Our greatest need as a society is to limit the damage of software disasters such as successful #cyberattacks. Find out how human-centred system #resilience will address this... https://t.co/nPQuEFlNMe

Planning for #cyber disaster? Here's a fascinating comparison of two similar #cyberattacks, and why the impact on one company was much more than on the other...

Interesting that #GenerativeAI cannot on its own be made reliable. Presumably the solution is to have other techniques to check the output...?

The problem with Large Language Model chatbots, #LLMs #AI - they're too nice? https://t.co/0VjEUjjroR

Warning: #cybercriminals can and do now pay for ads and infect Conversational AI models! https://t.co/MyZLftnhUC

Some good stuff from Extreme Tuesday on best practices for #agile #vibecoding... https://t.co/vcYGTyFHU5

Intriguing example of practical #ethics in #research...

#Cyber #scammers - don't mess with Lancaster University, thank you! 🙂https://t.co/vAUxZRhyjv

What if major #IT software disasters are inevitable, but collapse is not?

I’m looking forward to presenting on Cyber Continuity at SREday London Q1 on 12 March 2026. Register here: https://t.co/20CUAjvGUZ (code SRE20 for 20% off).

@NHSuk What an embarrassingly buggy app. The iPhone app won't accept text in the comment field. The web based interface won't let me log in because it (get this) doesn't support 'patient access' passwords longer than 10 characters--even though Patient Access itself has no such limits!

Still time to sign up for our future of #cybersecurity public sector event on Thursday... ☺️ https://t.co/wse18czBeJ

Here's a trivial way to make passwords that are convenient to use and satisfy #cybersecurity and the @NCSC , now with a simplified word list: https://t.co/MBvK2I5VIW

I'll be speaking on the future of #cybersecurity at this public sector event shortly. https://t.co/wse18czBeJ

The Veeam 2025 #ransomware report shows the importance--and rarity--of verified backups to recover from a #cyberattack. https://t.co/qDkWH2nxQS

Intriguing rant from Cory Doctorow on the economics of the #AIbubble. A very worrying set of financial facts... https://t.co/8JWMXJmpU2

Interesting view of the effect of AI assistance on development, from the long-running DORA research project. https://t.co/wwC4r4OE0q

Happy Christmas Holidays!

Interesting analysis on the full cost of #cyber #disasters, and in particular the danger of 'pivot' organisations not recognised as essential:

Good to see helpful #ncsc timelines for migration to #postquantum #cryptography https://t.co/MoMdiJlrs1. Basically 2028-33...

We're offering support with modifying your systems to help weather #cyber #disasters – for free! Might you be interested? https://t.co/87DBqb6DOm

Even Cory Doctorow, a leading #cybersecurity expert, can get phished. So 'phishing training' won't do very much for any of us!
