I'll keep my account as a reminder of the amazing connections I've made here, but I won't be active going forward.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

After much reflection, I've decided to step away from Twitter/X. Over the past two years, I've grown increasingly uncomfortable with the platform's shift towards content that promotes misinformation, discrimination, and division—ideologies that clash with my core values.

[Randy Roberts @robertsrandy]

I believe in fostering a society that uplifts all communities, especially those marginalized. Recent events have only made the harmful impact of this culture more apparent. In good conscience, I cannot continue to engage on Twitter/X as it stands today.

@StephandSec Move to Tulsa. Help build @BlackTechStree1.

My job includes hosting great conversations with wonderful people from industry and the inspiring Ph.D. students in the University of Tulsa & Team8 Cyber Fellows initiative. Watching students present with such ease and confidence gives me great hope for future cyber leadership.

[TU Cyber Fellows @TU_CyberFellows]

Jerry Geisler (@JerryRGeisler), senior vice president and chief information security officer for @Walmart  and member of the TU Board of Trustees, joined the TU-Team 8 Cyber Fellows on March 24 for a lively discussion on a broad range of topics.

I am proud to have hosted this talk with Samuel Visner for the Cyber Fellows at The University of Tulsa. Mr. Visner is an impressive leader willing to help grow the next generation of cyber leaders.

@SamuelVisner, Tech Fellow, @MITREcorp, met with @utulsa & @team8group Cyber Fellows Friday, Feb 3. Mr. Visner asked two questions: What is at stake in the protection of our space systems from cyber attack? What is industry doing to protect these systems? #TUCyberFellows #cyber

@samwcyo @_specters_ @bbuerhaus @xEHLE_ @iangcarroll @sshell_ @infosec_au @NahamSec @rez0__ @samwcyo - I hope you and the team are considering participation in the CyberTruck Challenge. https://t.co/4DfPqMn7iq

very nice. also very useful for disinformation. as usual, tech is generally neutral, but the users generally are not.

Researchers at Cornell University have recently brought the live avatar technology to the megapixel resolution

They also progressed the "cross-driving synthesis" challenge i.e. producing an animated image from a significantly different source image

We are midway through Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Need help getting some good awareness info out to your organization? I recommend you look at the high-quality materials the National Cybersecurity Alliance provides.

What do TU-Team8 Cyber Fellows do outside of studying, researching, and writing papers? They work with the local community to help the next generation become cyber-aware. Read this blog post by Cyber Fellow Samantha Phillips about her experience

[Randy Roberts @robertsrandy]

This is a great job with a group doing wonderful work to grow cyber in Tulsa. Conor Godfrey is a committed and thoughtful leader. Please contact him to discuss the work.
