This blog is not about the security topic de jour but rather about a context and perspective in which to view and respond to the events of the day. It is about:
Decision Making
Governance
Policy
Strategy
Priorities
Management System
Rules and Tools
It responds to my observation that security is a space in which intuition and good intentions do not serve us well and in which rational thinking is difficult. There are many variables, some of which are un-identified. Even for the identified variables, the range of possible values, much less the exact or current value, may be unknown, or even unknowable. So, this blog will stress making hard decisions in the face of uncertainty.
