Disclosures
What could bear on what I publish.
I write publicly about a field I also work in. This page states the relationships that could reasonably bear on what I publish, so that a reader, or an editor deciding whether to quote me, does not have to go looking.
The relationships
One seat, stated in full.
The CISO Advisory Program at 7AI
A quarterly panel of security executives advising an agentic security company on product direction and category development. I write about that category regularly, including its effect on security operations and on the entry tier of the profession.
The terms The seat is unpaid and carries no equity or other economic interest, and 7AI has no review over anything I publish. Where a piece bears directly on the category, the disclosure appears in the piece itself, not only here.
What I do not use
Nothing non-public appears in what I publish, not from the advisory seat, and not from any operating role I hold or have held. Where a subject cannot be written about without drawing on something non-public, I do not write about it.
Where I stay out entirely
I do not write about any transaction between 7AI, or any company I advise, and an institution I work for or have worked for.
Who reviews this work
No one reviews, approves, or pays for what appears here. The views are my own and do not represent those of any employer, past or present.
The standard
A reader should be able to see every relationship that could bear on a piece before deciding how much weight to give it.
If you are considering citing something I have written and want to understand a relationship in more detail, please ask me directly.
