Written with contributions from Bert Amodol and Jason Santamaria.  Turning every conversation into a word salad of acronyms wasn’t bad enough. Now, we’re taking words that have one meaning and assigning a different meaning. This must stop! First, it was “agent.” This always meant a piece of software that was installed on a computer. Now it means an autonomous system that can take goals, plan steps and carry out actions across multiple systems. Second is “Governance.&rdqu... read more.

You're using the same password for your bank, your email, and that pizza rewards app you signed up for in 2019 to save $2 on breadsticks. Those breadsticks may end up being very expensive. Here's why reusing passwords is basically handing a master key to every burglar on the internet and why they don't even have to work hard to use it. The math is brutal. The attackers are lazy. That's the scary part. When a company gets breached, and companies get breached constantly, attackers take those username/passw... read more.

Written with contributions from Bryon Singh, Director of Security Operations, RailWorks Corporation In Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Earth’s heroes don’t lose because they lack power—they lose because they’re disorganized. Some fight in New York, others in Wakanda, others in space. Each group acts with good intent, but without centralized coordination, gaps appear—and Thanos exploits them. That is the exact problem CIS Safeguard 10.6: Centrally Manage Anti-Malware Software i... read more.

Monday 5/18 AI is moving fast. Your infrastructure needs to keep up. (Citrix) The more AI expands across the business, the harder it becomes to manage. Who has access to what models? How much is it actually costing? What happens when sensitive data ends up in a prompt that wasn’t supposed to be there? These aren’t hypothetical concerns — they’re the operational realities that organizations are running into as AI scales from a handful of pilots to something much larger. https://www... read more.

So anyway, let me tell you about the robots. In 1950, Detroit employed over 220,000 auto workers. Good union jobs. Good wages. By 1970, half of them were gone. Not to Mexico. Not to China. To robots and assembly line automation that simply didn’t need much human labor. By 1982, another 400,000 jobs disappeared in just four years. Cities hollowed out. Communities devastated. Here’s the part that surprised me. Cars didn’t get cheaper. All that productivity. All that automation. A robot-ho... read more.

Written with contributions from Bryon Singh, Director of Security Operations, RailWorks Corporation In Ocean’s Eleven (2001), the casino isn’t protected by a single impenetrable vault. Instead, it relies on layers of controls—motion sensors, pressure floors, timed locks, and human oversight. The brilliance of the heist is that it only succeeds when multiple safeguards are bypassed at once. If even one layer holds, the plan fails. That layered-defense mindset is exactly what CIS Safeguard... read more.

Monday 5/11 How we’re tackling Microsoft 365 Copilot governance internally at Microsoft (Microsoft) To ensure that proper data hygiene extends to AI-powered workflows, Microsoft designed Copilot to respect the sensitivity labels and data loss prevention (DLP) controls that organizations configure in their Microsoft Azure environment. That way, administrators can be confident that the right people and apps have access to the data they need, and that sensitive information doesn’t appear where it... read more.

Written with contributions from Bryon Singh, Director of Security Operations, RailWorks Corporation In the documentary Zero Days (2016), investigators explain how Stuxnet, one of the most sophisticated malware campaigns ever discovered, initially spread through infected USB drives. The systems it targeted weren’t connected to the internet. They were air-gapped. And yet, malware still got in—because removable media was trusted by default. That lesson is exactly why CIS Safeguard 10.4: Configure... read more.
