Coming out of Twitter retirement/lurking to second this. The military and defense industry working to gut key parts of UAPDA out of the NDAA very strongly indicates that there is _something_ being hidden from Congress and the people. Our GOV should not allow such darkness.
I promise not to ever talk about politics because I know very little about and I don’t follow it for my own mental health. An exception is when it comes to UAP/UFOs - I apologize as I know folks are polarized and get bombarded on everything but it’s one that regardless of there is or isn’t - we deserve to know and the government can’t keep it from its people. I’m not sold that there are aliens and skeptical because it’s all third hand, but without hurting defense capabilities if it’s super secret programs …is it us or is it something else. The time for disclosure is now. This is a bipartisan issue and needs to happen. Thank you @SenSchumer and @SenatorRounds.

This is a pretty rare thing here...bipartisan back and forth on the Senate floor between Sen. Schumer and Sen. Rounds as both express disappointment their UAP / UFO disclosure amendment was gutted, key provisions of it stripped out.

This is the attitude to have, right here. I have seen it both in and out of Infosec where equipment / tooling is severely under-provisioned by companies. Imagine an accountant who is in Excel all day every day who is only provided with a 14" laptop + sub-1080p mobile screen.
This is very true 😂 If there's one thing I'm always super honed in on it's making sure our folks have the best at all times to do their jobs. If that's investing in research, investing in tech, people, training, etc. - pays dividends in the future.

If your staff are making $100k+ and you can't provide the ~$1k screen setup to make their lives easier, something is off. I view the spend as a force multiplier - boosted productivity is worth it!
I'm sorry to report that working in Security is less "bleeding-edge malware research" and more "project manager for people who don't report to you."

New PagerDuty add-on to make sure the on-call analyst gets the tier 3 alert right away.

Perks of running your own company is you can add whatever you want. Introducing the Gran Siesta room at #TrustedSec. Massage chair and nap taking room.

I have a 🧵 about CISOs and CSOs and their fate. Get a cold drink or maybe a cuppa, as this is a long one. 1/32

Interested if this is found.
Do we have a Threat Hunting Discord where we can share: EDR queries Log sources Correlation opportunities Detection ideas Etc. Wondering if there's already a "decent" Discord server around this concept out there.

💫 Detection engineers and threat hunters - this is a big deal! You love to see this... I couldn't agree more with their statement! (elastic.co/blog/continued-le…) 🗣️📢 Being open to detecting methods is the way to go. Security through obscurity isn’t security...

This is a nice way to distill down the distinctions between some of these buzzwords!
The difference between SIEM and XDR parallels the difference between MSSP and MDR. XDR evolves EDR to add more context. However, instead of going all out - letting in whatever logs, fulfilling whatever use cases (D&R, compliance, etc)… 1/n

How much is a SANS cert now? $7K? Maybe they should sit this one out.

Long thread but serious talk. Seeing a massive problem in the security industry today. We have brand new candidates lacking "hands on" experience coming into the workforce and finding it extremely difficult to find a job. 1/10
