Happy #InternationalInternetDay! 🌐

The internet's first message was meant to be LOGIN. It crashed after LO.

In 1969, a failure like that was just a bug. Today, it can be an attack. Build resilience for both. 🛡️

#CybersecurityAwarenessMonth ends this week. Awareness is knowing what to do. Habit is doing it on a Tuesday in March.

Turn on MFA. Report phishing emails. Install the update.

October builds the awareness. The other eleven months build the habit. 🛡️

Happy #GlobalEncryptionDay!

Attackers rarely break the math. They steal the keys or exploit the implementation.

Thank you to the cryptographers and engineers who get the math, the keys, and the implementation right, so stolen data stays unreadable. 🔐

Happy #InternationalEthicalHackersDay!

Attackers never ask permission. Ethical hackers do, then break your systems on purpose and hand you a report instead of a breach.

Thank you for the adversarial collaboration that stops real attacks. 🤘🏽

Celebrate #ITProDay!

4 things IT pros know:
🔑 "Password123" breaks the policy
🔓 Admin rights aren't a reward
📵 Shadow IT: app unapproved, used anyway
🛡️ "Update later" is how breaches start

Thanks to the IT pros keeping everything up and running! 🙌🏽

Yesterday, Sep 13, was #ProgrammersDay!

The 256th day of the year, since 256 is the number of distinct values in an 8-bit byte. 🤓

Every tool we rely on in security, from SIEM to scanner, started as code.

To the programmers behind it all, thank you. 🙏🏽

On this day in 1947, a moth stuck in the Harvard Mark II gave us the term "bug".

Today, testers still hunt bugs, and some end up in a CVE instead of a logbook.

Happy International #TestersDay to everyone who finds the flaw before an attacker does.

Happy #WorldWideWebDay! 🌐

35+ years online. The risks grew with it. A few safe browsing habits:

🔗 Verify both URL and padlock (HTTPS).
🛡️ Keep browser updated and only use trusted extensions.
🔑 Use a password manager and activate MFA everywhere.

Happy #SysAdminDay to the heroes keeping us online!

3 truths sysadmins will love:
🔁 Reboot before calling. They'll ask anyway.
📧 That "urgent" ticket filed at 4:58pm on Friday.
🖥️ The server from 2019. Nobody touches it. Nobody dares.

Thanks for all you do. 🙏🏽

🎯 Use AI for the right tasks, not every task
🧐 Question outputs, don't blindly trust them
🔒 Keep sensitive data out of public LLMs
✅ Humans make the final call, always
