All strings lead to Rome

Welcome to ThinkingString...

I work in the IT industry, specialising in information security and generalising in many other things beside. This forum is a place for musings grounded in that frame, but extending off into may others. The views expressed here are my own, and are based on my own 20+ years of international experience working in the IT industry, as well as the collective intelligence of the many people I have the chance to work alongside every day.

It occurred to me some time ago that a lot of IT issues are viewed in isolation. Little consideration is often given to the business environment, to other areas of IT, to societal happenings and global trends. It is my opinion that to take such an isolationist view tends to miss a lot. Everything is connected. In my view, perhaps there is a pressing need to take an encompassing and unified view. Hence ThinkingString.....named after the "unified string theory" that attempts to explain....well....life, the universe, and everything.

Come fly and lets see where this takes me, and hopefully you.
