5 years ago today I pulled out of this little garage in Springfield IL and began a 2-day run to Monterey CA, to take on the role of MST's 1st CIO.

This was coming off my work as the CIO of the Illinois State Board of Elections (and a much needed sabbatical after).

It was also the only tech leader role that I did not land through an intro or recruiting effort (i.e. I cold-applied). At the time I was more than a little surprised that I got an offer.

Fortunately it has been a great gig so far.

46-year-old Venus Williams was beaten 6-2, 6-2 by 18-year-old Austrian Lilli Tagger at the Guangzhou Open on Tuesday, extending her singles losing streak to 16 matches.

It may feel like if I selfhost then yes. I could, it won't be stable, but is it worth it?.

However, I have discovered that the tram only runs through 7 pm as a compromise to give the university physicists hours in which to run experiments without picking up the tram on their instruments. Very important to remember for after-work events…

Rethinking Application Security for the AI Era

🚨 AI is accelerating vulnerability exploitation—attacks now happen in hours, not years. Enterprises must act fast: maintain app inventories, run continuous risk assessments, scan regularly for weaknesses, streamline patching, use threat intelligence, strengthen preventive controls, enhance runtime security & monitor AI agents. Security is now a speed game.

As Cybersecurity Awareness Month nears its end, I’d like to share my newly updated list of personal information security and privacy resources. Hopefully, you, your friends, or your loved ones find something useful in it.

For the technologists and information security professionals out there, what have I missed? What resources do you share with your friends and family to help them learn about technology and stay safe?

A default NetScaler answers anyone who connects to its IP and reveals its hostname in the certificate. During the CVE-2026-88771/-88772 zero-day wave, that made it an easy target for IP-based mass scans. Our new blog post shows how to enforce SNI in a few lines of config, so the next wave passes you by and you gain time until a patch arrives. 👉 https://cirosec.de/en/news/hiding-your-netscaler-from-mass-exploitation-with-sni/

New to InfoSec Exchange. I am looking for additional channels/people/groups to broaden my oversight of global/local infosec issues/vulnerabilities/chatter/etc.. to support my current roles within Cybersecurity.

Not sure what to expect using this app. If anyone has any tips or additional channels i might be interested in, please feel free to provide that insight.

Thank you- Chuck
