Insights inspired by my navigation of business, security, life — and things that interest me most
Tony On Security
Security is in a constant evolving state and keeping up with the various changes can be hard. As my journey in the security industry continues, I will share thoughts and opinions based on my experiences. I'll focus mostly on website security, sprinkled with general security concepts — all tailored to the everyday user.
Tony On Business
Running a business is the most exhilarating, challenging experience of my life, rivaled only by my tours overseas. I've learned that very few people actually know what they are doing, and most of us are just trying to figure it out. I hope to share my own insights and opinions, in the hopes that my experiences will be of value to you.
