Happy to announce I’ve joined security at NR; you can find me tweeting from @switzeblade as SwitzeOnSecurity deliriously happy to be working for @Kym_Possible making the impossible quite possible!
I’ll never win BlackHat nor wow the whitehat community with my hacker skillz. I needed to hear what I already know: it doesn’t matter. I love InfoSec, and I bring my A game differently. InfoSec needs diversity.
Got a 2.4 GPA my first semester in college. Thought maybe I wasn’t cut out for engineering. Today I’ve landed two spacecraft on Mars, and am now designing one for the Moon.
STEM is hard for everyone. Grades ultimately aren’t what matter. Curiosity and perseverance matter.
For those who are wondering why so much attention has been focused on the response of the Capitol Police to the Trump-inspired riots, here’s a data-driven article that provides some useful frame of reference.

This woman right here @staceyabrams#StacyAbrahams is my hero. It’s absolutely unreal how she galvanized and restored faith & power to those who have been historically suppressed and purposefully kept without a voice. I salute you, madam #georigarunoff#Senaterunoffelection
Let me be very clear: if all we do is accept the certified Electoral College results and go home, we would have failed our country. We must impeach Trump, or have the 25th Amendment execute, or have @realDonaldTrump resign. Congress cannot just go home like nothing happened.
Quick national security note: everyone on the planet now knows the US is running without a leader at the helm.
Every hour the 25th Amendment isn't invoked, we're rolling the dice that a foreign threat takes advantage of the situation. This is not a game, there is no do over.
While today’s terrible display of terror and meanness shakes us, let’s remember: @ossoff, Jewish son of an immigrant & @ReverendWarnock, first Black Senator from Georgia, will join a Catholic POTUS & the first woman, Black + Indian VP in our nation’s capital. God bless America.
I sat on a murder trial like that. An armed robbery. Security guard returning shots from robber A inadvertently killed robber B. We convicted robber A for murder.
I spoke with Jake Angeli, the QAnon guy who got inside the Senate chamber. He said police eventually gave up trying to stop him and other Trump supporters, and let them in. After a while, he said police politely asked him to leave and let him go without arrest
I cannot appreciate and respect @n0x08 more. For giving me a shot at getting into InfoSec, mentoring me, for being committed to security, even when it isn’t popular, and mostly for actually and consistently continuing to be the person I thought he was when I first met him.
Look who's here! The copy of #WIRED25 finally arrived in Israel. @WIRED Thank you again for highlighting the @ctileague, for choosing the collaboration way, and for acknowledging our efforts and our goodwill to make a change globally for the people that fight to save our lives.
@n0x08 You’re an incredible person: a dedicated father, honorable husband, colleague with integrity, and an immeasurable asset to the security community. It’s appropriate to finally see your status move from unsung hero to proper recognition.
