Hey, I'm Richard Blakemore — a cybersecurity professional based in the UK, and the person writing this site.
By day I work in the Cyber Security team at London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), leading human risk and security culture programmes — phishing simulations, awareness campaigns, and anything that helps people make better security decisions without their eyes glazing over.
This site isn't a professional portfolio or a single-topic newsletter. It's just where I write about things that are on my mind. Sometimes that's cybersecurity. Sometimes it's gaming, mental health, holidays, work, or just life in general. I'm a person, not a LinkedIn headline.
What I write about
- Cybersecurity — practical security, awareness, and what's actually happening in the threat landscape
- Tech — tools, builds, and things I'm experimenting with
- Gaming — what I'm playing, what I think about it
- Mental health — honest conversations about the stuff people don't usually say out loud
- Life — holidays, family, and everything else that doesn't fit neatly into a category
