Its the same at most orgs. Very rare for a vuln remediation program to utilize a truly risk based approach. They would have to trawl through and understand thousands of vulns and the context of your org. There's probably a market for some tool to accomplish this if the larger players haven't attempted already.

I think AI adoption is going to be catastrophic and my only hope is that we can slow down and tread carefully. Chances that occurs are slim. I'm certainly not pro AI. It just really angers me to see people still denying the impact.

This has been my experience as well. I see very bright people lampooning LLMs because it doesn't perform up to their expectations when they are easily in the top 1% of talent in their field. I don't think they understand the cognitive load in your average F500 role is NOT very high. Most people are doing jack shit.

It is. There are a few different methods. If the devices aren't configured to spoof their USB information they typically have manufacturer information in the usb device name, serial, or vendorID. Otherwise searching usb devices by the deviceclass they are using is another good indicator. I've found that these typically show as USB device class 01h (audio) and 08h (mass storage) which is kinda rare. Just have to filter through legitimate USB products.

Not particularly. The only thing I have noticed in the past decade is the decline of the "American Hacker". Most groups are foreign but will partner with younger Americans for social engineering (ex. Scattered Spider). You just don't have people like Albert Gonzalez/Stephen Watt in America now. However, I suspect that many American hackers have shifted to targeting overseas countries that are not friendly with the US.

It's radicalizing as a twenty something who hasn't had social media in over a decade. Almost everything revolves around it or some friend Discord server. I hate it.

I am suspicious of the acquisition and critical of its founders. But at the same time I'm sitting here looking a Wiz logs and dashboards. The product is certainly real.

Its typically used for detecting malware, detecting data loss prevention, or forensics. "Drive by crap like port scanning for sshd" isn't even relevant to why companies mitm SSL. And yes I see it detect but not stop active threats on a daily basis.

I don't know about rigged. But there is a lot of RTA (real time assistance) usage on the sites. Essentially clients that inform you of the best decisions to make according to GTO principles.

If they could drop their dependencies on Google Services for Seek I would be ecstatic. The identification works perfect but I would love to be able to view/post locations.

All 2FA is security theater.

Might be the worst take I have seen on this website. Anyone with first hand experience in corporate information security will not agree with you. Fact of the matter is 2FA stops majority of credential/phishing based attacks. Because majority of attackers are casting a wide net and will simply give up. Is it perfect? No. But to say its all security theater is ignorant.
