Support Engineer @ strongDM. I make the difficult easy. IAM, PAM, & other AMs is what I AM.

Had a great first @sagetapio experience.

Tech Speed-Dating never worked so well!

Missed Connection - Jimmy, VP of Cloud Security - we liked you! We can 100% help with those objections! It's what we do!

(The odds he ever sees this are less than 0, but you still gotta try...)

Started writing a Reference Architecture document to supplement our otherwise GORGEOUS docs at https://t.co/5iNX53GjHd.

This RA doc has morphed into "A technical oral history of @strongdm, as told by its 26th employee."

So much history! Such technical! Very localhost!

I saw this from a man named Justin Moore, who lost his job at @Google in the layoffs.

It resonated and I HAD to steal it for myself:

"I'll lay me down and bleed a-while,
And then I'll rise and fight again."

Thanks, Justin, and good luck.

PCI DSS is critical to payment processors.

I’ve recently come to fully understand how PCI DSS fits with #strongdm. I can show you how to deliver the Best Practices(TM) with @strongdm, reducing friction while keeping your auditor(s) happy with observability.

We’re ready to help!

Went to @Grrcon, won the #COVID19 prize. Came back two Saturdays ago. First day back feeling >= 80%.

3x(vax)’d, first infection a year ago & STILL got deep into my chest. 91-2% O2 saturated ain’t no joke.

Now to catch up on missed Slacks, emails, some calls & write some code.

“What is a serverless compute doing in this cloud environment? What is the network topology? How is this serverless compute talking to my RDS instance with access to private customer data?" Great convo on @securityblvd's #cloudsecurity roundtable w/ @birbal81 @sdmgreg @mvizard

[Greg - Solutions Architect, strongDM @sdmgreg]

@birbal81 Ping Pong all day.

Hey @yubico! Going through my swag bag from #gartner #IAM.

Forgot you gave me my favorite sticker of the whole conference!

Applied to my favoritest one forever.

I swung by the booth in the last 15 minutes Day 2. One of your guys there gave me the last one.

Thanks again!

@AditGoyal12 @StarTrek @MikeMcMahanTM So much love and appreciation of canon.

Was not a fan of ‘Lower Decks’ initially, but now it’s my favorite behind ‘Strange New Worlds.’

Great stuff. Can’t wait for the DS9 episode(s) to come.

[Greg - Solutions Architect, strongDM @sdmgreg]

Gonna nerd out here for a moment.

@startrek Lower Decks just showed us Dolphin Ops. That…was… excellent. Nicely done, @MikeMcMahanTM.

Seriously.

That’s awesome.

[Greg - Solutions Architect, strongDM @sdmgreg]

No… way… They’re adapting the PS5 shortage story for @netflix ?!

Can’t wait for #PS5TheMovie!

Amazing! Movie will be out before any store gets more PS5s…

(But for real: ‘Horizon Zero Dawn’ is one of the best games of the decade, if not ever. This has potential to be 👩‍🍳.)

[Michelle Lovretta @lovretta]

AHH! Looks like I can FINALLY talk about my next show 🤞!! An adaptation we're developing for Netflix.

More in a sec, but here' a SUPER SUBTLE hint 😇:

[Greg - Solutions Architect, strongDM @sdmgreg]

#Gartner was personally an amazing learning opportunity. What a great chance to better understand our current & future customers’ #IAM challenges.

I appreciate everyone there, taking us through their pain with #PAM & letting us demonstrate how we ease that burden at scale.

[StrongDM @strongdm]

Come visit the strongDM booth at the @Gartner_inc IAM Summit this week!
#GartnerIAMsummit #accessmanagement
Look at that strong group 👀 💪🏽!

Hey #DEFCON30 #defcon2022 attendees:

How was the total attendance?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Mainly @BuiltByJustin and @michaline

But other minds, too.

[Greg - Solutions Architect, strongDM @sdmgreg]

So jealous of everyone going to @defcon this weekend. I was supposed to go, but it didn’t pan out. Will be at #Gartner at Caesar’s the week of Aug 21, so if anyone at #defcon #defcon30 #defcon2022 wants to hide stickers around Vegas, I’d be down for a scavenger hunt in two weeks!

There’s an API key in your Github ENV secrets, Dear Liza, Dear Liza…

So delete it, Dear Henry, Dear Henry…

But my CICD will fail Dear Liza, Dear Liza…

So proxy the API w/ an API in a container so you can have an API in your API so you can CICD while you CICD Dear Henry…

[Greg - Solutions Architect, strongDM @sdmgreg]

We have a gorgeous new ‘Downloads’ page available at https://t.co/wXqisqt2Ah

It’s delicious.

I’ve said it before and I stand behind it now: @strongdm’s engineers are magicians. #peoplefirstaccess

@mikesir87 @rothgar If you’re State-side, and I try to never assume that here, Harbor Freight has these for pennies on the dollar. I pick these up in the various sizes I need, then cut out my own templates in the foam.
I’m happy to share more if you’ve got questions.

@DollyParton @TheOrville @SethMacFarlane @RenaOwen This was such a wonderful surprise. Bravo.

[Greg - Solutions Architect, strongDM @sdmgreg]

I’ve said in this role: “If you don’t learn something new everyday, you’ve missed an opportunity.”

I created a personal initiative document this. If it’s not internal-only to our ops, I’ll try to remember to share here.

Today? Hilariously - https://t.co/NEZ3FYxL07
