@techspence @AccidentalCISO I like the progression in what you’ve called out here.

It’s also likely risk appetite comes into the mix, depending on the organization.

Introducing managed services into the mix could make a great TTX scenario to evaluate the people side of change management…

[Brennen Schmidt @brenzens]

@AccidentalCISO @techspence Thanks for the mention! Tabletop Exercises are a fantastic way of getting the dialogue going.

This sounds like a great way of finding linkages between the Risk Register or Crown Jewels inventory.

@techspence: Can you share a bit more about a scenario which is coming to mind?

[Brennen Schmidt @brenzens]

@AccidentalCISO We also have a podcast to record! 😉

[Brennen Schmidt @brenzens]

@AccidentalCISO Looking forward to the show!

[The Mindful Business Security Show @mindfulsmbshow]

We're back to our regular call-in radio format and looking for #smallbusiness owners/leaders ask a question or two on the next episode!

Topic: Are you confused about how to identify the systems/data that your business needs to protect and what to do next?

[Brennen Schmidt @brenzens]

Had a great chat with @manjaselva with @CBC about cookies 🍪

While we didn’t talk about the chocolate chip or raisin variety, we did talk about digital security and privacy.

Thanks for bringing awareness to such an important topic!

@AlyssaM_InfoSec @AidanShaffer What are these “gallons” you speak of? Are those fractional liters? 😜

[Brennen Schmidt @brenzens]

@AlyssaM_InfoSec @AidanShaffer How much are we talking about when it comes to this order here? LOL

[Brennen Schmidt @brenzens]

@AlyssaM_InfoSec (Adds this to list of things to do in Rochester)

[Brennen Schmidt @brenzens]

@AlyssaM_InfoSec This looks like quite the place! Please tell me they have maple syrup there, eh?

[Brennen Schmidt @brenzens]

@AlyssaM_InfoSec Congrats!!!! Exciting news! Flight to Toronto is that much closer…

[Brennen Schmidt @brenzens]

@AlyssaM_InfoSec @Postsemreh Can Canada wade into this conversation by asking about where we land on punctuation?

[Brennen Schmidt @brenzens]

@CanEmbUSA @KirstenHillmanA @cabc_co @ABintheUSA @TimHortonsUS @wethepizza @NHL @beth_a_burke Please say there was maple syrup, too, right? (Not even trolling here 😂)

[Tim Cook @tim_cook]

Thinking of my friend Steve on his birthday — the lives he touched, the vision he shared, and the profound impact he had on our world. “We’re here to put a dent in the universe. Otherwise, why else even be here?”

[Brennen Schmidt @brenzens]

2 / 2: Let’s hope organizations will continue to explore, and ultimately invest, in additional authentication methods.

It’s why I’m a strong proponent of technologies like @yubico’s YubiKey (not sponsored post here).

[Brennen Schmidt @brenzens]

SMS-based Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) depends on cellular network connectivity. Network outages don’t just affect telephony; they can also impact the very services we need to access key accounts (e.g., banking, travel, health).

Excited to share that I’ll be speaking at BSides Regina! Looking forward to meeting up with #infosec folks from #yqr and #sask!

Be sure to get your tickets to join what’s sure to be a great event!

[Brennen Schmidt @brenzens]

So, I tried some new tech today…

[Brennen Schmidt @brenzens]

@AlyssaM_InfoSec @Evil_Mog Oh no! I didn’t get this memo. I suspect we may need to open up the maple syrup reserves as an economic substitute for our poutine!

[Brennen Schmidt @brenzens]

@theglamtechie @RayRedacted @lizziedavey @kaleighf @debrabmccraw @AlyssaM_InfoSec @AccidentalCISO @ktstevenson @johnbehen @sailingbikeruk @CyberGaffers @SecurityCeleste @TheCravenOne @lil_lost @LizardSlack Wow, appreciate having made the list among such names of folks! So grateful for you and the energy and passion you share to your work. Did I mention your writing skills are absolutely stellar?!
