This is a day where I’m LinkedIn-discovering a lot of people who are claiming to be cyber experts who’ve never held any role other than government policy or investment.
It vexes me when I’m brought in to mop up a situation created by people who’ve never touched a keyboard and yet somehow have been appointed to roles running government cyber policy development. I am greatly vexed.
Ask civil engineers who have built a bridge before making transportation budget policy. Ask doctors who have called a time of death before making medical policy. Ask survivors of abuse before making victim protection policy.
For heavens sake, ask a person who’s hacked a system before making cyber policy intended to fight cyber crime.
EDIT: if you’re in government and reading this and wondering if I’m subtooting you, I’m not. Anyone I’m talking about hasn’t ever heard of the fediverse 🙃🙃🙃 and I am absolutely shading them.
