I've been looking forward to @BlueTeamCon@infosec.exchange all year, and it's finally almost here! Hitting the road to Chicago in the morning!

mastodon 4.8.0-alpha.3+glitchI accidentally became the CISO. I didn't want this job, but the job chose me. I'm scared, and I want to go home.

I'm wearing my avatar like a name tag. If you see me wandering around, please say hello!
The network install in the new camper turned out well. 😎
My defcon experience continued at the airport, chatting with another attendee at the bar in the terminal. 🤣🎉
I’m building a slide deck for a career day presentation about cybersecurity to a bunch of 8th graders. I obviously need more cyber memes. Please reply with any of your favorites that might be relevant to a career day talk. 🙏
I finished the last class for my business degree a week and a half ago. I'm finally graduating, and I can stop feeling like a fraud. It hasn't completely sunk in yet, though.
I'm so tired of terrible customer experiences.

@mttaggart@infosec.exchange @ipsquiggle@sunny.garden I like that, too.
This is a really interesting topic. Philosophical conversations are fun. Too bad they are almost impossible to have via social media. Best over good food and beverages.
A good friend of mine was affected by the layoffs at Cisco. If anyone needs a fantastic graphic designer with deep UX, security industry, and startup experience, ping me. Austin based.
The old saying, “Clean it like you are going to sell it, and then you won’t want to,” is apparently true for RVs, too. 🤣😭
Well. I didn’t screw anything up today.
I have always wanted to do a series about what riding a motorcycle taught me about being a CISO. Now I’m thinking I also need to do a series on what being a CISO taught me about RVing. 🤣🤔
My wife just said I should go to defcon this year. I guess I better make plans before she changes her mind.
Congratulations, sir. Since you are the CEO, you get to decide which AI will replace you.
Sure, I'm happy to help with that, but keep in mind that I'm probably the most expensive administrative assistant you'll ever have.
So many SMB “conferences” are super spammy. I’m looking for a community conference event for SMBs focused on topics like business fundamentals, finance, operations, supply chain, etc… with an eye to efficiency, risk management, resilience, and cybersecurity. Does this exist?

@mttaggart@infosec.exchange The age old two-masters problem.
My friends will be like "so, I had an interesting day today," and I honestly never know what's going to come next.
As a perfectionist, it kind of sucks that you learn more by being wrong than being right.
No, it isn't an April Fools joke. That really is your invoice.
I was once asked in a job interview if I “thought I could handle a RAID 5” and I still think about that sometimes. 🤣🤷♂️
Buys new RV, immediately rips it apart. 🤣😬
Ahh yes, that perpetual feeling of being almost caught up with everything in life.
Do you need a security assessment this fall? My company offers framework assessments, risk assessments, and tabletop exercises. At the moment, we have openings in September and October. Reach out to learn more and snag a spot on the schedule!!
I really should not be left unsupervised.
That moment when you find out that your current events are in your kids' history book...
I'm bummed. We were supposed to leave today for a short camping trip in the new rig, but had to cancel. With all the rain lately, our yard is too soggy to drive on the get the camper out. 😭
We have been talking about the Digital Transformation for 20+ years now, and many organizations still haven’t gotten that right. The world is barreling full speed ahead into the AI Transformation, while still saddled with Digital Transformation problems. 👀😬
If Excel is the second best tool for everything, what is AI?
I'm so glad we never got goats.
After three weeks of working from the RV in 7 different states, this Spacelink thing is pretty amazing. Yes, there are problems, but I think it is incredible from both an engineering and a UX perspective.

@alevsk@infosec.exchange @Sempf@infosec.exchange This is brilliant, but holy hell, my PTSD was triggered by the end of the morning briefing! 🤣😭
Ok folks, don’t forget! I’ll be live streaming the recording session of another episode of @mindfulsmbshow@infosec.exchange today at 3:00pm Eastern. We are talking about business drivers and goals for AI and taking “callers” from the audience. Tune in and call in!!
Replying to @bakachu@infosec.exchange
@bakachu@infosec.exchange that’s the plan, now. Need to do a “shake down” trip before we hit the road for 3 weeks soon.
Replying to @Viss@mastodon.social
@Viss@mastodon.social it’s the Max BR1 Mini 5G.
Replying to @timoj@mastodon.online
@timoj@mastodon.online No, I bought a Peplink to use with a Roamlink multi-carrier 5G plan. The peplink has a nice WAN prioritization interface for mobile setups. I’m using it to front end the unifi firewall router. It selects between Starlink, 5G, and WiFi as WAN and then feeds the unifi.
Replying to @clueax@infosec.exchange
@clueax@infosec.exchange I will use this one for sure.
Replying to @paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange
@paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange when you put it that way, it sounds like a strategy! 🤣😭
RE: @mindfulsmbshow@infosec.exchange
I needed a bit of a break, but I'm stoked to get back to the show. Exciting things ahead! 👇
Fundamentals, fundamentals, fundamentals.
A good friend of mine has re-launched his UX/design consulting firm. If any of you know anyone building products or SaaS apps and that needs help with UX and UI design, he's great. Tons of experience with security products. https://agentuxlab.com/
Replying to @drapermache@infosec.exchange
@drapermache@infosec.exchange it was actually my first time out, too. Such a great time all around!
Oh, look! Shel Silverstein predicted gen AI.
If you listen to podcasts, what are the formats of your favorite shows? Are there certain things that make the format work particularly well for each?
I need a firm but professional way to tell someone to “get over yourself”.
RE: @mindfulsmbshow@infosec.exchange
For the remainder of the year, we'll be exploring how to implement AI safely in small organizations.
Who am I going to see at defcon next week? I’m finally making it out!
RE: @mindfulsmbshow@infosec.exchange
I'm doing a special AI implementation playbook series on my podcast with Mike Simmons from Find My Catalyst. As always, I'm looking for callers to participate in the show! If you're interested, let me know!
At 3:00pm Eastern, catch the livestream of my call-in-radio style podcast! @zackkorman@techhub.social joins me to answer questions about how organizations can learn about AI safely. We’ll take questions/comments from the live audience. Focivity dot com slash podcast for links!!

For some reason, I'd have expected to be at a Metro station.
