Ambulance Chasing: the weekly cybersecurity newsletter
Cybersecurity, AI and data governance news, explained in plain English.
Most cybersecurity, AI and governance news is written for people who already know the jargon, which leaves the executives and managers who actually make the decisions guessing what it means for them. Ambulance Chasing is a free weekly newsletter that picks the stories that matter most and explains each one in plain English, covering what happened, why it matters and what to do about it.
Trust, but verify is an old security adage and it applies more than ever, so every story links back to the original reports and you can read further and check the details for yourself. It goes out on Tuesdays and takes about five minutes to read.
Subscribe for free
One email a week, no sales pitch, and you can unsubscribe at any time with one click. If you'd rather read it on LinkedIn, there is also a fortnightly LinkedIn edition covering the best story of the fortnight in more depth.
Your address goes to Buttondown, the service that sends the newsletter, and nowhere else. I never sell or share the list.
What you get in each issue
The week's most important cybersecurity, AI and data governance stories, ranked by how much they matter, with the ones to read first at the top
A plain-English explanation of each story: what happened, why it matters, and what to do about it
Links to the original reports and sources for every story, so you can check the details yourself
An honest view on which stories matter for a company your size, and which are mostly someone selling you something
A reply button that goes straight to me, because I read every reply and I am always happy to be argued with
Who it is for:
Founders, executives, board members, product and project managers, and anyone who has to make decisions about security, AI or compliance without being a specialist.
