New Year, New Post, from the start

January 10, 2025 By Michael Kavka 1 Comment

So much has gone on since my last post back in 2023, but too much to go over honestly. I am rebooting this blog as of this post and hopefully can be more consistent in posting about stuff.  So as we enter 2025 I want to take a look at upcoming stuff.

First off I am going to be speaking at Cyphercon this year in Milwaukee. The talk is going to cover some basics on where we can improve and through those areas lessen some of the burnout we run into. Yeah, I’m tackling one of the 500 ton elephants in the room. We also have a date for Bsides312 this year of June 1, 2025. Watch the website and socials for more information as it becomes available.

For those that don’t know I’m a regular contributor/host on the Talking About Information Security News podcast from Black Hills. It’s available on most podcast systems (Apple, Google, Spotify, YouTube). I’ve also discovered the Simply Cyber podcast which gives some great insight and fun banter on a daily basis.

Finally I want to remind everyone that bad things happen, and nothing is ever perfect. Make sure to take care of yourself physically, mentally and emotionally. It takes all of us to make things secure as possible, so help each other.
