Alan Lucas always wanted to be an architect or a firefighter — as CISO of Worldstream and Greenhouse Datacenters, he has become both. In this episode, he joins host Steve Moore to explore leading cybersecurity at the intersection of design and crisis response.Alan traces his path from Fox-IT through a Dutch cryptocurrency exchange where he arrived post-breach to an organization under near-constant attack from nation-state threat actors. Leading a technically sophisticated but security-anxious leadership team, he learned the lasting power of transparency and directness — and his most memorable measure of success was not a technical control, but a CTO who finally slept through the night.The conversation goes deep into crisis communication. Alan and Steve discuss how the industry has matured from reflexive silence around breaches to embracing transparency as a trust-building tool, the danger of well-meaning legal edits that send customers chasing the wrong narrative, and why the CISO should hold final review over all public incident communications. He also shares his Security Champions Program, tabletop exercise design, and why knowing who to call in a crisis must be mapped out before that crisis arrives.Alan also covers his volunteer work with the DIVD, coaching ethical hackers and supporting responsible disclosure worldwide — an extension of his belief that security, done well, creates trust and enables growth for everyone.The episode closes on "bouncing forward" — the idea that true resilience means using every incident as a forcing function for improvement, not just a return to baseline. Alan frames lessons learned as the most important resilience KPI a security team can own. A masterclass in leading through both calm and chaos. Key Topics• The architect-and-firefighter mindset: building security programs while fighting live fires• Alan's career path from Fox-IT (MSSP) to post-breach CISO at a cryptocurrency exchange• Leading security post-breach — and what "sleeping well again" actually means• The unique threat landscape facing cryptocurrency companies, including nation-state adversaries• The Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure (DIVD): coordinated, ethical vulnerability disclosure worldwide• Mentoring young ethical hackers: communication, confidence, and responsible disclosure process• Crisis communication: balancing transparency with operational security during active incidents• Why legal edits to breach notifications can mislead customers and create dangerous distractions• The CISO's role as final reviewer of all incident communications• Security Champions Programs: bridging the gap between security and non-technical departments• Tabletop exercise design: running effective simulations in under an hour with non-technical staff• Writing the breach notification letter before the breach happens• Bouncing forward, not bouncing back: using lessons learned as a resilience KPI• Security as a business enabler: positioning the CISO role for organizational growth and confidenceGuest BioAlan Lucas is CISO at Worldstream and Greenhouse Datacenters, two of the Netherlands' leading cloud and data center infrastructure providers. With over a decade of cybersecurity experience, he leads security strategy for mission-critical IT and cloud environments. Prior roles include Fox-IT (MSSP) and LiteBit, a Dutch cryptocurrency exchange where he served as CISO post-breach. Alan also volunteers as a coach at the Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure (DIVD), mentoring ethical hackers and supporting responsible disclosure globally. He is passionate about security as a catalyst for innovation — and about building a safer digital society, one step at a time.LEARN MORE:

Today I discuss Daggerheart's GM Principles, which are begin and end with the fiction (story); collaborate at all times, especially during conflict; fill the world with life, wonder, and danger; ask questions and incorporate the answers; make every roll important; play to find out what happens; and hold on gently. I talk quite a bit about why you don't want to call for too many rolls, and how to know when to call for a roll versus when not to. I specifically discuss the two main areas where some GMs call for way too many rolls: actions involving perception and knowledge. I also go into preparing for an adventure or game session by creating an inciting event to kick things off, and not planning too much beyond that point. I also share how I prepare to improvise. Finally, I talk a bit about advancing and modifying my setting of Primordia. I originally designed the setting for D&D, so I wanted to make some changes to better fit Daggerheart and allow the players more design space to collaborate with the world building.Play Daggerheart with Me on Start Playing Games.Sign up for my newsletter.Subscribe via RSS, Apple Podcasts, or Spotify.Check out my sci-fi novel, Critical Balance.Have you read Critical Balance?

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above. Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.‘Our What Ifs Became Real Life'Kayla Maria of Fort Ripley is an avid arts consumer, and she recommends a visit to the MacRostie Art Center in Grand Rapids. She appreciated the multi-disciplinary show “Our What Ifs Became Real Life” by Amber Buckanaga and James Harvin, on view through March 27.She describes the “intimate moments” of the exhibit.Kayla says: As you walk into the exhibit, you're basically walking through time and through the timelines of James and Amber's ancestors and even thinking into the future. There were components like poetry, textiles, fashion, design and painting. There was a moment where they were talking about Amber's family history with boarding schools and relating that to James's family escaping slavery.— Kayla Maria‘Monsters Not Monoliths! A DnD Actual Play'Eli Effinger-Weintraub is really looking forward to seeing “Monsters Not Monoliths! A DnD Actual Play,” at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 6, rescheduled from the original January date due to the federal immigration enforcement surge. Professional game master Manny Elliott will run a live table-top role-playing game with a group of experienced actors/gamers while the audience watches the story unfold.The show will run approximately three hours and is recommended for ages 18 and older.Eli says this show should be a blast for experienced and would-be gamers, improvisers and storytellers. The story follows a group of ordinary people in a city a lot like Minneapolis, when mythical monsters and fairy tale creatures start showing up, the characters have to decide whether to fight the new arrivals or stand with them.— Eli Effinger-WeintraubLowry Hill Gallery grand openingKristin Makholm has a bead on the arts community as a former art museum curator and director and now a nonprofit fundraiser in the Twin Cities. She recommends visiting the grand opening this weekend of the Lowry Hill Gallery in Minneapolis. Located on Franklin Avenue near Hennepin, the Lowry Hill Gallery will feature Minnesota and regional artists working in a representational style.Kristin describes the two artists with featured shows starting Saturday.Kristin says: Charles Lyon is a Minneapolis artist who paints what he himself has seen and experienced. For example, he paints nature as it appears in the urban environment or the landscapes of the Boundary Waters as seen from a canoe. The show he's opening this weekend is called “Round Here,” which features paintings of the greenery of our Midwest spring, summer and fall.Kirsten Tradowsky's paintings are based primarily on photographs, reimagined through her own vibrant lens of paint color and expressive brushwork. The series of paintings called “Annemarie's Vision” uses her grandma's photos of family gatherings as source material to create paintings.— Kristin Makholm

This week I discuss player best practices presented in the Daggerheart core book. Keeping these in mind will enhance any tabletop RPG you play, not just Daggerheart. The first, and I'd say fundamental, best practice is to embrace danger. At the heart of this and the other best practices is to choose the interesting choice, the choice that makes a better story, not necessarily the optimal or most tactical or strategic choice. We don't “win” at these games by always succeeding, never failing. We win by creating an awesome story together. A story where the PCs always succeed is a pretty boring story. The key to making this all work at your table is to establish and maintain trust among the GM and players. And a big part of building and maintaining that trust is how you handle PC death at your table. Daggerheart has some really great guidelines for all of this. I also go over how hit points, death moves, and scars work in Daggerheart.Play Daggerheart with Me on Start Playing Games.Sign up for my newsletter.Subscribe via RSS, Apple Podcasts, or Spotify.Check out my sci-fi novel, Critical Balance.Have you read Critical Balance?

In this episode of Protect It All, host Aaron Crow sits down with OT security expert Dean Parsons to unpack what actually improves cybersecurity maturity in manufacturing, water, and wastewater environments. From remote access blind spots to outdated network architecture, they explore the practical gaps many organizations face - and how to fix them without massive budgets. A central theme? Tabletop exercises. Not as a compliance checkbox - but as a powerful tool to build collaboration between IT and OT teams, clarify roles, and stress-test real incident response plans before a crisis hits. You'll learn: Why tabletop exercises accelerate OT maturity The importance of trust between engineers and IT teams How focusing on the SANS 5 Critical Controls drives meaningful progress Why visibility and architecture matter more than shiny tools How to improve OT security without overwhelming teams or budgets The human and process factors that determine response success Whether you're leading OT security, managing critical infrastructure, or trying to bridge IT and engineering teams, this episode delivers practical, experience-backed strategies you can implement immediately. Tune in to learn how to strengthen OT security through people, process, and purposeful action - only on Protect It All.

Today I talk about Fear in Daggerheart, a metacurrency used by the GM. Some GMs consider metacurrency to be a bad word. So how do the metacurrencies of Hope and Fear work in DH? Are they boons or flaws? Pros or cons? Buffs or debuffs? I'll unpack it in this episode. I show how in my experience Fear hasn't limited my creativity or prevented me from doing things I want to do. I discuss how fear is an excellent pacing tool, especially in combat, and how it really helps the GM dial in the difficulty of combat to exactly where they want it to be. Though at first blush Fear may appear to limit your options as GM, I haven't felt like it does in practice. But it does make me feel like I can be more strategic and tactical, all while experiencing significantly less cognitive load than I'd experience running a similar combat in D&D. Fear also helps the players see that what you're doing is totally fair and earned by their choices and actions. I also don't have to feel bad when those consequences are unpleasant to the PCs.Play Daggerheart with Me on Start Playing Games.Sign up for my newsletter.Subscribe via RSS, Apple Podcasts, or Spotify.Check out my sci-fi novel, Critical Balance.Have you read Critical Balance?
