”Hi Siren! Just emailed to let you know I refused to let my boss make me feel bad about not working this weekend since I dont work weekends. Your constant ass ranting work life balance made me do it. My boss isnt a fan, but I am” …this is my hill, and I am so proud.

There are so many great reasons to be on Signal.
Now including the opportunity for the vice president of the United States of America to randomly add you to a group chat for coordination of sensitive military operations.
Don’t sleep on this opportunity…

Cybersecurity teams need to get better at trusting development teams when they say "this can't be exploited" and not interrupting other development work streams to test the updated component. "Security trumps business" is swinging the pendulum too far IMHO. 3/

Did a leadership feedback review thing, all anonymous data. One of my favorite comments, ”Siren never makes anyone she works with feel small, no matter their position.” Its been a really really awful week, and that made it so much better.

And suddenly my phone , our security system , my kids tablets are time bombs that detonate at the whims of one country . You win Israel . Not a single politician or late night show talks about this ? None of that worth the news ? Nothing “funny” can come out of it ? The whole country is truly a hostage. The whole world is.

Them: ”Don’t be mad I mean it in a bad way.”

Be on plane, dude next to me laughed at me as I was putting on sunscreen. Flight attendant heard the manbro and pointed out to him that what I was doing is smart given how high the plane flies skin cancer and that she highly recommends it. Dude shut up 🤐

How to build a bad security program. Build one where people are accountable for security outcomes without having the necessary authority. Not only is it demoralizing, its unproductive, and potentially leads to a toxic work environment. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

Them: ”We must ensure the business prios this” me: ”….but I only heard about this Friday” Them: ”yes well its been planned for 6 months and presented next week!” Me: ”its so important it must be prio, but, not so important you mentioned it early so we could plan ahead..?”

As an ex-AWS sec person, security should NEVER be number 1
If security is number 1, your security leadership fucked up
The purpose of security is to prevent an identified business risk and mature security teams get ahead of business goals
I fight this dumb belief every day

Here's the blog I just mentioned on @SquawkCNBC from my good friend Chris Betz over at @awscloud on their approach to security. A good read (from another former MSFTer).
"How the unique culture of security at AWS makes a difference."

I love my firmware mechanical devs, they are easily among my favorite people. But every now and then I have the overwhelming urge the shake them while shouting ”NOT EVERYTHING MUST BE EXPLAINED DOWN TO KERNEL LEVEL ALL I WANTED WAS DIRECTIONS TO THE COFFEE MAKER”
