From last week, but it was a privilege to lead the Marines, Airmen, Soldiers, Sailors, and Civilians of Combat Mission Team 3. They’re doing the nation’s work every day to ensure our adversaries remain a step behind. I can’t wait to see what they accomplish next!
We must learn that we have to start finally turning away from the wonderful visions of technical magnificence solving cybersecurity and toward relentlessly doing the duller stuff that we can actually do that will gradually make a difference.
It's probably about time for me to remind people that choosing between "hardening against attack" and "disrupting adversaries" is a false choice. Just as the "threat landscape" is vast so are the mechanisms to counteract it. Do both AND.
There's a lot of valid discussion about how AI is enabling the opposition. That's something that has to be managed, so that I can move on to the topic that I would rather talk about, which is how to use these new systems technologies to fuck up adversaries.
Because my future life (in about a year ish, when I leave command and come back) is going to involve a lot of policy, this blog from @cantcomputer has been rattling around. The boring but important - and I really hate the word document shuffle!

@mubix@bsdbandit Really nice work, and useful for those transitioning from gov work to understand a more realistic corporate or gov adjacent job opportunity. Too many folks transition with unrealistic expectations.
In collaboration with a couple of other leaders in the industry we are releasing https://t.co/Kssdre4HiX - It's an attempt to provide transparency about role levels, expectations and (just for the US market currently, salary ranges). For leaders writing JDs and candidates alike.
@zenpundit Not here to comment on the politics, for obvious reasons, but instead point out the invasion of Ukraine began in (at least) 2014. Certainly extended much further again in 2022. Just a failure of imagination all around.
@vxunderground Congrats! Had twin girls. Survive. You guys are doing great!
Lots of sleep-deprived laundry nights. Trash take a bit at a time each day beyond your normal. Pick a room and clean it. It’s all chaos! You’ll make it!
