Season 2 of The Lockdown is here, with a renewed focus on the overlap between privacy, security, and open-source intelligence. In this episode, Ray explains why reconnaissance should be treated as the first line of defense, not as the attacker’s free move. This episode lays out a practical way to think like a CISO in both your personal life and inside an organization. The core idea is simple: Minimize What Can Be Known, understand what you are protecting, and close the gap between having security controls and actually being protected by them.
