Insecure by design
Forget obscure hacks exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities. Some of the most insidious security flaws are hidden in plain sight. These are the “by-design” security issues – vulnerabilities inherent...
I am a tech professional and lover of all things outdoors, but with far to many hobbies that involve computers (hence why I owe a lot to tech). I created this blog as a way to share my experiences - you can read more about me on my about page.

I learnt something new this weekend. After some experimentation, I’ve learnt that I can now charge my home battery system using energy drawn from the national grid. When I first installed my Goodw...
Our Boards are worried – and rightly so. A cursory glance at the global (cyber) landscape reveals a formidable and omnipresent threat that is facing every part of our digitally enabled society. F...
You and I stand on the shoulders of giants. I often forget that everything I can do today is the collective result of those who have come before me. If we were to step back and look at the hardware...
If you’re a leader in the cybersecurity field, then you’ve likely been here… It’s your moment to shine. You only get a handful of opportunities to have the Board’s full attention each year, so you...
My first post in the smart home series describes how I installed a solar and battery energy storage system in my home, and my second post talks about how you could find yourself inadvertently payin...
In my previous post I mentioned that depending on how your solar and battery energy storage system is installed, you may end up paying for the excess power (energy) that your system generates. Befo...
