Nothing is perfect: but it never stops us striving to be, and do better.
Why does this blog exist?
In a world ruled and operated by tangible information - Humanity fails to understand the data they release into the world on a daily basis, until it is too late.
This blog exists to collate technical, and non-technical sources of information, theories, and ideas around information security and its application to businesses and technology in the real world.
whoami?
My name is Stephen and I'm currently based in the North-East of England, my current professional role is as a Product Lead. I have a keen interest around information security and its application to small and medium enterprises.
I started my professional life volunteering inside a local non-profit which had been exploited by external IT providers, fleeced by so-called experts, and left in the lurch of service level agreements. Witness to these horrors organisations were put through, it became my personal mission to provide first-class, honest and ethical solutions to information problems. Over the last decade, i have moved from volunteering 3500 hours of my personal time within a non-profit to supporting and developing over 75 organisations across the UK in a range of sectors from Charitable to Public sector.
After that I migrated to NinjaOne as a Senior Technical Advisor and member of the community team, after a year in the community team I have since migrated and now reside as a Product Lead for Remote Management & Monitoring (RMM).
On a personal level - I have been interested in computing the majority of my life, working over a wide range of operating systems, using countless technologies, and always adopting the latest and greatest with enthusiasm.
In terms of education, I completed my A levels whilst volunteering and moved on to my BSc (Hons) degree in Business Information Technology, achieving a first-class classification from Northumbria University; my final year project investigated the barriers to information security within small and medium enterprises.
