An absolutely phenomenal game and probably the best game I had the privilege of attending. From amazing fights in the first period, to a backboard glass completely shattering delaying the game for at least 30 mins, and a nailbiter ending, you can’t ask for better hockey!

@IAMERICAbooted They never are… sadly

Why use the person who can hit grand slams when you've got plenty of people who can bunt?

[Aaron Boyd @ics_blitz]

👀 hope to see you there!

📣 BSides Calgary 2025: Keynote Announcement Update! 📣

We're very excited to update our last keynote announcement, an amazing keynote panel!
ICS Security Management, a Business Perspective from Former Front-liners

With ICS Experts: Ashif Samnani, Pamela Pouliot, Austin Scott, Paul Smith, Herman Lee, and Paulo Silva, VCP PCNSE hosted at Bow Valley College

Annual threat reports from industry thought leaders like Dragos, Waterfall and Mandiant confirm that cyber-physical attacks are increasing at an exponential pace. While smaller in raw numbers, the consequences can be significantly higher. The increase is only part of the story and just one more aspect to the risk management challenges facing decision makers responsible for businesses heavily reliant on industrial control systems.

BSides audiences are most likely familiar with the current and emerging ICS threat landscape. Less understood is how these threats are balanced against the multitude of other operational realities such as high capital costs, workforce skill management, regulatory oversight, operational safety, reliability and financial obligations to shareholders.

@dnvr_is_burning Taco Bron closed as well. Yesterday was their last day. Damn shame to compare the area now to what it was even 10 years ago..

@d0rkph0enix Flaccid lap pinkies. You never cease to amaze and if you ever decide to kickstart one of those daily calendars with jokes or thoughts of the day, I’ll gladly support.

@NathanMcNulty @kerberoasting @EricaZelic Just for my own confirmation, this is only displaying when MFA is reset (i.e., force user to re-enroll) or a user enrolling in MFA for the first time, correct? It wouldn't necessarily capture or display when a new method is added since it's not necessarily a registration event?

[Aaron Boyd @ics_blitz]

@NathanMcNulty @kerberoasting @EricaZelic Can't say that I've seen a case where the logs were just missing from Entra, but the limitation of only being able to display the last month is mainly what I was referring to. Like you also said though, UAL on the other hand.. who knows 😅

[Aaron Boyd @ics_blitz]

@EricaZelic @kerberoasting @NathanMcNulty Yeah, natively in azure it usually won’t let you view past 30 days and querying data via workbooks is wildly inefficient and inaccurate. It’s why I just ship logs to another log aggregator. Much less of a headache and has multiple different logs in a single pane of glass.

[Aaron Boyd @ics_blitz]

@techspence Not impossible. Takes time, confidence, and some outside the box thinking. I’ve done it at current employer and former ones with success.

[Aaron Boyd @ics_blitz]

@hddenver1 @jeffhunt Well, I’m pleased to say you won’t be shocked then. None of us are happy about this or pleased. We do speak up, we do vote, we do write letters, we do voice concerns, they just don’t listen. They are chasing dollars and ensuring they get to keep riding the gravy train next term.
