Rest today. For tomorrow we ride.
Dear renegades, mavericks, and deviants,
I’ve just set off on a break with my family, so there’s no regular newsletter this week.
We talk a lot about mental health and wellbeing in cybersecurity, but switching off isn’t always easy. If I’m honest, I rarely want to—but I know I need to. Right now, that means putting my attention fully on the people I love, and stepping away from the diary for a couple of weeks.
That’s the reminder I wanted to leave you with: find the time and space you need to recharge. However you do it, make sure it’s yours.
Because the truth is, the next stretch is going to be big. Behavioral security is moving faster than ever. The professionalisation of our space, the transformation of the digital landscape—it’s accelerating. For some, that’s exhilarating. For others, it feels overwhelming.
Wherever you find yourself, remember this: you are more than enough to rise to what’s ahead. The growth required won’t always be comfortable. But you won’t be doing it alone. And the impact we’re building towards - for our organisations, our societies, and the people we love - is worth it.
So rest. Reset. Recharge. September is coming, and with it, the next chapter.
I can’t wait to get back to doing this with you.
