About Bootstrap Cyber
Bridging the gap between people and technology in cybersecurity
Why I Created Bootstrap Cyber
Hey, I’m Laura Kenner, creator of Bootstrap Cyber, cybersecurity content strategist, and your favorite nerd with a mic.
I hold a degree in cybersecurity and have spent the past several years behind the scenes helping vendors craft smarter marketing strategies. But the more I listened to practitioners, studied the market, and watched the same mistakes play out… the more I realized we need something different.
Bootstrap Cyber is my answer.
It’s a media platform built to bridge the gap between the tech we build and the people expected to use it. I create content that surfaces real practitioner insight, spotlights emerging founders, and calls BS on broken narratives in the industry.
If you’re here to build smarter, lead better, or just want honest content that respects your intelligence, welcome. You’re one of us.
The Bootstrap Cyber Mission
We’re here to empower cybersecurity pros.
We create honest, insightful content that gives practitioners a voice, helps vendors lead with empathy and clarity, and connects the dots between people, tech, and market forces. Our goal is to surface what’s real, challenge what’s broken, and make this industry work better for everyone.
