Business Continuity Theater: A Six-part Series
There is no shortage of guidance on how to “do” Business Continuity well. Between ISO 22301, the BCI Good Practice Guidelines, and decades of collective experience, we know what good looks like. Leadership accountability is clear. Strategic alignment is expected. Exercising and validation are built into the frameworks. And yet, the same pattern keeps repeating.
This series by resilience professional Laura Jury starts with a simple observation: the gap in BC has never been technical — it is human. Her series, Business Continuity Theater explores why well-intentioned organizations keep reproducing the same weaknesses, even when they “know better”.

Bridging the Cybersecurity Gap Between IT and Operations
Building automation and control systems have gotten more complex with sensors and remote monitoring built into nearly everything. This connectivity helps make the jobs of facility managers easier, but they also present a new line of vulnerability for cyber threats. Hackers no longer need to target IT networks alone. An unsecured HVAC controller, lighting system or IoT device can provide a backdoor into critical infrastructure. This is no longer just an IT problem.

This is the true story you have never heard. And, it is told by the agent who lived it. He didn’t just chase cybercriminals—he became one of them.
In this electrifying blend of true crime, cyber espionage, and undercover spycraft, former U.S. Secret Service Agent Richard LaTulip recounts his covert mission to infiltrate one of the world’s most dangerous online criminal networks.
Assuming a false identity, LaTulip embedded himself deep inside the digital underground, building trust with elite carders, traffickers, and hackers, while secretly gathering the intelligence that would bring them down.
Operation Carder Kaos offers a rare inside look at the murky world of cybercrime, where deception is currency and exposure can be deadly. It’s a high stakes, real world thriller about betrayal, digital warfare, and the price of living two lives.
