🔴 All posts are my observations of the general landscape meant to engage and educate. NOT problems I'm encountering. All views are my own and not that of my employer. I’m a techie, not an economist.

🔴 Please don't invite me to meals, drinks or round tables. ALL requests will be ignored.

I help CIOs in dynamic organisations reduce cyber risk, by developing pragmatic cybersecurity functions that align with the business needs and have a proven track record of increasing simplicity and promoting accountable visibility. 

I'm a Technical Cyber Security Leader with over 17 years of experience within start-ups, management consulting and top-tier organisations. Extensive hands-on experience with Security Architecture, Engineering, DevSecOps, Security Posture Management, Penetration Testing & Red Teaming.

Inside Sales Representative

Bionic, a CrowdStrike Company

Senior Business Development Representative - EMEA

CI/CD adoption means production can change hourly, making it hard to manage the drift, security, and compliance of cloud applications. Bionic allows teams to automate the way they detect and prioritize risk, with complete transparency into what applications are doing in any environment, at any time.

Bionic continuously discovers and analyzes your applications, services, APIs, data flows, and dependencies. It creates an application map in real-time and provides you with the deepest visibility possible - at the code level. Bionic is agentless and deploys within minutes by seamlessly integrating with existing management and DevOps tools, whether they’re on-prem, virtual, cloud-based, or in Kubernetes containers. With no network taps or agents required, Bionic gives immediate value.
