@sawaba Looks good. Try adding a scrambled egg. And let the rice get a little char before working in all the other ingredients.

@cyberkatelyn I could blow the dust off my DATA DIVISION.

Everyday, get up in the morning, take a shower, put on clean clothes, and eat a good breakfast. Because, if you LOOK good and FEEL good, then you will DO good.

What if not only your organization got hacked, but your customers too? @cahickernell can help you avoid such a disaster. Attend his session "You’ve Been Pwned… But Your Customers are the Target" this year at #InfoSecWorld2020

@ISC2Congress Start with a concept that the audience will be able to grasp. Have a clear perspective, chase it down a rabbit hole, then deliver it concisely. If you are too vague, abstract, or “high-level”, then your audience will leave with nothing.

@TinehAgent The challenge often comes when we as security professionals are pulled into a thing, we probably don’t already know, but we are expected to evaluate the risk and understand the workflows, processes, and technology.

[Chris Hickernell @cahickernell]

@James_McQuiggan @rogeragrimes @KnowBe4 @ISC2 Compliance determines whether or not the organization is doing what it is supposed to do to reduce security risk. Not measuring the security controls in place, not checking compliance, is itself a security risk.

@HackingDave In our house it usually goes like:
7yrold: Daddy, did you know <insert crazy dinosaur fact>
Me: You made that up.
7yrold: Ask Alexa!
Me: (foolishly listening to Alexa confirm every word he said)

@SW_Samii Walk through The Forums Shops at Ceasars, all the way to the back to watch the Atlantis animatronic show.

Excited to be moderating the Cybersecurity 101 panel session at #ISC2Congress on Monday Oct 28 — a “nuts to bolts” of what it looks like to have a career in cybersecurity.

@AlexisBrignoni I learned to program COBOL on a VAX.

@shortxstack Expert is not a title or a status--it is a mindest. The expert is characterized by the way they learn, comprehend, and organize information. They are intensely curious, mindful, and methodical. They master the fundamentals, solve unique problems, and share their expertise.

How do you start a riot in a room full of IT pro’s?

Answer: Ask for their opinion on what to name the new server.

[Chris Hickernell @cahickernell]

@ErichKron I agree. No matter who you are, it is the little things that can be distracting and result in an image of being unprofessional, disorganized, and apathetic.
