Jim Wright was a gentle, self-effacing giant of a man, in stature and in spirit. He brought the transformative power of higher education to bear for dozens of veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I will miss him dearly. RIP, sir.

So CISA is warning CI that Russia may act in cyberspace if the West's response threatens Russia's national security. I hear some CI respond "So what, we've always faced attacks from Russia."
At it's core that response shows a misunderstanding of what has and is happening

I have mixed feelings about getting a special thank-you upon boarding as one of the airport’s most frequent users. But the team at “Maine’s Home Airport” really is the best in the country. Thank you for persevering through a tough year, 🙏

Had the opportunity to talk to Nate Fick about the transition from Marine Officer to best-selling author and then eventually CEO of an IT security company. Too many high points to list, just give it a listen and hear for yourself: open.spotify.com/episode/3HDSaF
