A Message From Dr. Shumba

I have watched talented people circle the edge of cybersecurity for years. They collect credentials and wait to feel ready.

AI can produce a document quickly. It cannot produce your reasoning. We teach people to do the work, make the decisions, and explain them.

Iron sharpens iron.
