The Hippocratic Oath of the Cybersecurity Practitioner
Primum non nocere.
An oath for practitioners — on honesty, restraint, uncertainty, stewardship, and the obligations that outlast the work itself.
Offered as a tool, not a credential.
The Friend Protocol
Principles for hard conversations among people who want to do them well.
A small set of principles that two or more people can agree to use together — so that when a difficult conversation tilts, they have somewhere to return to that does not require anyone to be the one who notices first. Nine principles plus eight annexes for the conditions that make conversations harder: asymmetry, status, time pressure, identity, capacity, state, and the seasons that are larger than any single day.
Offered as a tool, not a credential.
The Meridian Protocol
A proposed Internet standard for prospective web preservation, authorized mirroring, and DNS failover. Meridian gives authors a way to authorize preservation of their sites before they go dark — with cryptographically verifiable, URL-preserving failover to live mirrors.
Early draft — seeking co-authors, implementers, and mirror operators. Get in touch if that’s you.
2038-Class Risk Exposure Matrix
A free, open framework for assessing systemic infrastructure risk (time-related or otherwise), with a complete workshop kit for running your own internal sessions.
Building on the Matrix: a CC-BY 30-minute executive briefing workshop (deck + facilitation plan) for C-level and policy audiences is in development. If you have experience facilitating in government or corporate leadership environments and want to help beta test it in a small, vetted group, contact me with a sentence or two on your context and why you can help make this framing land.
