What I Learned About Logging and Detection Strategies From Moving House

Moving house isn’t usually the metaphor you’d reach for when talking about security logging and detection — but in my recent move, I couldn’t help but draw the parallels. Packaging, tracking, and discovering the really important items in your environment, all mirrored the challenges we wrestle with through logging strategies and detection engineering.

Australia’s New Gateway Security Guidance: What Leaders & SOC Teams Should Know

On 24 July 2025, the Australian Department of Home Affairs released a major update to its Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF) as part of the Commonwealth Uplift Reforms, overhauling how government agencies secure their internet gateways. Gateways are the boundary systems controlling traffic between an organisation and the outside world. This update replaces the old Gateway Security Policy with a new, mandatory Gateway Security Standard, which sets minimum security standards that Commonwealth entities must apply for gateway capabilities. In tandem, the Australian Signals Directorate’s Cyber Security Centre (ASD’s ACSC) published updated guidance to align with the new standard and reflect modern security practices. As someone immersed in the challenges of government gateway security at Verizon for over 14 years, I believe the recent advice marks a dramatic shift in approach.

Creating CTI Like a Journalist

I'm going to argue that as CTI analysts, we often get lost in the middle of these technical woods and forget about the ultimate purpose of threat intel: our outputs. These are commonly called threat intelligence products; the reports, alerts, or briefings we send to help others make decisions and take action. So how do we stay focused on the real purpose of CTI: producing useful, actionable outputs? Consider the lessons from an occupation we’ve had lifelong exposure to: journalism.
