Last September, myself and a few other colleagues left a thriving startup to go build something that we believe will change the face of IT.
It's been a typical blend of startup challengesโstress, fear of the unknown, and uncertainty, but also exhilarating!
I can't wait to share with everyone what we've been working on.
On my new adventure as a co-founder & CTO, I've written a blog sharing how I see startups being able to navigate building products in the new gen AI world. I offer my perspectives on the challenges & opps startups face building, competing in this new world https://t.co/TtfleVTVnR
Very excited to see this published. Check out the blog if you curious about some of what we've been up to. We'll publish more details on how we implemented this feature in the coming weeks.
To keep (1) #SOC analysts engaged (and avoid burnout) and (2) customers happy, new #secops processes & #infosec tech (like Alert Similarity) are a must.
@vac4n7 & #CTO@petersilberman share the journey, from research to production, and tips along the way: https://t.co/JZJ5gBAvpj
When can a RIOT create *less* noise?
Our #SOC shares why we use @GreyNoiseIO's RIOT API to dispatch #infosec alerts that don't require further investigation in their new blog (and how it parses results for human ๐๐ consumption: https://t.co/2MwjMkA9U2
I also want to shoutout @excalidraw as another favorite, they probably deserve their own blog on all the ways we end up using them at Expel. h/t @raychaser for putting me onto this brilliant app.
At @expel_io every quarter we have a week with no meetings. Reflecting back on these weeks. I wrote about some of my favorite ways to avoid meetings while scaling communication, and enabling async collaboration (shoutout @loom, @ProjectJupyter). https://t.co/EkbQGg2vyN
@halvarflake@bernhardsson@halvarflake ๐ fancy seeing you here๐
I don't think it's mainstream, I do think its a matter of time IMO part of what's missing, purposeful API abstractions for interacting w/database (in ES case) We've had great success using @pinecone in production. I like where they're going
I hope this type of reporting, and transparency gets replicated by others. I believe this is the type of candor and data, that can drive real conversations within our industry and benefit everyone. #QCgreaterthanpewpewmaps
This will likely get missed by most but I'm *super* proud of our #SOC quality control program.
Appendix B: we share the trend of SOC quality across 2021. The trend of defects across alert triage, investigations, and response activities improved as we scaled.
Really excited for @jamescalam from our friends @pinecone to join us for our next Hello World event. We're going to talk about how we are using vector similarity to solve various challenges when scaling security operations. https://t.co/wpSJ8asyda cc @vac4n7 @secbern
Excited to be headed to my first in person conference in many months (years?), AWS Reinvent. Looking forward to reconnecting, and meeting new people. Should be fun!
These Kubernetes tabletop sessions with @petersilberman and I are going to be a lot of fun (and hopefully informative)! Excited that @bradgeesaman can join us for some extra /honk
Really excited for this event! In security it's rare to find an area that's still emerging and be able to have a discussion that's sans any and all snake oil. This convo will be snake oil free :) Join us! https://t.co/PkOBtj5j47
Join @moo_hax and I as we join longtime collaborator @petersilberman to talk about--you guessed it--the practical risks of ML as an attack surface. July 27, 1pm ETD.

It's been 6.5 years since I last competed. Today my mindset, goals and cheering section were all different. It was by far my favorite competition ever. For me, competing is the best way to recharge. I'm grateful my family and body still put up with me doing this ๐
.@vac4n7 & I will host Hello World: kubectl auth can-i escalate The event focuses discussion around privilege escalation in k8s & controls. We'll demo a priv escl (not an 0day), use demo to drive discussion, wrap w/demo of new tool we wrote. Grab a spotโฌ๏ธ

.@expel_io's SOC & engineers lock arms as we march towards our goal of making security accessible to all. Our engineers have been blogging about problems/solutions we're solving to enable our vision. See recent posts, lmk โฌ๏ธwhat else you want to hear about https://t.co/GFYTfzqHaL
I received 2 gifts from our friends at @GreyNoiseIO, a very nice t-shirt and a 2nd unexpected gift from the creative genius @Andrew___Morris Pictured โฌ๏ธ is an antique meat grinder. A truly brilliant/unexpected gift. Thank you!
