Lately, every BSides seems to have a talk on reframing security teams as a “Department of Yes” We don’t hear nearly as much about the value of a well-considered, strategically deployed “No” I've pulled together guidance on giving a better, more constructive No: ramimac.me/saying-no

How to Say “No” Well
Security’s pivot from ‘Department of No’ to ‘Department of Yes’ misses the real lesson - how to say ‘No’ the right way.

I've spent dozens of hours reading State of Cloud Security reports You know, the ones that use data from their CSPM product And I've realized the findings substantially reflect how well that tool helps customers secure their clouds I wrote up some examples, both good and bad (🔗 in 🧵)

I (finally) wrote up my thoughts on "Founder Mode" and the Brian Chesky morality tale about how he turned around Airbnb company culture. This has made it into the Silicon Valley water table; it must be dealt with. There are some good nuggets within; let's dig them out. charity.wtf/2024/12/17/f...

Somehow <50 people have caught this talk from Coinbase's CSO?? His core advice: 1. Make lives easier - e.g roll out yubikeys 2. Define Security Invariants 3. Plan & Practice IR 4. Balance Risks & Threats 5. Security is a People Problem - use focus groups for new controls! youtu.be/BPh4Hc3TH74

Interesting research out of AWS! > IAM-PolicyRefiner, a tool that automatically synthesizes refined AWS IAM access control policies from access logs > fast (<5s per policy), effective and does not overfit Not open source, but maybe a sign of things to come? assets.amazon.science/cf/bc/58e56f...

An empty feed is staring into the void... What you can expect to see here: * infrequent, but hopefully high signal posting * promoting and amplifying interesting security work (including dreaded self-promotion) * scaling security programs & cloud security * ironic(?) usage of scooby-doo ramimac.me
