I Love GRC so much and it’s going to take me far.

[Oluchi Amadi @Oly_Babyy]

Whether you're in security, GRC, fintech, or just curious how card payments work, I'd love for you to read it and tell me what you think.

I just published a new article on Medium: How a Payment Authorization Actually Works (and Where PCI DSS Fits In).

You tap your card and two seconds later it says "Approved." But what happens in between?

[Oluchi Amadi @Oly_Babyy]

In the article, I break down:
→ The five steps of a card authorization
→ Clearing, settlement, merchant payout, and reconciliation
→ Where PCI DSS controls apply along the flow
→ Common mistakes that trip up even experienced teams

I thought this thing would have left my head but Omo, e no gree comot at all 😂🥲

Last night I had a “potential mentor” meeting for the CCF SOC Accelerator bootcamp with a Cybersec expert.
We introduced ourselves. Solid babe. Calm energy.

Then she drops it:
“I know you. You interviewed me for Cyblack internship in 2024.”

Omor, I froze. I no remember anything.
I had to open my mailbox to look the 2024 meeting details.
I also found her X DM she sent after she got accepted, with my response “I’m rooting for you.”

This lady has soared!!.
In two years she has done things that if she never told me herself, I would have sworn we never met.

Then the memories started hitting.
I remember sitting in front of that PC in my former workspace that afternoon.
- I saw the name “Oly babe”
- She turned on her camera.
- Computer Science student.
- Talking freely about the intersection of CS and Cybersec.
- Talking about what she wanted to squeeze out of that internship.
- Talking like somebody who already knew she wasn’t going to stay average.

Most importantly, the “I am not the regular student” energy aura was around her that day
The same energy I used to see in myself and my people back in FUTA.
Real recognizes Real.

Then the question landed heavy:
What if I had mishandled her that day?
What if I wasn’t sensitive enough?
What if I had looked at her and said “Cyblack is not for someone like you”?

- I would have been the person who failed at his duty.
- I would have been the person who slowed down what could have been.
- I would have said NO to one of the people who is now showing up in her full capacity for CCF and the students coming behind.
God forbid.
For a fact, I am always going to be rooting for you “Oly Baby”

One thing i think everybody should hold on to is that This thing is bigger than us sometimes.
We just have to stay open.
The person in front of you today might one day return and show you that the small thing you did years ago actually mattered. And that reminder can reconnect you to your original “why.”

Also, if you are student studying cybersecurity or you know one, let them know this bootcamp is for them

Omoor
Something just happened to me tonight and I can't explain my feelings
All I know right now is that I am in some feelings
I'm happy
I am proud of my actions
I feel fulfilled
I'm grateful for not misusing opportunities given to me
And more importantly, I'm happy that I didn't turn out to be that person who did not give people their deserved chance to achieve their goals or maximize their potentials

[Kierra | Data Conversationalist🎙 @iamKierraD]

Spent my first day at @Ai4Conferences yesterday, and one thing kept sticking with me.

If you spend a lot of time online, you’d probably think enterprise AI conversations are all about agents replacing jobs.

That wasn’t the conversation I kept hearing from enterprise leaders on stage though.

Executives were asking questions like:

• How do we get people to actually use these tools?
• How do we measure ROI beyond hours saved?
• Where should AI be used…and where should deterministic systems stay in place?
• How do we redesign operating models instead of just adding another tool?

It made me think about how easy it is for those of us in data and AI to optimize for the wrong things.

Don’t become known for the AI tools you use. Become known for the business problems you solve with them.

Here’s what I’d be thinking about if I were trying to stand out in today’s market:

Don’t focus on knowing the latest tools and models. Focus on understanding the business problems that orgs are using AI to solve and the ones AI is creating.

Every organization is looking for people who can bridge that gap.

That’s a MUCH smaller talent pool.
