@thirstybear This is actually really funny because yesterday when I was riding my bicycle sort of midway up the mountains where I live. I had to stop for a while as a group of about 40!northern Germans came down the path, each one pulling a llama. That was a first for me.

@thirstybear @matthewskelton Well, given that both of them are massive conglomerates selling the waste product from beer making back to you to spread on toast, I think it’s just adorable that you have a strong opinion either way, considering that both taste, well, respectively, like Marmite and Vegemite. I’m going to duck and run away now lol

@KatS I think if I were to say more, it would reveal sources so I’m just going to say that this was someone who did not believe in threat modeling

I once had a boss who asked me to help him order an armored vehicle so that his wife and child could ride around protected. He didn’t think it was necessary to have it driven by a professional driver. And he insisted - insisted - that it have a sunroof. You know, so his wife and child could open the sunroof while driving.

@thirstybear @matthewskelton Except for Vegemite. That’s what you meant, right?

I just read about “Bounce” which is a “basketball opera” and I can’t think of a more perfect blend of things to make it the worst conceivable entertainment ever devised, unless you were to add “with a two-day cricket test match at intermission” to the description.

Maybe the issue isn't that boards need more security experts. Maybe it's that security leaders need to get better at working within existing governance structures and prove their priorities align with business goals.

Board seats are limited. Every function thinks they deserve one.

Instead of expecting for perfect security expertise from the board, what if we focused on building cybersecurity literacy among the smart folks already there?

We're not the first to promote a strategy of fractional CISOs building programs so that a full time CISO can manage it, but Pablo Breuer and I committed the strategy to a comprehensive and specific blog post I think CEOs and board members considering a CISO hire might find useful framing:

I thought Moderna Covid vax had lots of side effects. Then I got the shingles vax. Holy moly. Down for the count.
