This! The ANZ and a few other companies have recognised the benefits of training and growing talent. So much to say on the issue of employment, long term staff development and retention...
It is time to shift focus from getting new people into cyber to helping businesses to hire and train entry-level candidates. For so many years there has been funding thrown at training providers with a view to fixing the skills gap with more people - while those of us in the industry know that the true skills gap exists for mid-level roles in cyber. Effective on-the-job training is fraught with risk and high costs, and much like most other complex tech roles, cyber employees often need to hit the ground running. Providing financial support (or training / process support) to businesses such that they can realistically mitigate the risk of bringing on entry-level cyber employees is a better solution than continuing to fund often meaningless certifications. It seems that currently the only somewhat certain way to land yourself an entry-level role in cyber is through a graduate program - which means completing a tertiary degree, not some well-meaning (and usually still quite expensive) short course. Even then it is incredibly competitive. A big thank you to the team at ACS (Australian Computer Society) for shining a light on this issue. #cyberjobs #cybersecurity #cyber #education

To add to my data paranoia this morning, I've been listening and watching this week's breakdowns about Microsoft's Recall in #Windows11. I though that issue was settled months ago. It now appears to be baked into Win 11 and unremovabled. Not sure this is a safe decision, and given the previous (justified) push back from the market, one can only wonder *why* a feature that captures uses user data and has been lambasted by the market, is being inserted into the Win environment in a way that cannot be removed. I plan to dig into the issue deeply before rending my final advice. I'd like to reach our and discuss #MicrosoftRecall with others investigating it. Just PM me. In particular, I am keen to discuss with #cybersec folks.

Given LinkedIn's recent abuse of customer trust (harvesting user data for AI products by default in all markets but the EU), and the opaque nature of their third party data deals, I can only advise people to not provide highly sensitive data for 'verification'. Even though LinkedIn now openly states it limits the network views of people who have not verified, it risk to payback is not viable: the data being collected is dangerous and overkill for the task, how it is stored and then used by third parties unclear, and a cyber disaster waiting to happen.

What a terrific metaphor. This has its use, of course, but the limitations of different models need to be recognised.
Many people who know me would classify me as a skeptic (some might say cynic ). I have stayed away from the current AI debate and will continue to do so. I worked on early AI solutions (expert systems in medicine) in the 1970s and concluded that the knowledge domain (human health) is so vast and importantly hugely complex that it was way beyond the technology at the time and certainly the big problems would not be cracked within my lifetime. I was right and continue to believe that and plan to stay well away from AI hype! But Professor Brian Lucey, whom I follow, pointed out how easy it is (with Google NotebookLM) to create a fairly decent podcast from even an academic document. Ever the doubter, I decided to give it a try, on what I thought would be hard one 'Modeling Operational Risk Capital The Inconvenient Truth" published in the Journal of Operational Risk in 2015 https://lnkd.in/gs6AJbr3 I personally believe it is a very important paper with deep implications for Operational Risk Capital - but I would think that, wouldn't I? But it is after all an academic paper in a 'pay to read' somewhat obscure journal , so not many people even OP Risk practitioners will ever read it - but such is life! Anyway I submitted the full text of the paper (warts and all) to Google NotebookLLM and asked for a podcast output (admittedly expecting little). I was blown away, first (as a technologist) by the sheer smarts of the technology (Wow!) and then the quality of the podcast output which, if I say so myself, nailed the arguments made in the paper. I definitely could NOT have said better myself for a lay audience. It even adds captions! I have definitely NOT become an AI convert, but have to admire the output. This admittedly early version of the LM program will definitely not create the output (separate research and analysis are needed) but could/will help distribute the research. Please see further comments below (coming soon) on how researchers might proceed and some of the ethical dilemmas involved Enjoy (or not) #operationalrisk PS had to convert LM output (.wav) to Linkedin (.mp4) so something may have been lost. I assume that will get fixed in time. Please just press arrow in the black box below
