Threat Intelligence for
CISOs & Security Leaders
A practical guide to building, operationalizing, and communicating enterprise cyber threat intelligence. Written for the security leader whose TI program produces reports nobody reads — and for the CISO who needs to answer the one question the board actually cares about: who is targeting us, and why?

Real expertise.
Straight talk.
Most cybersecurity courses leave you more confused than when you started. The jargon is dense, the theory is heavy, and real-world application is nowhere to be found.
That's not how I teach. With over 30 years of experience in IT and cybersecurity — covering infrastructure, networking, risk management, and enterprise security programs — I've spent my career translating complexity into clarity. My courses focus on how cybersecurity actually works, why organizations make the decisions they do, and how attackers actually think.
"Students routinely tell me this is the first time cybersecurity finally made sense."
