What do poker and cybersecurity have in common? 🤔
I enjoy the challenge of exploring how poker connects to industries that seem completely unrelated — which I had the opportunity to do this week as keynote speaker at
@Secure360’s “Adapting to Evolving Threats” conference.
My take? Both high-stakes poker and the security space require facing uncertainty and making the best possible decision BEFORE having all the information... while knowing your opponent is actively trying to DECEIVE YOU.
👆 That last part is the kicker that flips the decision-making framework entirely!
One thing 20 years of winning and losing in competitive poker has taught me:
The goal is not to perfectly *predict* the future - or your opponent's every move - it's to become *adaptable* enough to respond intelligently when the unexpected happens.
Shoutout to the lovely team at
