It pays to be a forever student

In this newsletter, Joe discusses why understanding other disciplines can often flow back into the macro and micro of cybersecurity, especially in a world of AI.

Welcome to this week’s edition of the Threat Source newsletter.   If I haven’t said it in a newsletter before, I'll say it now: If you want to be good at cybersecurity, be a forever student. Cultivating and feeding your desire to know how things work is one of the key ingredients to being a hacker.  It’s not always about understanding the micro details, but the macro of how systems work. And not just computers or software or networking systems — those are ecosystems we’re usually quite familiar with — but what about economics?  agriculture?

material sciences?  human behavior?  music and art?
