@LitMoose We went on the “Underground Tour” in Seattle today. Our tour guide was, I am convinced, your long-lost sister. Separated at birth?

CrowdStrike is actively working with customers impacted by a defect found in a single content update for Windows hosts. Mac and Linux hosts are not impacted. This is not a security incident or cyberattack. The issue has been identified, isolated and a fix has been deployed. We refer customers to the support portal for the latest updates and will continue to provide complete and continuous updates on our website. We further recommend organizations ensure they’re communicating with CrowdStrike representatives through official channels. Our team is fully mobilized to ensure the security and stability of CrowdStrike customers.
Recommended read for anyone in DFIR. Epic set of intrusions involving a very determined and creative adversry. crowdstrike.com/blog/analysi…
Got out of Orlando while the getting was good. Thanks for the good times, and best of luck to all those sticking behind to ride out the hurricane! #infosecworld

I was working someplace as a temp that had serious network deficiencies. I went to the bookstore during lunchtime and bought "Networking for Dummies." Learned this and other stuff, and thus a career in IT (and now infosec) was born!

Microsoft, in accordance with NIST, endorses nixing periodic password change requirements -- in no uncertain terms:
"Periodic password expiration is an ancient and obsolete mitigation of very low value." OUCH! blogs.technet.microsoft.com/…
Big vote of confidence for CrowdStrike's incident response services from Forrester this week. Very exciting to see. crowdstrike.com/blog/crowdst…
Forbes has a nice write-up on CrowdStrike's Global Threat Report. The content regarding the centrality of speed in a good cyber strategy is worth considering.

The minimum amount of information security knowledge required to be a "basic practitioner" has ballooned in the last several years. If you're feeling impostor syndrome creeping in, remember that learning basic infosec *IS* harder today than it used to be. Keep chugging along!
CrowdStrike’s VP of Services Tom Etheridge, remarks that companies don’t spend enough time training top officials and executives on #cyber threats facing their companies. Read more about the reasons security awareness programs go wrong via @DarkReading ow.ly/Go8g30lxR8B
YES! I kept telling this to customers who would say they needed us to help them comply with the NIST Cyber Security Framework. There's no such thing as "compliance" with the CSF. You merely align your program to it as a... framework.

Wow, amazing endorsement of CrowdStrike from Gartner! The blog post emphasizes that CrowdStrike is the top choice for "lean-forward" organizations, but note that it was also #2 and #3 (out of 21) for the other types of orgs.
