“How can one identify the true owner of a cyber risk? When everyone is responsible, no one is responsible. This is an undisputed fact. To the best of my knowledge, organizations often rely on frameworks such as RACI matrices (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) to formally assign ownership. From another perspective, however, the “true owner” of a cyber threat is its creator. And here is where the truth may reside. Whether it is hackers, insiders, corporate culture, a lack of CISO expertise, disinformation, or perhaps the very silos you have built. And wait. What about your CIO, your CEO, your Board? Think of them as the first line of cyber threats. I can. I am a scientist, a researcher. I search for what I cannot even imagine at first. Then - it is up to you to decide where to look.”

“Consider the blue rose: if she were to say, "I will only bloom when I am blue", then she would never bloom at all. Blue roses do not exist. But the blue rose is a rose that bloomed white, then somebody's hands came to paint her blue later on. Someone saw her, and painted blue on her. There would be no blue roses at all if white ones didn't bloom where they are planted. Things change. Bloom now.”

“Gdmng, Sunshine! This morning, I offer a gentle reminder: even when everything sucks, pretend you’re a wildflower & push through anyway. Isn’t it amazing how wildflowers just, like, grow anywhere & bring beauty to the space that they inhabit?? So inspiring! Darling listen – this isn’t about blind optimism; it’s about embracing a spirit of wildflower. Let you truly believe you have a wildflower heart within you, meant to blossom freely, resiliently & untamed. May this unearth the hope that lies within you. Sweetheart, in this season of growing, I want you to learn to embrace this beautiful characteristic & the tough sides of yourself. No matter how chaotic it is, let you spring up, grow & expand in the middle of nowhere like a wildflower. May you bloom in a way you are meant to & bring beauty to this world simply with your thoughts, words & actions.. Blessings!”
