About Cybyr.com

An independent resource providing guidance on all aspects of Cybersecurity and AI drawn from decades of experience of software, networking, security and testing. 

An uncompromising approach to a subject that encompasses the entire ecosystem of your working and personal life. It’s why taking a holistic view of a topic that is changing daily is the only viable approach.

As the home page headline states, cybyr.com’s transformative purpose is that “Every Organization is Protected from Cyber-attacks.“

Scope

To get started, the site features videos, around 20 recent blogs and articles on cybersecurity, in the Network Cloud, Zero Trust, AI Networking and a special video that complements ExO business methodologies. The site draws on the latest in network technologies, architectures, automation that are intertwined with robust cybersecurity.  It also features my book on “Holistic Cybersecurity.”

Inevitably, its most current focus is on the application of AI techniques that began 30 years ago with my first knowledge-based system. This latest passion is being delivered as Cybyr-AI – a Proactive, Expert-Guided AI System.

This site is also an exploration, a journey. It’s added the concepts of applying Zero Trust to delegation, reducing stress and the developing stories of Network as a Service, board-level cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure. 

What began as a glossary of around 50 terms has grown to a cyberpedia of 425+ descriptions in the last year and commentaries on 400+ news items culled daily from 200,000+ in the last 4+ years. My exploration continues to grow with involvement in the Cloud Security Alliance, the Open Network User Group and MEF. In 2025-2026 there will be much more to add. Stay tuned.
