@james84_ Hello 🙊

[Chirantha Alahakoon @ChiranthaYasith]

he 'months not years' timeline for AI-driven offensive cyber capabilities is here. The Five Eyes alert on frontier AI transformation means defensive strategies must evolve faster. Are you ready? #AI #CyberDefense #InfoSec

Are you leading like a Watchmaker or a Gardener?
⚙️ Watchmaker:
Builds systems that depend on them.
🌱 Gardener:
Builds teams and environments that thrive without them.
The question isn’t who works harder.
It’s who builds something that lasts.

@business All good… but are you ready for post quantum cryptography⁉️ if you are not good with #Crypto agility, then you are in big RISK

[Chirantha Alahakoon @ChiranthaYasith]

Everyone is talking about quantum computing.

I’m thinking about organizational readiness.

PQC checklist:
✔️ Crypto Inventory
✔️ Crypto Agility
✔️ TPRM
✔️ Policies & Standards
✔️ Risk Assessments

Quantum computers are already fulfilling tasks that would confound a conventional computer. Here's how they work, and who is leading the field https://t.co/7YJbmmJdhI

@SecurityTrybe I don’t see a camera. I see an information disclosure issue. The most valuable thing in this photo isn’t the lens, it’s the metadata someone decided to print on it.

@sec_hub93028 Human 😀… Every security tool is just an extension of human judgment 🙊

AI coding agents can be tricked into running malware from a clean-looking GitHub repo. Tip: don’t let assistants trust unknown repos by default, sandbox builds, restrict egress, and require human review before any clone/setup/exec. #CISO #GRC #CyberSecurity

Phishing no longer stops at the login page. If attackers can steal backup/recovery keys, they can restore history and take over accounts. Review MFA, recovery workflows, and vendor support paths—not just passwords. #CISO #GRC #CyberSecurity

[Chirantha Alahakoon @ChiranthaYasith]

Credential exposure is a major risk for 2026. CISA's latest update on Fortinet devices serves as a stark reminder: enforce MFA, audit logs, and move to PBKDF2 now. Don't wait for a breach to secure your gateway. #InfoSec #CyberAlert

Microsoft just killed the password

New accounts = passwordless by default. No more “create password.” Only passkeys, push, or security keys.

🚨 BREAKING: SpaceX's ‘Marslink’—High-Speed Internet from Mars to Earth!

In a move that feels straight out of sci-fi, SpaceX has proposed “Marslink,” an adaptation of its Starlink satellite network, to deliver internet connectivity on Mars.

Presented to NASA, Marslink aims to establish a high-speed data relay system—capable of transmitting 4 Mbps or more—across 1.5 astronomical units, the distance between Earth and Mars.

The concept envisions multiple satellites in Mars orbit, leveraging Starlink’s advanced laser communication tech to maintain a constant, near-instantaneous data flow between planets.

This network could serve Mars missions, allowing real-time images and data streams from Mars to Earth, as well as supporting future ground operations and Mars orbit assets.
