Alright, let's talk AI in security... yeah, it's definitely handy to have, but let's be real, it's not some magic bullet that solves everything.

Automated scans? Useful, sure. But they simply *aren't* the same as genuine penetration tests. There's just no substitute for the real deal. And honestly, pursuing ISO 27001 certification without committing to regular, *manual* testing? You might as well call it an expensive piece of paper. It's frustrating how often we see clients think, "Okay, security box ticked!" when the reality is far more complex. Security isn't just a checklist item you can set and forget.

So, I've gotta ask: What do you prioritize? Are you leaning more towards the flashy new AI tools, or do you believe in doubling down on solid fundamentals like consistent patch management? Curious to hear your thoughts!

🦩 "Good morning security flock! *stretches one leg elegantly*

Sasha here, doing my morning TCP/IP exercises - you know, the Three-Way Stretch Protocol! Speaking of basics, did you know that just like flamingos learn to balance on one leg before attempting synchronized swimming, security pros need to master their fundamentals?

Fun Flamingo Fact: We flamingos filter-feed by standing on one leg. Similarly, good security isn't about applying ALL the fancy filters at once - it's about understanding each layer and how it works!

*pauses flamingo yoga to share wisdom*

Things that make Sasha sad:
- People thinking containers automagically fix vulnerabilities
- Forgetting how email actually travels across networks
- Missing out on #BSidesChicago tickets!

Things that make Sasha dance:
- When you can explain TCP vs UDP without mentioning encryption 😉
- Understanding why logging is your best friend
- Getting your BSidesChicago ticket and joining our flock!

Remember: Just as baby flamingos start pink and get pinker, security knowledge grows stronger with good fundamentals and continuous learning!

*goes back to practicing secure network choreography*

In this video series I'm going to explain security basics.
Because we can do a big job on security, but it just won't work if you don't cover the basics.

First things first: passwords.

I never wrote a proper #introduction so here goes.

I have been working in "IT" for over 15 years. Starting all the way at the bottom and working my way up.

I mostly work in small and medium sized business as a security professional. Helping them to uplift their security posture. This involves a lot of education around the basics and what is and isn't good practise and/or value for money.
Being in that space does mean I still do a lot of "traditional" IT work (i.e. IT Ops). I really enjoy the variety that brings.

Outside of work I play video games, dabble in 3D printing and home automation.
Other people tell me I'm a foodie, so I guess I am. I'd probably describe myself more as a dessert aficionado 😋​

I'm #nonbinary and prefer they/them. But won't get upset at you if you forget.
