I was asked by a journalist to answer a bunch of supply chain security questions today and I have to say, I am just a bit exasperated at this point.

Nothing wrong with the questions, but the expectation that there is a template for how you assess risk for your business or a protocol you need to follow is deeply frustrating.

Knowing how your business works and what data you must protect is your job. No one else can figure this out for you. There isn't a service, a survey, or a AI agent that can do this for you.

Risk management is hard. In a field that changes at the pace of #InfoSec it often feels impossible, but looking for shortcuts or copying your friends answers isn't going to get the job done.

Dedication, diligence and determination are the way forward.

Larry #Ellison, CEO of #Oracle, and giver of many bribes to Dear Leader, purchased #TikTok, and took ownership of the platform this weekend.

Subsequently, leftists, anti-ice, and anti-trump were immediately deplatformed. Some with messages that said they were using forbidden terms, like #Epstein, videos that referenced Renee #Good or Alex #Pretti. Oh also now they want your full demo info and precise location at all times, even when not using the app. Oh, and they want to know if you’re trans, or gay...because gay is the next target after trans.

I’ve never been a user of this particular drug, TikTok that is, but if you are, just know that they are collecting info to give to Pam #Bondi and her masked thugs at the #DHS.

Maybe deleting it is good #infosec.

Boycott billionaires.

Today I'll explain how zero-knowledge proofs work. Also: Microsoft gives up BitLocker keys; FL mulls age verification; UK may ban VPNs; more bad browser addons; ads-based data leakage; cops fail to redact private Flock data; FTC limits GM car data; more!

RE: https://mastodon.social/@FirewallDragons/115962131540094840

Thank you to @FirewallDragons for covering the AI age verification bill being considered in the Florida Legislature! Between this and the Florida App Stores Accountability Act, we have our work cut out for us.

If you live in Florida, please call your state legislators and tell them you oppose these age verification bills!
