LinkedIn is an excellent platform for professionals to share their thoughts, experiences, and insights. And I share a great quantity of information in there. 

Each month, we compile a list of the top ten LinkedIn posts, highlighting the most engaging content you may not find here.

So, without further ado, let’s dive into this month’s top posts! 

1. My opinion on the Ferrari data breach: I discuss how Ferrari’s transparent communication strategy helped maintain brand equity after a recent data breach.
2. How failure helped me to be a leader and a better man: I reflect on an resignation of a key employee in 2018 that taught me the importance of employee appreciation and recognition.
3. Is ad-blocking technology ethically acceptable?: I explore the debate around ad-blocking technology and the responsibility of ad providers in ensuring ads are safe.
4. Interview on Exercise and Preparedness:  I discuss the importance of regular security exercises for organizational resilience.
5. Why Multi-Factor Authentication as you know it is not enough in 2023: My first LinkedIn article that led to the creation of CyberSec.Cafè. 
6.  Comment on people telling anyone their passwords: I advocate for investing in Cyberculture and FIDO 2 Keys. (Ok, you should have understood by now that this is one of my fetishes)
7. “how could we possibly …?” (repost of David Owen): I share insights on why known cyber vulnerabilities can go unaddressed for years (TL/DR: nobody was looking).
8. My Speech at Security4Busiless: alongside of brilliant personalities. I recount my speech on business continuity and cybersecurity and how they are linked, which ,after several perils, I can say that it was the first flame that brought thoughts, to the creation of this blog.
9. European Parliament bans TikTok from staff phones I discuss the significance of this decision for data privacy and compliance.
10. “True Story“: yes just 2 words – A simple, relatable comment on a repost that sparked further discussion. The original post content helped however…

I’m not considering contents such as the creation of this blog (it’s wild, it’s my top linkedin post in terms of views – I was afraid nobody would have visited this blog) or the article on Zero Trust as, even if you find those on LinkedIn these are contents of this blog.

Commentary: This month’s top ten LinkedIn posts showcase the diverse range of topics and insights within the cybersecurity and technology industries. From the technological topics (Zero Trust and Multi Factor Authentication), to my approach on winning the talent war (learned in the University of Life) to thought-provoking discussions on emerging risks and challenges, these posts demonstrate the importance of staying informed and engaging with thought leaders.
