Take care of yourself first!



Ever have those days where you just can’t seem to drum up your usually way out front mojo? 

It’s hard to fathom in our health aware culture but maybe you’re suffering from a micro nutrient imbalance? 

Take a few minutes to listen to Dr. Rhonda Patrick discuss how out health aware culture can inadvertently restrict your intake of valuable micro nutrients and the impacts these can have on our day to day work and home lives. 

Her TED Rx talk and her other materials are truly fascinating!

The XACML standard, or....what makes you a visionary?


I remember reading Forrester Research predicting in 2013 that XACML was dead...all I could say way, “I’m curious, what evidence brought you to that conclusion?” 

Not hardly, some of us are visionaries...Authorization, API's, MicroServices, RESTful service implementations, attribute based access controls, the list goes on and on and on... 

 OASIS and industry leaders continue to leverage XACML. 

XACML 3.0x just keeps delivering.  

A brief intro to XACML

An INFOSEC practitioners, practitioner...



“…What I want is to predict the future. I want it for reasons that are no doubt emotionally clear, but I also want it because of my own definition of security: The absence of unmitigatable surprise. As always in cybersecurity, we are now talking tradeoffs. One of those is in deciding how many failures is the right number of failures. It can't be unbounded; that's obvious. It can't be zero, either, as zero quite likely means that you are overspending and, in any case, learning from failure is especially crisp; as Francis Bacon said "Truth emerges more readily from error than from confusion."
