@bdognet No. But I will release a version of them in the next month. A lot has happened since those original posts. You will not be disappointed. 😀

@AlexTosheff @StephenSchmidt Thanks for the catch on Stephen's name. It is now fixed. PS: It's equating, not equivocating. Can I also blame autocorrect? :)

@peproctor I get the intent but feel this post misses the reality. Equivocating spend to risk management is easily argued-the cost of achieving best residual risk is often much higher than people wish. PS it’s @StephenSchmidt not Howard Schmidt (RIP) at AWS

"We didn't spend enough money on that." - Spoken by No CFO, ever So why do they do it with security? Cybersecurity Spending Does Not Equal Protection blogs.gartner.com/paul-proctor/2…

Did you know if you hold an ermine up to your ear, you can hear what it’s like to be attacked by an ermine?

@elonmusk I have always been a huge fan of your vision, execution, and business success. Especially the planned trip to Mars. When do you leave?

"Most executives treat security like magic and the CIO is like a wizard that casts protection spells ... This approach has not served us well. You're being hacked daily. Ransomware is a business model — and business is good." @peproctor, at #GartnerSYM

Vegetarian roulette.

Take-Two very sad to announce hack and viral release of awesome video from unreleased video game that has led to multiple stories in large news outlets and… wait a minute… wsj.com/articles/take-…

Maybe I shouldn’t drink this.

Ummm… not really.

⁦@defcon⁩ Does DT know someone at Twitter? There is no way this just “happened.”

One of the most relevant conversations at #gartnersec - Fireside Chat with Equifax: Evaluating Cyber Risk in the Boardroom Thanks as always for your leadership, @JamilFarshchi! And, we need more Board members like John McKinley! Props to @peproctor for…lnkd.in/gJdDerte

Gartner security and risk management keynote underway in National Harbor, MD.

@Beaker @wendynather You’re killing me. Apparently you’re going to try. Lucky for me, I don’t skydive, and it’s well known, I don’t take vendor briefings.

This should be illegal. I’ve heard of “meet your customer where they are,” but “brief your analyst where they are massaged” seems a bridge too far. Well played, @wendynather but now you’ve set a bar that can’t be unset. I hear @peproctor likes skydiving, so…

The “firsts” just keep on coming. First time I put on a suit in 2.5 years. First time on a plane in 2.5 years. First Fronterra Torta at ORD in 2.5 years.

Serious question. Why did the WSJ choose this as 1 of 13 stories in their US News section today? With photo highlight? wsj.com/articles/duke-…

Laptop bag update after 2.5 years: $350 cash, 25 Euros, an OV-Chipkaart for Amsterdam trains, my passport card, 2 more exploded batteries, expired Berocca, an instant coffee packet, and a packet of sugar in the raw.

Prepping for my first business travel in 2.5 years and I discovered that you can't leave a AAA battery in Bose QC15 headphones for 2.5 years.
