Story
My name is Charles Joseph, and I’m the founder of Threat Picture. The story of this website begins at Boston University, where I acquired my MS in Computer Science. Here, I developed a profound interest in cybersecurity — a field of ceaseless, ever-evolving cyber threats, vulnerabilities, and challenges.
I quickly grasped that the only constant in the game is change. And as for rules, well, they’re elusive, or change so frequently that being an effective practitioner (think mitigation) requires focus and adaptability.
Now, let me ask you a few important questions.
While I suspect you practice good cyber hygiene, do you know anyone who sacrifices privacy and/or security for convenience?
I bet you do. And it should concern you.
Because if your friends or family are insecure, you’re insecure. Think about it — your private emails, social messaging conversations, etc., are only secure if both ends of the conversation are protected.
This understanding fueled my motivation to become a lifelong cybersecurity advocate.
In response, I founded Threat Picture, a platform dedicated to aiding individuals and enterprises in shielding their digital assets from the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats.
During my career, I’ve worked in various roles within cybersecurity — as a Security Analyst, Software Engineer, Consultant, and Chief Information Security Officer — helping businesses of all sizes strengthen their security posture and protect themselves from potential cyber-attacks. I’ve also been fortunate to work alongside esteemed experts, benefiting from their insights and refining my abilities as a real-world practitioner.
As a cybersecurity advocate, I aim to educate and empower others to take control of their digital security. I firmly believe that knowledge is power, and by sharing my expertise and insights, I hope to positively impact the lives of those who read my articles and follow my work.
