Security teams today are drowning in data, and the old tools don't fit the new paradigm. That's why we're thrilled to be investors in RunReveal, founded by two longtime expert security data practitioners, Evan J Johnson and Alan Braithwaite. SIEM sucks, but it doesn't need to. Evan and Alan are shipping at an extraordinary rate and early customers love what they're building. More on why we're excited here https://lnkd.in/gZD95V6m

And the news keeps coming for BreachRx... Welcome to the team, Joe Sullivan! https://lnkd.in/eSRpjE4z "Joining BreachRx is a natural extension of his work, he said, since the company automates the process of documenting organizations' incident responses in the first hours and days." "We're in a broken place," Sullivan said. "The people who are the most intelligent about how to navigate us out of this are handcuffed by fear because they think the regulators are going to come after them." "The way Sullivan sees it, security chiefs have become accustomed to a corporate reality that doesn't provide them with the funds or employees needed to properly secure their systems." Enter, BreachRx. "The growing regulatory pressure on all executives, not just security chiefs, to clean up poor internal practices could force companies to invest more in security and help CISOs in the long run." #incidentresponse

Snowflake's data breach is escalating 🥵 Hackers exploited the lack of multi-factor authentication(MFA)/2FA, stale passwords, and open network access via Infostealer malware. Surprising that basic security controls were absent 😳 If you hold customer data: 💥 enforce MFA across all systems 💥 implement regular password changes 💥 maintain strict network access lists Investing in your company's security posture is critical. Such threats will only increase in the future. https://lnkd.in/e8hRQabU #cybersecurity #cloudsecurity #datasecurity #identity #IAM #MFA #databreach #securitybreach #snowflakebreach #password #startups

Focusing on AI frameworks need attention within our security communities. " AI jailbreaking is the art of formulating clever prompts to coax AI chatbots into bypassing human-built guardrails, potentially leading them into areas they are meant to avoid." ..data corruption , AI software embedded downloads....not sure leaders picture helps the cause

Did you know plastic keycards contain 100x more plastic than a straw? 🌍 At Cohesion, we're excited to launch our integration with #GoogleWallet and #AppleWallet, allowing employees to ditch plastic cards and embrace a greener, more efficient future. I’ve had many conversations with our customers about what #SmartBuildings can do for them. The low-hanging fruit has always been digitizing their processes and enhancing the experience for #employees utilizing the space. Our digital wallet keycards not only reduce plastic waste but also automate onboarding and offboarding to streamline processes and security. That's the power of Cohesion's agnostic #SmartAccess and #SmartBuilding platform.

This is one of my favorite tech charts of all times: browser market share during the first browser wars in the late 1990s. Mosaic was initially the dominant force, then it quickly because Netscape then IE all in quick succession. Two key takeaways. 1) We are just in the first inning of the AI model wars. And it’s impossible to predict who the winner will be—OpenAI, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, Anthropic, Mistral or someone not yet born. 2) Back then it appeared that the winning browser will capture all the value of the Internet. Today we know browsers are effectively a commodity with the value accruing to the content and application providers. The same could end up being the case In AI with LLMs becoming a commodity while application providers, hardware makers and cloud providers capturing the lion share of profits. The bottom line: while AI itself is as transformative as the Internet in the 90s, we could very well look back in a few years and realize that today’s LLMs providers were way, way overvalued.

🚗 The Cybersecurity Epiphany on I-95 You know that "aha" moment when an idea crystallizes? It happened to Defendify Co-Founders Rob Simopoulos and Andrew Rinaldi on a seemingly ordinary drive from Boston to back home to Portland, ME after a cybersecurity conference. As seasoned entrepreneurs, they were puzzled by one glaring realization: None of the vendors served small and midsize organizations—particulalrly those without a dedicated security team. The industry catered only to enterprises spending millions on complex solutions. Rob turned to Andrew and asked: "Why is there no cybersecurity in a box for the mid-market?" That simple question sparked an epiphany—and the Defendify we know today was born. They realized an entire sector was being ignored, left vulnerable despite facing the same threats as "the big guys." The orgs lacked resources for layered "enterprise" security, yet had to meet tough regulations. With Rob's physical security experience seeing the power of integrated solutions, and Andrew's web dev skills understanding app risks, they were the perfect duo to fill this gap. The rest is history. By packaging tools and services into an easy platform, they gave the underserved mid-market what large firms take for granted: Comprehensive cyber protection. 13 essential tools. Three layers of security. One platform to manage it all. One car ride uncovered an opportunity hiding in plain sight. Curious to hear the whole story? Click here to read the blog post and watch the video on the Defendify origin story. https://hubs.la/Q02sJp940 #cybersecurity #midmarket #entrepreneurship #IT
