@Delta thankyou to the team at ATL for making my 2 million mile flight memorable, and to the extended Delta family for keeping me safe and fed on the countless flights that got me there. I’m excited for the next million miles we’ll travel together!

Congratulations to Reveald and Epiphany, who have combined to create a unique combination of advanced threat prioritization, cybersecurity graph technology and subscription services... https://t.co/hjudhDKK4Y

@arekfurt It should be the "sacred right" of ransomware victims to sue ransomware payers for compensation as well...

Did you know 60% of small businesses fail within 6 months of a cyber attack? Also did you know we only use 10% of our brains? Yes, - BOTH these facts are fake, yet the small business statistic resurfaces every year thanks to journa…https://t.co/Bb0TfHn92p https://t.co/KStZk19gg5

RSAC 2023 is over - and what a year, it felt back to regular visitor numbers, vendors were out in force across the whole of Moscone, and some interesting booth spending choices - You could tell who had to go through a cost-cutting exercise by their footpr…https://t.co/Rn9nTWL8aV

Go North Dakota! - Cybersecurity is now part of the K-12 curriculum, and more, the cybersecurity classes (and others) are accessible to any state resident - regardless of age or education. https://t.co/PcKauaraxP

Very very well-written article on how ChatGPT and its peers work - by the legendary Stephen Wolfram - . #chatgpt https://t.co/99GLnohj6C

I'm a die-hard Lamborghini fan, but Ferrari's response to their recent ransomware attack, refusing to pay the criminals, has softened my opinion of them - Ben Fatto! https://t.co/tUvHZOc1tr

We're all in love with ChatGPT - perhaps more after the amazing Southpark episode - but be careful out there - Criminals are using our enthusiasm to collect personal data - https://t.co/WvvvyZT3MT

Oregon City, OR recovers from a ransomware attack - the "good news" isn't that they were insured - it's that they didn't have to pay the criminals anything because they were prepared. https://t.co/E6elaqnRzh

Canada bans Tiktok on government-owned devices - I am more surprised it was ever allowed - especially given the article indicates they have mobile device management already in place. https://t.co/DNEQ7Tybdt

Still shocks me how many companies don’t know, and don’t care about firmware compromises, which are insidious in the extreme. Do we really think nation state attackers are really limiting themselves to powershell scripts? https://t.co/RLTO3pdBRg

This is how to make a very negative experience slightly better. Kudos to Hubspot/Salesforce (5months), Google, Meta (4months), Twitter (3months), Amazon (2+months) and the many other companies who treated their RIF'd employees with respect and humanity. I…https://t.co/7WleXH2ue0

When a customer mentions a competitor, do you talk smack, throw mud? One of my first sales lessons in the 90's was how awful this makes you look - @briangburns eloquently sums it up in his blog - . #selling https://t.co/dyL59qjYqs

71% of business leaders fear that insiders may be the cause of their next cybersecurity breach. Given Phishing, patching and stuffing are the prevalent vectors - the other 29% are perhaps mistaken. https://t.co/AWhjKLsaRN

Great article on the hype and practicality of quantum computing by @LouisColumbus- but don't confuse it with quantum safe encryption! https://t.co/PA0CrF8hrt

Riot Games "won't pay" cybersecurity ransom.

An admirable stance - the world's cyber defenders thank you! https://t.co/f7VOu3BoZY

North Korea exfiltrated $1B of crypto in 2022 using basic script-kiddie malware techniques, password stuffing and phishing, simply by being relentless and casting a wide net...
