
That’s why I’m excited to introduce C2 Corner. This is a new blog series where I will be collaborating with cyber pros in the midst of finding their next opportunity. We won’t be talking about job hunting. We will be highlighting the value they’ve already created, with each post showcasing their perspective on real-world security challenges, lessons learned, and their ideas for where the industry should go next.
Why We’re Doing This
I’m starting C2 Corner for three reasons:
- To provide the industry with high-signal, no-fluff content straight from the front lines
- To give practitioners a platform to speak their mind
- To reinforce Abstract Security’s belief that real innovation starts with real operators
What to Expect
Every edition of C2 Corner will be co-authored by me and a seasoned practitioner. Together, we’ll tell their story—sharing their unique perspective and technical insights, while tying it back to real-life challenges security teams are facing now.
Want to Contribute?
If you have a story to share—a detection lesson, a CTI use case, a reflection on burnout, or anything in between, collaborate with us. Reach out directly, or message me on LinkedIn. We can work together to create something that others can learn from.
Let’s make space for real voices in cybersecurity. Let’s help great talent get seen and heard, and let’s build a corner within the industry where practitioners lead the conversation.
