RIP to the legend Joseph Nye He was best known for coining “soft power”. This was his comment about my talk at his symposium jointly hosted by Harvard & MIT that covered Microsoft’s first bug bounty program, which planted the seed of Hack the Pentagon. hks.harvard.edu/faculty-resear…

Did you go to #RSAC? Did you read some of the industry reports? As threats become more pervasive, the 1 constant is the pressure to do more with less. Security maturity & strategic planning is key to surviving the pinch between the rock of fixed budgets & hard place of attacks.

When I testified before US Congress about the Uber data breach when they misused their bug bounty program to pay off data thieves, I didn’t think I would have to update my core guidance to include this: Don’t let extortionists set your bounty reward price. Coinbase was *right*

There will be significant effects on national security from these CISA budget & personnel cuts. There has also been a general sharp downturn in cyber spending & jobs across the board in the private sector. The net effect is a nation weakening as attacks increase.

"AI isn't coming for everybody's job — it's coming for the jobs of people who don't learn to use AI." I don't think he means for that to come off as a threat, but it is. Here's the deal. We all should benefit from AI, whether we choose to use it or not, our work helped train it
