Me, myself, and I...

Having worked in social media for a number of years, I have been an advocate of merging ones identity for personal and professional activity. But then found my sense of self getting blurred with professional success, so began to question that approach for #mentalhealth

Now, I'm in #cybersecurity, it has become ever more real how much at risk we are as individuals, enterprises and nations from hackers who wish to steal, assert power, or do harm. This year alone, my own tribe has experienced identity theft, phishing attack and attempted paedophilia #crime

So, I'm told by the #experts, that the best way to protect these areas of your life from each other, are to split out your devices and therefore also your emails, passwords and enabling technologies. This will take the kind of #discipline that may be beyond human! Most of us would find this very difficult, and I can't help but feel that this means the bad guys win a small victory against #freedom

But I'm determined to protect my tribe and customers #business so will go to the lengths of finding out by creating a separate identity that starts with a burner laptop and phone! I won't tell you my #pseudonym but I may tell you the story of how that goes, and what it takes to be #infosecure in today's connected world.
