It’s @hulloferries 2nd day of operations. They’ve not sailed yet from what I can tell. Off to a @BCFerries level of auspiciousness I see.

An #ISOInternalAudit gives an assurance that the management system and its procedures are compliant with the standard's criteria. #Compliance doesn't have to be painful. With @TrustVanta, see how we can make it simpler and faster. https://t.co/FaAa04zmKB

I love this quote “Barbie is a prompt, not a script”. Wisdom for the ChatGPT and older ages.

The average cost of a #databreach continues to rise, and it concerns organizations of all sizes. Knowing what you want to protect is the first step, next is to understand how to protect them. #MFA is a good starting point. Rewatch our MFA webinar https://t.co/Iu9t1pb0xg

We are so proud of the achievement Minutebook has made! The team understands how important it is to protect their data from the get-go. With a #SOC2 certification, they are able to demonstrate compliance to customers and partners. Check out the case study.https://t.co/uWyrEaBDkU

@bettersafetynet @InfosecGoon Helpful vs needed are two different things.

I don’t need to be a mechanic to drive a car, but it’s helpful knowledge.

We are thrilled to hear that https://t.co/F7WzXWIkmy achieved #ISO27001 earlier in May! It was great working with such an aspiring team on their #compliance journey and a pleasure to partner with @trustvanta!

@elonmusk @TimSweeneyEpic Seriously. Your companies can figure out how to land rockets on drone ships, interface with the human brain and self drive vehicles across the US but thwarting web scrapers is beyond you?

Love the comments here. Everyone is surprised somehow about long weekend crowds, and expect BC Ferries to magically be able to - I don’t know - conjure up extra capacity.

There’s realities to burst travel on ferries that nobody seems willing to accept.

NEW - It is a 6 sailing wait to get from Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay right now. They are now ticketing for the 6pm. It is a 4 sailing wait from Tsawwassen to Duke Point. It is a 3 sailing wait from Horseshoe Bay to Depature Bay. #bcpoli

Huge news from 🇨🇦 Minister of Immigration @SeanFraserMP!

6 new immigration programs to bring more tech talent to Canada.

Well done 💪 🚐

This is absolutely bananas.

There is NOTHING like this on the instrumental record. Its likely impact is probably immeasurable.

But is it leading our news bulletins & on newspaper front pages?

Nope.

Summer is a time for holiday but threat actors don’t rest. Here are some tips:
- Take essential measures to ensure adequate coverage when you have fewer staff
- Get your #incidentresponse plan and ensure everyone is on the same page
- Educate everyone on the team
