I enjoyed your talk. All the assumptions are lies! Verify everything!

Bumped into @hacks4pancakes.com at #CyberCon and she was very gracious.

Microsoft would like customers to choose Sentinel as the core of their security strategy, but what that choice entails remains unclear. https://www.forbes.com/sites/justinwarren/2025/10/13/microsoft-positions-sentinel-for-agentic-security/

On my way into #CyberCon In Melbourne. Let's see what the local vibes are. Hopefully not too much LLM nonsense.

I will be at the amusingly named CyberCon in Melbourne for the next few days. If you see me around the venue, do say hello.

it's kinda weird that all the software i am expected to use for work are all written by distributed teams, go, python, postgres, linux, chrome, k8s etc

and despite being told "the best teams work in an office together" i don't know of any software i use that's actually written that way

Good roundtable discussion at #TFDx about Microsoft Sentinel and its potential. Seems a little early and more investigation will be needed before firms choose to make a strategic investment in Sentinel as their single point of success. It could be quite useful.

Then again, Deloitte did just get caught giving a report full of GenAI fiction to a government agency. #TFDx

I don't really want an LLM-based generator, though. I want something using more traditional machine learning and a templated rules engine. I wouldn't expect to be allowed to "hallucinate" to the board more than once. #TFDx

It seems the components are there in the graph data view to do a kind of pre-mortem for potential security incidents that could generate most of a budget request to go fix things… or make it clear that executives knew what would happen if they "accept the risk". #TFDx

The goal is to have Sentinel hold all the data, and people can access the same data on the platform via different tools. But if you are a particular persona (like a security ops center analyst) you'd use one tool (Defender in this case). #TFDx

When the second case of a lawyer getting caught using synthetic text extruding machines hit the news, I wondered: Don't these people gossip?? I would have thought the first case would be so embarrassing as to make things very clear.

Watched the #SBS #documentary "The People vs #Robodebt" - h/t to @jpwarren.pivotnine.com for the recommendation.

It's an incisive and damning view of the human harms perpetrated by a government hell-bent on efficiency & stigmatising welfare recipients.
