@joatmon08 @ManningBooks Nice work! This will be helpful for the IT -> Eng paradigm shift. Appreciate the motivation for some security focused examples 🔐

Help us make this the coolest 6th grade science experiment ever! Follow my GitHub link below to create your Ubuntu virtual machine today! If you can't figure it out, ping me. https://t.co/IpcqOsTi3w

My mission is to help prepare our youth for a successful career in technology. Most perceive what we're going to accomplish here as wizardry or approach tech with a fixed mindset "I can't do that". The intent is to break the barrier by demonstrating a 6th grader can do "it".

@campuscodi My take on the context - https://t.co/u3Pxskz3H4

[Rick Payne @RickPayne929]

Here's a glimpse into my daily news. This is the norm and is only increasing. Help us protect our critical infrastructure! I'm creating a 6th grade cybersecurity science project for my son and am going to document the journey on my GitHub.

@notshenetworks Had the same dilemma with a promo clip for a recent DevOps Exchange presentation. Couldn't do the office scripted stuff, so I rode a motorcycle to the top of a mountain and one take freestyled it on an overlook stage there...https://t.co/qQWNOIx03i

[Rick Payne @RickPayne929]

@cyb3rops We're seeing the same issue. I'm working with our SOC on an SDLC / SecEng approach. Vision is an attack sim and detection pipeline. CICD style on Azure DevOps or GitHub actions.

[Rick Payne @RickPayne929]

@cyb3rops Agreed and appreciate the work. AttackSim is another layerered security test that should be included in DevSecOps more openly.

[Rick Payne @RickPayne929]

@ChrisShort Surely we need a 100 line script with a function and everything as a $var to ping a machine, right? Maybe even write a c# app to ping? Def seeing a trend towards unneeded complexity. Maybe this KPI is the root cause!

[Rick Payne @RickPayne929]

@cyb3rops No doubt. Always take time to meditate and appreciate! It helps keep the factory going amidst the chaos.

[Rick Payne @RickPayne929]

@taosecurity The opposing view appears to falsely assume all companies actually have blue teams and security staff. To your point, it's the complete opposite. Lmk how many of these SMBs are capable of...say...patching! https://t.co/ZBrQbVq05q.

[Rick Payne @RickPayne929]

@WittneBe Appreciate the intellectual stimulation this morning! Need to sync with you on similar to follow.

[Rick Payne @RickPayne929]

E.g. We do not have unknown, unpatched, machines publicly exposed running water treatment software in an administrative account with password ‘admin’ in a bloated Windows XP installation.

[Rick Payne @RickPayne929]

@ormondbeach Can we confidently say our city has the appropriate cybersecurity safeguards in place to prevent similar attacks? If not, happy to help anyway I can. No $ needed (Perhaps a police escorted wheelie session in exchange 😎) Our people come first.

Something along the lines of: “We have implemented NIST’s Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and have repeatable (Tier 3) controls in place for asset, vulnerability & identity management, least-privilege, and least-functionality.”

[Rick Payne @RickPayne929]

@ustayready @strandjs TJ Combo and Fulgore. Super punch out got me hooked. Rode the MK wave until 4. And team 🔥 was a must! Double dunk!

[Rick Payne @RickPayne929]

@FireTacoSauce @strandjs 120 or bust! Trying to get my kids off fortnite, but they haven't made it passed a few stars.

[Rick Payne @RickPayne929]

@ejosterberg @0xAmit Truth. I frequently see dev articles with insecure configs like that. You can tell time to deploy is still the driver. Sans security of course. They will slow down the process!

[Rick Payne @RickPayne929]

@cyb3rops For real on the 60+. Therapeutic while increasing mental clarity. Yin yang balance to our fast paced world.
