Welcome to my blog where i write about anything that pops in my mind and coincides in time with the urge to expose it on the internet.
I am interested in art, geopolitics, investing and information security. Information security fits the cliche where i made my passion my work and been doing that for 20+ year. In my daily working life i try to add as much as corporate value possible by using a pragmatic style in applying solid information security in a corporate environment. Since attackers have minimal Red Tape, we blue teamers (defenders of the corporate network/systems and data) need to act fast and try to deal with it just as long we get the mitigation in place.

The reason i choose this visual is to stress that integrity and authenticity becomes so important in times (nov 2025) where AI can generate art and where national leaders can appear genuine.
“The famous pipe. How people reproached me for it! And yet, could you stuff my pipe? No, it’s just a representation, is it not? So if I had written on my picture “This is a pipe”, I’d have been lying!”
