I share a lot here — opinions, experiences, lessons learned across nearly two decades in cybersecurity and AI. Please read these disclaimers so you understand how to use what I share. By using this site, you agree to the following.
I talk about AI tools, AI agents, and emerging technology a lot. Here's what you need to know: AI tools — including those I discuss, demonstrate, or recommend — can and do make mistakes. They hallucinate, produce inaccurate outputs, and can be confidently wrong.
Never rely solely on AI output for important decisions — especially in security, legal, medical, or financial contexts. Always apply human judgment and independent verification. Use AI as a tool, not an oracle.
The AI landscape changes rapidly. What I write today may be outdated by the time you read it. Always check for current information from primary sources.
I have nearly two decades in cybersecurity, including over 10 years as a Cyber Electronic Warfare Warrant Officer in U.S. Army Special Forces. I know this field deeply. But here's the honest truth:
General cybersecurity knowledge — no matter how expert — is not a substitute for a proper assessment of YOUR specific situation. What I share on this site is educational. It's based on my experience and knowledge, but it doesn't account for your specific systems, threat model, compliance requirements, or organizational context.
Before making security decisions for your organization, consult a cybersecurity professional who can actually examine your environment. My company Outpost Gray provides these services — reach out at jax@outpostgray.com. But even if it's not us, please get proper professional guidance for security-critical decisions.
I'm not liable for any security incidents or losses resulting from reliance on general information shared on this site.
If I ever offer courses, guides, or other educational products, I'm not promising you'll earn a specific income or achieve specific results. No one can honestly guarantee that.
I can teach you what I know. I can give you frameworks and tools. What you do with them, and the results you get, depend on your effort, your situation, your market, and a hundred other things I can't control. Your results are your own. Please don't mistake "here's how I did it" for "here's exactly what will happen for you."
I may occasionally recommend tools, platforms, books, or services. Some of these recommendations may include affiliate links — meaning I could receive a commission if you purchase through my link, at no extra cost to you.
I only recommend things I genuinely believe are worth your time and money. But I disclose this in the spirit of full transparency: you should know when there's a potential financial incentive in a recommendation. Always do your own research before buying anything I — or anyone else — recommends.
Nothing I publish — blog posts, social media, newsletters, videos, or anything else — is professional advice. Specifically, nothing here is:
I'm sharing knowledge and perspective, not providing professional services through this website. Using this site doesn't create any professional relationship between us.
To the extent permitted by law, I disclaim all warranties about the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of anything on this site. I'm not liable for any damages resulting from your use of or reliance on this site's content.
