Please RT for reach. If anyone knows @I_Am_Jakoby IRL, can they please reach out? I don't know them or I would, but they seem to be in distress. tiktok.com/@i_am_jakoby/vide…

Excellent diagnostic by @lennyzeltser on managing business risk and making Information Security the “How” group not the “No” group. As CISO’s move further into a world where they are at risk of being fired, arrested, or financially responsible, balancing risk / reward gets harder

Replying to @AmericanAir
@AmericanAir when I booked a new flight you said my bag would be moved to my new flight. Unfortunately it was loaded on a plane to FLL not MIA. How can you help me be ready for my presentation at 9:00am tomorrow morning?

I don’t get to MIA until after 9pm. Baggage in FLL closes at 5:30 pm and does not open till 9:00 am. What can you do to help? Ps your bag form is not mobile friendly.

Oh my goodness this is so true. Who needs to subvert an AI when you can just look under the keyboard or in the “don’t look” folder on the IT server drive.
Everyone’s messing with clawdbot ai assistant and I’m over here still finding password.txt on file shares. What a time to be alive…

This is so true. Every day I talk with "sysadmins" that think everything is new in the cloud. Even if the bits are new, the operating philosophy was set decades ago. Get under the GUI, behind the web page, understand what you are dealing with. Nice post @IAMERICAbooted

Our analysts reviewed the physics of fitting eight sides on one plate. Conclusion: Thanksgiving operates under its own laws of matter.

If I have any advice for senior employees: The most privileged thing in the entire world you can possibly do is train junior employees and help them find opportunities to learn As you move up, your plate gets more full, less time to help juniors grow. You have to fight for it.
If I have any advice for junior employees: The most privileged thing in the entire world you can possibly train on is a real company. You should learn and test faults of scenarios created by experts trying to teach. But you cannot learn computers without humans. The real job.

EU's Chat Control proposal is to effectively ban end to end encryption since it demands that governments can read all msgs. I find this to be not only insane, but feasibly impossible. Breaking the whole internet. Yet it got voted on last week, and just narrowly stopped. Whew!
The EU’s Chat Control proposal has been stopped, for now, thanks to opposition from Germany and Luxembourg. But the fight isn’t over. We’ve been opposing this dangerous attempt to weaken encryption since 2022, and the EU will likely try again.

Helping the business (and the technology team in some cases) understand Attack Surface Management is one of the highest value activities a CISO can do. #Cybersecurity #AttackSurfaceManagement
I'm convinced one of the biggest wins for IT teams and overall security is to reduce the amount of technology, especially overlapping solutions, that a company has Yes, we're here to support the business, but also, maybe having 3 CRMs and 7 marketing campgain tools is a bad idea

You can’t boil the ocean. Don’t fight the alligators focus on draining the swamp. Risk based approaches are the best way to make sure you are focusing your resources on the areas of greatest impact.
🔹 Cybersecurity Maturity: A Journey, Not a Destination 🔹 Maturity isn’t a box to check—it’s incremental progress. The best CISOs focus on getting 1% better every day. Michael Robbins of Kudelski Security shares a risk-based approach to building resilient, adaptable security. 📖 Read more: kdlski.co/4hX1C8X

Ok Twitter it’s been 2 long years that I have put you on the back burner. Along with not traveling, not really being involved in the cybersecurity & technology community & not looking for opportunities to give back. I’m going to stick a toe in the water again …please don’t bite.

I know I’m flying #mySouthwest @SouthwestAir when the FA brings their personal jacket back to wrap around a child that is cold. Why did you every end the KickTail program? I would give this guy every KickTail coupon in my bag if I could.

I have now submitted my Drivers License 8 times to @LinkedIn. It’s obvious that (a) their system is broken and (b) the don’t care. #fail
That’s three trips in a row @SouthwestAir that have ended with 15 plus minutes sitting on the runway waiting for a gate. You can do better than this. #LetMeGoHome
