Zero Trust, Infinite Wit

Zero Trust, Infinite Wit: A Satirical Guide to Modern Cyber Paranoia Step aside firewalls - meet filter coffee-fueled cyber vigilance at its finest. In this laugh-out-loud collection of fictional vignettes, satirical essays, and pointed rants, Mohan Krishnamurthy delivers an irresistibly Indian take on our digitally anxious age. Through the hilarious (and sometimes heartbreakingly relatable) lens of Dinesh Rao - a paranoid cybersecurity analyst in Bengaluru - we tumble into smart homes haunted by coffee machines, marriages strained by multi-factor authentication, and dating apps where love comes encrypted but never guaranteed.
Each chapter brings its own zero-trust dilemma: Spouses suspecting smart clocks of espionage Kitchen appliances behaving like sleeper cells Passwords so convoluted they require Sanskrit decoders Audit logs that trigger existential dread SOC analysts founding support groups with cartoon geese CISOs playing buzzword bingo before every breach Dating profiles scored by threat level Memes and machine learning mishaps Endnotes from a cyber-poet questioning reality A quiz that might reveal you as the insider threat With a voice that's both sharply observant and irreverently playful, this book is a must-read for security professionals, tech skeptics, and anyone who's ever side-eyed their smart TV.
Whether you're in a SOC war room or sipping chai on a balcony in Jayanagar, Zero Trust, Infinite Wit reminds us that in a world ruled by cyber threats, the best defense might just be humor - and a healthy dose of paranoia.
