If you are not spending as much time, money, and effort in detection and response as you are prevention/protection, you are not running an effective program.

And if your security budget is not enough (whose is?) then you should be putting even more % into D&R.

Brendan Shanahan admits that there was a shift in his thinking after watching Kyle Dubas’s media conference last Monday. Prior to that, the two were working on an extension.

[Philadelphia is a car city @beansandbikes]

can’t stop thinking about how montreal, which mostly looks like a pretty normal North American city that speaks french, has protected or fully separated bike lanes everywhere and the metro trains come every 5 minutes. it’s not that hard

[Isaac @eyestray]

What a great opportunity for someone!

Congratulations, and shout out to our brother Naz on being selected to the 2023 NHL All-Star Game. Well deserved!👊🏽

Hear, hear. Structures that equate leadership and level of contribution with people management are outdated and increasingly ineffective.

Individual contributors are essential to high quality outcomes and career tracks should be purposefully built to develop and empower.

Why do we have to “manage people” to be “successful”?!

Be an GREAT ENGINEER instead of a MEDIOCRE MANAGER

This career paradigm is broken

I’ve managed ppl. You could’ve awarded me “best ppl mgr ever” but I don’t WANT to manage people. I’m great and happy where I am as an IC

The fact that it isn't a major continuing scandal in the news every day that criminals located in adversary safe havens feel free--with either the acquiescence or actual encouragement of their authoritarian gov protectors--to target our hospitals is itself appalling.

@RonDeibert attributes his accomplishments to his colleagues and late parents. He adds, "I’m very proud to be Canadian. I couldn’t do this research in any other country except Canada, at an institution like the @UofT

Well earned and well deserved. We are all lucky to have @RonDeibert and the team he enables.

Ending the year with amazing news. Our Director @RonDeibert has been appointed to this year’s Order of Canada🇨🇦. He says, “it’s no secret that I’ve been critical of our lack of accountability around law enforcement but that doesn’t mean I’m not patriotic”. https://t.co/4Rzxdy4VYu

This holiday’s airline mess is a good reminder that most companies are one major operational issue away from discovering that they are, in fact, now software companies and need to invest & manage to this reality.

My dad was, for a period of time, a Volkswagen mechanic and this is a big part of my childhood.
