What lands in your inbox

// attack of the week

What broke. How it breaks.

One attack walked end to end. The exact surface that fails, not the headline summary.

// rule of the week

What to detect.

A buildable detection idea you can stand up this week. Catches the class, not just this week's incident.

// defender's corner

What to ship.

One defender move worth a PR before Friday. Concrete enough to land in a PR, not a roadmap.

Cloud security engineer · Toronto

15+ years building and securing production systems on AWS and Kubernetes. I work on IAM, detection engineering, CI/CD security, software supply chain, and the agent-identity problems the industry is still figuring out. Weekly Recon is the brief I'd want in my own inbox: one attack worth knowing, one rule worth building, one defender move worth shipping.

Written for engineers with a terminal open.
