TLDR = glad Palo Alto CEO owned the error of his team. I sympathize with the two women who became the objects of the failed marketing. Finally, my peers; man! I thought we were smarter than this. To the CEO of Palo Alto. First, glad you owned your company’s error. This is not 1954 and that was unacceptable. I do hope you also apologized to the women your company objectified. Even if I had been present, this debacle would not have won “market share” with me, in fact it would have had the opposite effect on me. I would have left and avoided your “area”. To BlackHat – Ok I get it it’s Vegas. That might bring a certain level of “latitude”, for some. However, it is still just a town in the United States in 2024. Perhaps you should have seen it and said something to Palo Alto. I can’t justify a ticket if this is a normative practice. To the women who wore lampshades. Know that God the Father loves you. You are of infinitely more value than what you were “paid” to do. To my counterparts and peers across the “business” of cybersecurity. One of the reasons cyber appeals to me is it is intellectually challenging. We as a community are better than this, at least we should be. If you were there; I do hope you at least felt a tinge of embarrassment for the women being objects and any women you interacted with at Blackhat.                 https://lnkd.in/gQadP6k6

In today’s digital landscape, Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs) face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. Despite their size, these organizations are not immune to cyber-attacks and often lack the resources to implement robust security measures. - 1. Rising Cost of Data Breaches Data breaches can be financially devastating for SMBs. The average cost of a data breach for businesses with fewer than 500 employees is a staggering $2.98 million. 😮 - 2. Lack of Cybersecurity Defense Plans Alarmingly, 43% of SMBs lack any type of cybersecurity defense plans. This vulnerability opens the door to potential attacks, emphasizing the necessity for even the smallest businesses to develop and implement security policies. 😬 - 3. Endpoint Security Protections A significant portion of SMBs, about 20%, do not use any endpoint security protections. Endpoint security is crucial as it protects networks that are remotely bridged to devices. 😕 - Solution: Office1 offers tailored cybersecurity solutions designed specifically for SMBs. Our advanced threat detection and response systems help identify potential threats early, preventing costly breaches and minimizing financial impact. By partnering with Office1, SMBs can safeguard their valuable data and focus on growth without the constant worry of cyber threats. 😁 https://lnkd.in/e5t-BwdU #cybersecurity #smb #IT #ITsupport

Creating the Secure Pipeline Verification Standard - Farshad Abasi, Founder and CEO at Forward Security - ASW #274 Farshad Abasi joins us again to talk about creating a new OWASP project, the Secure Pipeline Verification Standard. (Bonus points for not being a top ten list!) We talk about what it takes to pitch a new project and the problems that this new project is trying to solve. For this kind of project to be successful -- as in making a positive impact to how software is built -- it's important to not only identify the right audience, but craft guidance in a way that's understandable and achievable for that audience. This is also a chance to learn more about a project in its early days and the opportunities for participating in its development! https://bit.ly/3UZrcC6 #CyberSecurity
