Shape the battlefield with what you have. Cybersecurity is (almost) always a logistical conversation first, followed by tactical and strategic decisions based on that. Most people would probably be shocked at how well a small team can shape the battlefield to devastating effect against an opponent.

come use my new service: ai for bros. we don't use tokens, we use brokens. it's totally different, and only measurable by me personally, creating a certain tax rate of zero.
Mark Cuban@mcuban

We should federally tax Tokens at the Provider level. Not a lot. Less than 50c per million tokens. It will accomplish 4 things (at least ) 1. It will push the big AI players to optimize tokenization, caching , routing and localization Which will 2. Reduce energy usage. Saving them in energy costs more than what they paid in tax and reducing strain created by the growth in energy consumption Which will 3. Generate maybe 10 billion dollars a year to start, but over the next ten years could grow 30x to 100x Which will 4. Create a source of funding to pay down the federal debt or deploy, in response to the things AI brings that we don’t expect or don’t like At some point the models will pass it on to customers. Of course. That’s ok. Customers will have the ability to choose between providers. Or to do everything using open source models locally. Thoughts ?

Live with @AccidentalCISO talking about AI security stuff. There’s a link somewhere. Someone share it in the replies. Also you can call in to ask questions (I think).

Yes. Herein lies the actual issue!!! In my experience and opinion what you are describing is an organization focused on Strategy and tries to make tactical decisions based on that strategy. Proper strategy needs data, instead of informing their strategy on the real logistical footprint of their organization, they feed it on shit KPIs, metrics, and other bad data to make bad tactical decisions.

@DecryptedTech also, i see orgs assess "Risk" all the time when "I see unmitigated initial access everywhere"

Seurity is largely a guessing game. It's all based on descriptive statistics and every org has too many extraneous variables to extrapolate any meaning or signifiant inferences. It's all technobabble imo :P
mRr3b00t@UK_Daniel_Card

Risk is based on probability and impact (and we can probably argue more variables but let's go with this).... because something could happen != it WILL happen. just because something might not happen != it's impossible.... however.... constraint is also a consideration. Binary risk thinking or treating everything as SUPER RISKY.... is a problem when it comes to: REALITY

@IAMERICAbooted Hahaha. So the AI is not completely wrong, but it misunderstands the issue (which is understandable give what they are trained on). ;-)

chatgpt says UI should have said this too make it more clear lol: “Security is mostly probabilistic pattern recognition in noisy environments. We often act like the data supports strong causal conclusions when in reality there are too many uncontrolled variables for high-confidence inference.”

@IAMERICAbooted I am sensing an oblique GenAI joke in there ;-) Still I do stand by my comment on building the right information profile and that far too many orgs use the worst possible data to do so and then do a shit job of using that data to build a "risk" profile.

Really happy that people in tech generally are beginning to reject the Cold War 2.0 propaganda about China pounded into their skulls early on where any cyber attack or threat actor is always assumed to be some vast Chinese nation-state conspiracy as if the US isn’t burning 0-days left and right, or y’know Stuxnet An excerpt from Professor Michael Parenti during the Cold War where the USSR was challenging US for hegemony still holds true where any data on a country governed by Communists is transformed and reframed as negative. “Free and open source AI ecosystem? It’s part of their evil plan!”

Oh no! US government, please help. Labs in China are making their models available to everyone for free. You must do something!

@Undoomed This is correct, the Sake belongs to Fuck so you must muse the possessive. This is the same as saying for the sake of fuck.

@DecryptedTech @NathanMcNulty Assuming we are talking about the same things I noticed a lot of their Uis will do this type of thing. If you check sign in logs for users in azure sometimes it will fail to load and result in “no sign ins” but in reality it just failed to load them and there were sign ins

Anyone else find App Governance to be highly inaccurate at times? Like I legit have used Microsoft Graph Command Line Tools multiple times a day for months... Anyway, long story short, it's supposed to be ingesting sing-in and Graph API logs, but I don't fully trust it...

Defender for Cloud Apps folks. Looking at the 'Unused Apps' report, I know for a fact that some of those Apps are being used. How does it determine an App is 'unused'? I'd like to safely do some cleanup. @rucam365 @NathanMcNulty
