@patricobandito @Gatlingferret @NoMansSky Same here - no better way to be a good traveler

[Ed Higgins @realEdHiggins]

Cloud, SaaS, and now AI workloads have completely changed the attack surface.

But most organizations are still using vulnerability management models built for a different era. 

I’m going to be sharing a practical approach to exposure management that aligns with how attackers operate today, what most shops need, and how your team can operationalize it quickly.

If your team is still measuring success by patch volume, it’s time to rethink the model. I’ll be breaking down how Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) helps security leaders prioritize real attack paths and validate risk reduction in real time. This is the direction the "resilience industry" is moving — and I’m excited to share what that looks like in practice.

How confident are you that your team’s covered around the clock?

More organizations are reassessing their visibility and triage processes, including those who leverage the extensive tooling within Microsoft’s security stack. The technology works great when configured correctly (operative words there) and you have the ability to monitor and act on the insights it provides.

Our Security Readiness Quiz (below) shows how your coverage compares to peers and highlights where to focus next.

And if you’re looking for guidance beyond the score, behind Spyglass® MDR stands White Glove, the silent hero who exposes hidden weaknesses and helps your team stay steps ahead of emerging threats.

@checker202507 @BridgingNews_ That's correct. About 2 hours average per plane to revert to a last previous version (that's their plan). That's 12,000 hours. Then same time again, to apply the corrected/fixed update during a planned/scheduled maintenance window.

@edskoudis @TenableSecurity @ayoran What a sad day... RIP Amit. My condolences and prayers of comfort for Amit's family during this difficult time.

[Ed Higgins @realEdHiggins]

Saddened by the news of Amit Yoran's passing. Amit challenged the cybersecurity community and me to be better. He will be missed. My prayers are with his family during this difficult time. His passion and legacy lives on! RIP @ayoran #DHS #Riptech #Netwitness #RSA #CIS #Tenable

@SteveSkojec Drones? HELLO!!!!

Drones? HELLO!!!

[Steve Skojec @SteveSkojec]

OK, I wrote a post on this yesterday, but it's time for a New Jersey drones thread with some of the evidence I've been collecting from afar. If you want to know what's going on, start here. 🧵👇

What better way to celebrate #CyberSecurityAwarenessMonth than to share some cybersecurity awareness.

Deploy MFA (multi-factor authentication) for every employee in your company. Everyone!

SMS/TXT is better than nothing, but MFA that uses an Authenticator App is better!

My PII was among three (3) significant data breaches. Yet nary a disclosure letter: I found out about them from my friend @troyhunt at @haveibeenpwned. Thank you!

[Troy Hunt @troyhunt]

Data breach disclosure: there are so many cases where victims aren't notified, and there are legal carveouts exempting orgs from doing so, even if you're in a part of the world where you think you *have* to be notified. It sucks, and it's wrong; more: https://t.co/PRY5o0CJM5

[Ed Higgins @realEdHiggins]

@stostig @wizdude @troyhunt that is 100% correct. it will stay in BSOD'ing loop until the manual intervention takes place. Crowd's CEO left this part out of his US news appearances and lots of folks early US morning were waiting for the magic-reversal-fix to kick in...

[Ed Higgins @realEdHiggins]

Some remediation guidance related to the @Microsoft outage caused by @CrowdStrike update issue. It's been a halladay for sure - hang in there, contact us at Quisitive (@BeQuisitive) if you need assistance.

https://t.co/IOE2sypp3n

[Ed Higgins @realEdHiggins]

@wizdude @stostig @troyhunt Correct. It's door #1. But the only way to fix a BSODing device is by manual intervention. It's gonna be a long day/weekend for our IT brethren...

[Ed Higgins @realEdHiggins]

@troyhunt There's a workaround for non-cloud MSFT respurces (on ptem iaas, etc) but it's manual (aka lot of inteventions). Fix summarized as 1) Safeboot,, 2) remove the bad file, 3) reboot. See and share the workaround in this picture... Godspeed mates.

[Ed Higgins @realEdHiggins]

A Falcon update from @CrowdStrike has causes a global @Microsoft outage. If you have affected #Windows devices failing with #BSOD (blue screen of death) then try the following workaround steps.
