Looking for a tech team-building activity for tomorrow? Hold my beer 🍺 I’ve asked two of my strongest #cybersecurity leaders to share intel gathered from our 4M+ endpoints and identities. Jamie Levy wrote the book on Memory Forensics (literally: https://lnkd.in/e3uHDFYr) Christopher Henderson led Datto’s Security team through IPO and helped secure 17K+ MSPs during his tenure. You’re going to walk away with juicy incident insights and #threatintel from 150K+ companies ranging from small businesses to small enterprises. There’s endless garbage webinars worth missing—this is not one of them. #EDR #ITDR #ManagedSecurity

I love the quote “happiness is a journey, not a destination” 🏝️ For me, it reminds me of my very first help desk job which predominantly involved: - unlocking accounts in ADUC 🔓 - expanding mailbox sizes beyond the prescribed limits for those that were kind in Exchange 5.5 📬 - unquarantining semi-sus shareware apps in Symantec Endpoint Protection 👾 Very little about working these 12hr nightshifts was enjoyable beyond the mutually shared experience of helping strangers be productive. Oddly enough, that feeling only amplified for me when I was working around base and received the unexpected “yo, you were that guy that saved my ass while I was trying to do X”. <instant dopamine hit> 🤗 To the customers, the community of help desk geeks in the 100th Comm Squadron were known for giving-more-than-we-take. I can’t help but wonder if the community of geeks that make up the MSP/IT/Cybersecurity world are able to rally in times-of-need because so many of us come from this shared experience of community service? 🤔 As careers progress, most help desk renegades I know graduate into “servant leaders” who then mentor others to be there for customers in their times of need. Whatever it is, I’m thankful for it and the energy I get from these approachable badasses. 🙏 If you’re not feeling happiness, it might be time to step-back and ask: > Am I only producing _output_ or am I delivering valuable *outcomes*? Anything short of the latter makes it much harder to find the shared happiness that accompanies you on your daily journeys 🫶

All code has bugs 🐛. You respond to them by acknowledging it, fixing it, and rewarding the discovery. You don't send legal notices or ask folks to sign NDAs/non-disparagement clauses. 🚫 Pretty crazy this still has to be said in 2024, but some are still stuck in 2000. Massive thank-you to the security minded folks our there helping protect the greater good with your findings 🙏 #bugbounty #vulnerabilities

Post on BreachForums purportedly selling access to a range of 400+ companies through a contracting related service provider. Claims to have all kinds of access to source code, infrastructure, and data storage systems. Suggests the combined revenue is over a $T (feels like a stretch, but we’ll see). Will be interesting to see how this plays out and how much veracity is behind the threat actor’s claims… Stay safe out there. Nice find DarkWebInformer 😎
