I accidentally became the CISO. I didn't want this job, but the job chose me. I'm scared, and I want to go home. https://www.accidentalciso.net

I'll need some audience volunteers to test the live caller workflow. If anyone is interested in helping me do some testing this week, let me know.

I can't afford therapy, so I'm just going to watch a bunch of standup comedy and come to grips with my trauma that way.

I have the opportunity to speak to a couple classes of 8th graders about cyber security for career day in a few weeks. What would you be sure to mention if you were me?

I’m dumber for having watched it.

I’m going to have to find an analysis video on YouTube later this week. I don’t speak Spanish, so I’m sure like 90% of it went completely over my head. 🀣😭

A line from a Veteran’s Day speech last year has stuck with me, and it’s worth sharing: β€œWhen civilization is at its worst, that is when we must be at our best.”

Civilization is made up of individuals. However small, our actions make a difference. Every interaction, every day.

Well, billable work is done for the day. I suppose I should go test my generator ahead of the impending winter doom.

It incorporates gamification challenges and also involves people in your support network to help you successfully achieve your goals. I love the approach! This app could help so many people.

A friend of mine has poured his blood sweat and tears into developing a really cool app called VAST Journey. I'm really impressed with it, and it would be great for ADHD and Autistic folks to help overcome day-to-day life challenges.

Do you ever look at a security tool and think, "why did they bother to build this?"

Modern marketing is inventing a problem and then selling a solution.

Well, this plan is either incredibly smart, or incredibly stupid. Let's do it.

I’m so glad I explicitly make Incident Response out of scope in my advisory contracts.

Why would they rest the turkey with an hour of cooking time left? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

That was my guess, but it seemed odd to me they left it just sit there for so long.

Ok, this may be a dumb question, but… In A Christmas Story, why would the turkey have been sitting on the table when it still had a hour to cook?
