I'm a hacker, magician, tech executive, investor, and teacher, living my best 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' life. Former Fox Studios, MGM Studios, and the DNC.

Holy schwartz it's finally happening! The fact that Mel Brooks is still around and they have managed to get Rick Moranis to come back is legendary.

There are parallels between infosec and physical security. Security theater through force backfires. Today's complex landscape needs intelligent adaptation, not aggressive uniformity that breeds resistance.

Do you care more about appearing tough than being strategically effective?

Oh wait, I think there are more parallels... 🤔

If you haven't seen this, I think this is a great way to inventory your AI use cases. I'm always exploring innovative ways to govern AI use both administratively and technically when I came across this.

Also, very relevant to the climate today, and I encourage people to check it out if you care about your rights being impacted.

Are you doing something similar at your organization? I would love to hear your experience in the comments.

Ending CVE program funding would drastically increase cybersecurity costs. Without standardized vulnerability IDs, organizations face fragmented threat intelligence, reduced automation, and compliance complications.

Without this shared infrastructure, existing vendor solutions become less effective or can become incredibly expensive. Cybersecurity labor costs and burnout will rise as teams struggle to maintain security.

Do you rely on a single AI service, or do you leverage multiple? What does your mental model look like when architecting your AI strategy?

@dbleep exactly! So much shadow AI not just from the top down but bottom up as well.

@alex02 100% agree. I do appreciate not having to dig through a lot of SO posts. I also love that I can catch up on someone else's codebase more quickly. I'm publishing an article later this week about MCP and some cool use cases.

I'm curious to hear what people think about working with third parties that use AI in their work.

They might be using your information with their AI tools. How do you feel about that, and how would you handle it?

#AI #InfoSec #TPRM #GRC

I'm seeing a lot of people posting about being able to build apps without any technical or coding knowledge. Please be very skeptical.

In addition to logic, there's a lot involved in deploying scalable and secure infrastructure that actually works for your app's needs. Frankly, even though I love these AI tools, they more often than not produce really poor-quality results. I often have to apply my own architecture and core knowledge to make them viable.

Weekend challenge. Do you think you can crack this?

I’m sad that the greatest criminal mastermind of our time is gone.

Live life by your own compass, not by someone else’s map. Your journey is uniquely yours, don’t let the world tell you how to navigate it.

My goal is to meet the legendary Da Chronic IRL one day to thank him for putting me on the path I'm on today. His work changed my life for the better.

When TCP/IP emerged in the ’70s, nobody envisioned Super Bowl streaming or billions of connected devices. Yet this decades-old protocol still propels our modern internet. Is it time for a fresh start, or will TCP/IP’s adaptability keep us going even through the next digital revolution?

Mastodon isn't perfect.

But the fact a social network exists that is completely free to use

has no venture capital investors

has no shareholders to answer to

has no growth targets

with a web interface with zero tracking cookies

and mobile apps with zero trackers at all

with ten thousand server administrators who donate their time for user safety

is - in my opinion - mindbogglingly cool, given the state of the world we live in. Not everything has to be shit. People make things better.
