The AI and cybersecurity newsletter for leaders who own both

More and more, the same leader answers for AI strategy and cyber risk at once. The two fields feed each other, and both generate more hype than any executive can filter alone. You need one trusted read that covers the whole territory and takes a defensible position, not two feeds that leave you to connect the dots.

Hype Check Now is that single read. One claim a week from across the AI and cybersecurity line, checked against real data, delivered as a verdict framed for a leader. Written by a five-time CEO, CIO, and CISO with the CISSP, ISSAP, and ISSMP, it connects the two fields the way the threats and the opportunities actually connect.

How each issue works

Same skeleton every issue, a new claim each week, built to read in under two minutes. A hype score from zero to one hundred sets the frame. An executive verdict states the call in one line. A Reality Check walks the data with one clean chart. Two or three cited quotes from named leaders frame the debate. A signal-versus-noise sweep runs the week's news with quick verdicts, and one sourced Number of the Week closes it out.

Why it holds up

Every number is real and citable; nothing is invented or estimated. Public-figure quotes are verbatim and attributed. When a verdict is provisional, it says so. There is no vendor paying for the call, so the verdict answers to the evidence and lands wherever the data points. That independence is the product.
