Principles from the job
- 01
Before adding a tool, see what the logs you already have can do.
- 02
Without authority, "I tried this and it got better" persuades more than "we should do this".
- 03
Stop at "no" and the conversation ends. Bring an alternative and things get fixed.
- 04
When you move clouds, make the security standard move with you.
- 05
Put the rule in structure and code, and every deployment meets the same bar.
- 06
Turning a control on is different from proving it stops the threat.
- 07
The requested fix ("please open it") and the real problem can differ. Check what is failing first.
- 08
AI supports the judgment. A person approves the action.
