If you’re not in the know, the words Louvre and Abu Dhabi might seem incongruent. But it turns out there’s an art museum in the latter that’s renting just the name Louvre off the famous Paris museum for 40 years (2007–2047) for US$500,000! What?! Just goes to show: never underestimate the value of a brand

People often ask me what I talk about these days at the numerous conferences I speak at around the world. Most of my talks aren’t deep technical dives or analyses of specific cyberattacks. For those, our experts give detailed presentations at specialized events, and publish articles in cybersecurity media. I usually provide a broad overview:

Hey everyone! As I write this I’m recovering after a 32-hour multi-stopover flight back from Latin America; however, despite the exhaustion, I’m already back into reminiscing about Rio de Janeiro while the memories are still fresh… The first time I visited this splendid city (and Brazil, for that matter) was way back in 2006. We

Ok, let’s have a show of hands… Who has experienced, or at least knows about something about, teamLab? Ah, just as I thought: not many. Too bad! For this is a uniquely entertaining art project at the intersection of light effects and music, computer animation, and a completely wild atmosphere. Drop everything and get there!…

I’ll tell you about Rio a bit later, as well as other notable events of my trip. But first I want to tell you about Brasília, the capital of Brazil – for it’s rather an intriguing place… The city was built from scratch in the early 1960s (meaning it’s less than 70 years old!) specially

Another day – another continent!… Country: Brazil. City: Rio de Janeiro Main business: our regional (the Americas; these days mostly Latin American) partner conference Secondary activity: tourisms – of course!… First up – the partner conference carnival. It wasn’t in Rio city itself, but a bit outside – in a beach suburb; still Rio though.

Hi folks! Herewith – another rewind/catch-up post now I’ve had some time get it done!… And so it’s back to the United Arab Emirates – this time the Emirate of Abu Dhabi – for… this! -> But first – rewind. (“Again?!”) Around the year 2000, I convinced myself that photos are superfluous, and that one’s

How many times have I been to Dubai? Based on both memory and my photo archives, I think it must be no less than 20 times. Some were long trips, others were lightning-fast one-day hops; all the same – you’d think I’d have seen all there is to see and snap there by now. But

Ask any tourist what’s the most famous hotel in Singapore, and most will confidently answer Marina Bay Sands. And they’d be right! This iconic hotel, with its distinctive unique design, which towers over a small man-made patch of land by the Bay (here), is so dominant you literally can’t miss it – not that anyone

Hi folks! Well, I’m back home from my month+ intercontinental business trip – but I’ve still got plenty to tell and show you from the trip. And that includes yet another key Middle Eastern cybersecurity event (expo + conference) – GISEC in Dubai. And since it was both a biggie and a goodie and in
