Home of Dan Tinsley. Defending the Network.

Cybersecurity practitioner. Intelligence operator. Resilience builder. Twenty years across cyber defence, intelligence, security leadership and writing, spent in places where the decisions are real, the pressure is constant, and the stakes don't wait for your slide deck to be finished.

The thread that connects all of it: defending the things that matter, at the speed they need defending.

DTN Advisory

The professional practice. Intelligence-led cybersecurity advisory for leaders who need to move with clarity under pressure. Fractional CISO, fusion intelligence, AI governance and venture security advisory.

If you are looking for the serious work, the frameworks, the advisory engagements, the thought leadership: this is where that lives now.

Enter DTN Advisory

Defending the Network has been running since 2010. The thinking has been rebranded, rebuilt, and now lives under DTN Advisory on Substack.

Some things are worth keeping. The domain is still here. The DNS keys are still valid. The signal is still broadcasting.

Under Active Construction

Dan is still building this place. It will be wonderful. It will be magic. It will still be Alice in Wonderland. Check back. Or better yet, check the DNS.

Down the Rabbit Hole

Not everything is visible on the surface. Some things are hidden in the infrastructure. If you know where to look, you will find breadcrumbs. Alice left them there.

# curious. the gateway is open.
# where does the rabbit hole lead?

The metaverse is still being defended. The gateways are still live. If you know what alice1 means, you already know enough.

If you made it this far, you might as well say hello.
