Teacher asks students to get AI to write a report for them, then research all the ways it's wrong. Thoughts?

Do you think the industry is better or worse at secure development now than it was 5 years ago? Why? Why not? #talkappsectome

Can someone help me find a version of this image without the text so I can make my own dumb meme of it? I tried doing google's search by image, but it only found more memes. Thoughts? How does one search that way? Or am I out of luck?

Guess who overdid it a bit at the gym and has a sore shoulder today? 😊 But guess who's also not giving up? Anyone need a bit of motivation today? In case you forgot: YOU CAN DO IT!

Important question for software developers: what do you wish you knew more about in regard to creating more secure software? If you could suddenly know something, like Neo in the matrix, what would it be?

I will see if I can help.

Software Supply Chain: Bigger (and Scarier) Than We Realize - a blog post by meeeeeee!

If all the tools in your cyber security tool set formed a band, what would they be called? And what type of music would they play? Mine would be called Bleeding Endpoint, and they would play alt metal.

We, as an industry, need to start giving very specific and clear advice, if we want to have better outcomes. No more high level, vague, and ambiguous advice please. #SpecificSecurity #BeSpecific

I post on #CyberMentoringMonday when I remember to, and I’m happy to help out students as well! I’m not a CISO or founder or anything exciting and glamorous, but I’ve got a decade of experience building software and another 6 years securing it.

When should security not block a release? Or should it never block? What is worthy of a block? Or, should we have fixed things before the CI? What are your thoughts? #talkappsectome
