Hi! It’s been a minute. I started this blog in 2015 when I was new and all was shiny. I thought it was a great way to capture my learning journey and share information. I’ve kept those original sections in the menu because we still have those issues to deal with now, plus more. Historical context plays an important role when looking at threat actor behaviour or patterns of events. And as we know, history repeats. Yes, we need to look forward and not keep checking the rearview mirror BUT the past can have a powerful hold on us when we don’t learn from our mistakes, or move on too quickly and so I am keeping all that detail here, like time capsules, for future reference.

Maeve Security Podcast Debuts – We are the Difference!

I am so honoured – and humbled – to be one of the first guests on the new Maeve Security Podcast, hosted by the delightful and accomplished Kendra Cooley. Their name means “She Who Rules”. Their purpose: “spotlighting the women shaping cybersecurity and tech, one story at a time.” The episodes share lessons about how they got there, what they’ve learned, and who they are beyond the job. Origin stories are wonderful things to share, and remind us that effort, determination, strength and kindness are integral parts of the journey. And that just as someone helped us somewhere along the way, we too can pay that forward.

Pour yourself a delicious bevvie, get comfortable and let yourself be inspired. Yes, we can have good things! Please enjoy my segment and others here https://maevesecurity.com/interviews/cheryl-biswas/

Exciting News! I’ll Be Heading to Hacker Summer Camp 2026!

This is wicked cool and I have pinch marks still. Adversary Village is all about what revs my threat intel mind, because you know how I love to play “What if …” . I’ve had the privilege of being a talk submissions reviewer and I’ll just say this – we are lucky to have such brilliant minds working on our side. This is going to be amazing!
