The Cybersecurity Hub

Real security isn’t the tools, the dashboards or the audit checkboxes. It’s the boring work nobody wants to do and the human layer everybody forgets. These articles come from decades inside security operations.

No pitch. No pressure.

This hub is laid out in chapters, from what security leaders do to where security breaks, the attacks that proved it, and what to do about it. If you’re a security leader with a book in you, see my ghostwriting services or start smaller with the Book Discovery Intensive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does security usually break?
At the human layer. Firewalls and patches can all be solid, and a phishing email or a helpful employee still lets an attacker in.
Are security audits the same as being secure?
No. An audit proves you met a standard on the day it was checked. Security is the unglamorous work that keeps happening between audits.
Will publishing a cybersecurity book help attackers?
No. Attackers already have the techniques. A good security book sells the author’s judgment and experience, and an attacker can’t use either one.
What experience does Richard Lowe have in security?
Thirty-three years in enterprise IT, including 20 years as Director of Computer Operations and Technical Services at Trader Joe’s, with responsibility for PCI audits, disaster recovery and security operations.

Are you a security leader sitting on a book?

You have decades of judgment that nobody else has written down. A book turns that into authority. Let’s talk about getting it out of your head and onto the page.

No pitch. No pressure.
