.@GoogIeSecurity Jesus - get your heads out of your A$$es. mywhofoundation.com/ is a FAKE Job SCAMMING SITE. We've REPORTED it to you dozens and dozens of times. Put it in SafeBrowsing for the love of God!!
Hope barrage engaged! There have been *lots* of gains. - We have a seat at the table. Security used to have to beg to be heard, it's now universally part of any org - We are talking/thinking about things better (look at ATT&CK!) - it is drastically harder to take over systems 1

The longer I work in Cybersecurity, the more I continue to see people undervaluing fundamental IT Architectural concepts . . .simplicity, lack of config burden, non reliance on manual processes . . . things that are absolutely security considerations . . .

(4/4) @EpicGames just sites "security reasons." The result: I will have to buy fortnight AGAIN to associate it with a child @PlayStation account. My son will be furious with me - he'll lose all his achievements in Fortnight. Maybe I'll just go buy an Xbox one. Shame on you both.
(3/4) . . . a different @playstation account. And I cannot convert his original playstation account to a child account and designate a new "family manager." @EpicGames just keeps saying "we can't re-link his EpicGames account to a different playstation account." No explanation...
(2/4) ...no where did it say "PARENTS: Make sure the first account set up on this PS4 is not for your child!" in BIG FLASHING LETTERS! Now, I'm trying to set up Parental controls for my son on the @PlayStation - but I "CANNOT" according to @EpicGames assign his account to . . .
Buckle up folks. I'm naming and shaming today. Why? Because @PlayStation and @EpicGames are screwing with my son, Deck. He's 9 and he likes to play Fortnight on the PS4. When my wife set up his playstation account (I was out of town on business) . . . (1/4)
Don't be RFC ignorant! Looking at you @Cloudflare Thanks for showing me you are not a vendor I should advise my employer or clients to use.

Directly shoehorning cloud providers to fit your on-prem network architecture is a great way to waste a ton of $, time and create byzantine complexity. It isn't worth it. Don't forklift your ancient on prem net arch into the cloud. Start fresh from zero trust. Think critically.

Statements like "We aren't getting any more staff, but we're going to lead technological change, automation and innovation in the business going forward." to overworked staff, does not inspire; it depresses. Where will the time come from. what changes will make this feasible?

Have an Iphone? Go to Settings->Privacy->Location Services->System Services->Significant Locations. If it is on, look at the list. Are you ok with apps potentially tapping into this list of everywhere you've been (with your phone?) You sure? #privacy

An analogy in Infosec is the analyst that sees only incoming attacks against their web servers & therefore decides that purchasing a WAF should have highest priority
