Catalyst Weekly Rewind – Value in time and passwords

As we start another week, take a moment to pause, rewind, and replay the highlights from last week. This captures the work I published, elements I shared, and offers some insights in where I’m focusing some energy.

Connection, context, and conversation are encouraged!

Quote of the week

This week I came across a word that really resonated with me:

meraki: (verb) do something with soul, creativity, or love; to put something of yourself into your work

I hope you get to experience some this week!

Created: What I published this week

To increase value, you need to know what your time is really worth — my second post on LinkedIn, based on an exercise I use in my speaking, training, and advisor programs. Sometimes humbling, knowing what our time is worth allows us to make better decisions. Let me know what you think.

After this judge’s ruling, do you finally see value in passwords? — An interesting ruling that sorted out the difference between biometrics and passwords. The real gem is the legal analysis and insight from Shawn Tuma – check out what he had to say.

DtR Episode 118 – Demystifying Threat Intelligence – a fascinating chat with Crowdstrike; I thought the last 10 minutes was the most revealing. Do you agree?

Some other work you might be interested in

Last week launched a 5-part series with Damballa University to explore what it takes to bridge the gap between our mindset of “assume breach” and our actions (hint: they don’t entirely match up yet). It draws on my “content-structured conversation” approach, and you’re invited (no charge or obligation) to join in the journey: https://www.damballa.com/in-the-spotlight/
