We need some help. We are going to work with a charity this year to send postcards to people who are socially isolated, e.g. people in care homes or hospices. Everyone will get a card in their bag that they can put a message on and then we will do the distribution.

Them: We are having trouble engaging with our devs and engineering communities. Me: What work have you done, are doing or planning to do to understand what their pain points might be? Them: Erm…um..uh. Once again folks, the weakest links are not who you always shout about.

I’ve had some junior folks say that they’re a bit intimidated to share their learning journeys in security because they weren’t sure if they had anything of value or new to share.

As soon as you stop addressing root causes and use technology as a way to somehow be the magic bullet you’re on to a whole load of crockery.

If they really cared about child welfare, they’d want to create a world where queer kids, and trans kids, and autistic kids, and abused kids and refugee kids are given comfort, support and opportunity to flourish too. It’s not about the kids. It never was.

You Augment your Intelligence with it, not outsource it all and expect magic. Watch your technology seduction or your intelligence will be in reduction. As always, be more discerning.

You have to be careful in how to trust estate agents, recruitment agents, special agents and now AI agents. Are they there to give you agency, support your existing agency or take it away from you. The danger is when you believe you have agency but don’t.

Just read that Peter Neumann has passed. He was one of the first people I read about back in the day. Here’s his page on the SRI site, it’s worth a peruse. Basically he was a don: www.csl.sri.com/~neumann/

One of the reasons the basics keep getting left behind is because those in power might think security is important but they don’t value it, no matter what they say. When you *Value* something you do what needs to be done to protect it. Value remains on revenue+profit until you get pwnd.

Prediction: Folks start using AI to help with their work, which they’ll be incentivised for. Which in turn leads to fewer colleague / peer interactions for support and guidance. Which in turn will lead to more silos. Soon your appraisal and 360s will be with an AI agent.
