Good times! #identiverse
Excited to be giving this #identiverse talk this morning! Enterprise Tech Debt in identity stacks can hold back your teams ability to innovate… but it doesn’t have to.
Screen should be bigger - @sawaba.bsky.social speaking at @bsidessf.org (not @bsidesknoxville.bsky.social!)
Much excite for Day 2 of @bsidessf.org !
Yes! That is the perfect word.
I will say this: the current administration is not sneaky. They are very transparent (though that feels like the wrong word) about what they plan to do.
Loved this quote from @metlstorm.risky.biz in ep 786:
“Identity: that’s hard.”
Dang right it is! The same ep highlights the weaknesses of Oracle (neé Sun, some is neé Waveset) IDM solutions that are likely the reason Oracle Cloud got breached.

Here’s the weirdest thing I’ve read about this week: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obelisk...
(as seen on @riskybusiness.bsky.social Risky Bulletin): Microsoft has provided the first technical deep dive on the new Windows 11 Administrator Protection feature. Lots to digest here. Not yet sure how the PAM (esp EPM) vendors will integrate with this: techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/microso...
I'm truly surprised that the #identitysecurity community isn't talking about this more. The vast majority of the mandatory controls for restricted transactions are identity-centric. It's actually a good set of rules (good job CISA!). I submitted a talk for #identiverse2025 on it; we'll see! 🧵2/2
I've been doing a lot of work for one of my clients around EO14117 and the associated Final Rule (which has the super clear title: "Provisions Pertaining to Preventing Access to U.S. Sensitive Personal Data and Government-Related Data by Countries of Concern or Covered Persons"). 🧵1/2
This one is nowhere near the best episode… but I sure do love DS9
Good reminder for us all
Have to share how much I am loving Vimcal (www.vimcal.com). I deal with a LOT of calendars and Vimcal has been a saving grace in keeping me out of the oops-I-missed-a-meeting hot water. Great solution, especially for keyboard-driven calendar warriors.
I feel this one in my bones!
Voyager scene. Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct adjunct of Unimatrix-01, is seen up close absolutely devouring a big ol' turkey leg like some kind of vicious animal. It's one of those tin foil wrapped Renaissance festival turkey legs, absolute unit. Closed caption reads: (ravenous growling)

Happy Thanksgiving from our doggo, Thunder, who is a little extra tired after our family hike this morning
Why is it that clicking a link in a newsletter (including the “oops we made it too long, click here if the email is clipped”) results in you going to a webpage where there inevitably is a modal popover prompting you to… subscribe to the self same newsletter that brought you to that page?
Some would argue I didn’t really dress up for Halloween
My dog is more ridiculous than your dog
Is your startup too small / young / poor to throw a holiday party?
We're throwing one for you... Startup Festivus in SF, now in our 10th year, on Friday, December 6...
Ask to join here (by a week from today), and share it with your favorite founder!

Cool. Also I used your Star Trek starter pack. Thank you for that.
I had understood the Switch did use one of the power profiles in the USB C spec, but it was one so uncommonly used that most chargers did not support it. Maybe my info is wrong.
I’m a little sad about not being at BH/Defcon/HSC this year. I’ll miss seeing friends and, of course, miss that #badgelife and helping out my friends at @andnxor.bsky.social — but it was time to take a year off and I’ll be camping at the most beautiful Scout Camp in the world this weekend instead 🏕️⚜️
I don’t know how many more “time to start from scratch on a new platform” I got left in me.
The value reductions will continue until profits improve!
I call this one “malware authors getting victims to click links”
Wherever I’ve lived or worked, I’ve always sought places that have long site lines.It’s always been important to me.Tig’s podcast gave me a “why” — the big space makes me put my immediate problems into the right frame: they’re not that big.
