I'm truly grateful for what I've learned and who I've met on Twitter, but I'm out. Please follow me at https://t.co/L386vmjRDg or https://t.co/Ff9ghoUQyI for future updates.

So excited to be doing two sessions on API security at #GraylogGO next week. My first public talks as a Graylogger! 😀

Repeat after me: web/API standards are strong suggestions, not unbreakable natural laws

[Rob Dickinson @robfromboulder]

If you are using @trinodb and your workload involves INSERT, then you really wanna get on version 422. We're seeing ~50% improvements in INSERT times without any other changes 🤩

[resurfacelabs @resurfacelabs]

We have some exciting news! @graylog2 has acquired the @resurfacelabs API Security platform.

“I am thrilled to become a part of #Graylog & help contribute Resurface’s expertise in #APIsecurity to their innovative portfolio," says Founder @robfromboulder.

My best coding sessions have a strong meditation component, maybe the best secret perk of being a coder?

[Matt Konda @mkonda]

Needed to claim some mental space - something I often do with a little coding - so I started building a simple API with Elixir and wow, that is fun and easy. Curious to see where this goes.

In ep. 114 of @JamstackRadio, Brian (@bdougieYO) and Rob Dickinson (@robfromboulder) of @resurfacelabs unpack API security in depth, including insights on vulnerability scanning, data collection, observability, runtime security, and perimeter security. https://t.co/JTkwe9qjaZ

[Rob Dickinson @robfromboulder]

Thank you @trinodb and @starburstdata for hosting an amazing summit! A fabulous cross section of folks doing big things with big data 🐰

[Rob Dickinson @robfromboulder]

Many thanks to @trinodb team for all the recent security package updates in Trino & Airlift. Didn’t see this mentioned in release notes, but this is critical for security scans of Trino-based containers. Greatly appreciated!

[Rob Dickinson @robfromboulder]

Amazing how interest in API security is taking off. As an informal data point, I'm doing 3 podcasts just Thursday alone to talk about our most recent findings. This is increasingly "need to know" for any organization where APIs are present or planned.

[Trino @trinodb]

Today, we celebrate the thousands of contributors and users around the globe 🌎 in the #TrinoDB community! 🐇

Happy 10th Birthday! Without you, this #opensource distributed #SQL query engine would be nothing!

Anybody else wanna meet up at #BlackHat? -- first conference in a while where I'm not presenting, so will be fully in "let's hang" mode 🤷‍♂️

[apidays Global @APIdaysGlobal]

Some eye-opening #apisecurity stats from @robfromboulder’s #GlueCon talk about API security.

When @resurfacelabs deployed honeypot apps in the cloud…
⚠️ 100% of them were attacked
⚠️ Avg time from deploy to attack: 27 minutes
⚠️ Avg number of attacks: 154 per day/per endpoint

Live on Resurface web event: @mkonda on outdated security assumptions: "A firewall does not equal a moat."

[Matt Konda @mkonda]

Looking forward to discussing the art of API security with @barbmaclean @mkonda @robfromboulder this Thursday!

I'm presenting at #DevWeek2022 next week, and am able to offer free passes covering the whole event -- these are gonna go fast considering what you get for $0: https://t.co/NFM55Xq3GR

[Rob Dickinson @robfromboulder]

Getting cold-called about digital marketing or website design feels exactly like you're showing up to pitch me an electric car while on horseback.

"Not impacted by log4j/log4shell" is truly the geek flex of the week
