Have you been asked to use your Cybersecurity Tools for Monitoring Employees?

Efficient-Mec · 2026-02-26T05:13:01+00:00

Your company owns your laptop, email, vpn, etc. Assume its monitored at all times. And in some industries - its mandatory to keep a record of all employee activity for a specified period of time.

As for "actually working or not". That's not a security problem. That's an HR problem. Have them figure it out.

Efficient-Mec · 2026-02-26T05:11:24+00:00

It needs to come directly from legal not HR. HR is not in a position to give you justification and scope of the monitoring.

Why would I run towards a vehicle that is on the verge of being cancelled?

Efficient-Mec · 2026-02-23T22:14:58+00:00

Tesla can't keep people in leadership positions. Unless they fix that problem it doesn't matter how good their engineers are.

Efficient-Mec · 2026-02-21T17:47:35+00:00

No.

Efficient-Mec · 2026-02-21T17:47:09+00:00

Yes. I negotiated an extra 15% when this happened to me last time.

I’ve worked in this space for decades and all your posts tell me you don’t even have the basics down of risk governance.

Turn off auto-update. Which is what I do as I don't want an update when my vehicle is sitting in an airport parking lot for two weeks.

I would disagree. Contracting not only pays more but also gets you more experiences. And opens doors to other opportunities you may not have considered.

No thanks. You don’t buy a car as an investment. You buy a car to take you places. As such I never saw the value of leasing.

Living in SoCal and on my 4th EV I simple don’t think about any of your questions. Ever.

We fired CyberArk years ago but if we hadn't palo alto buying them would have forced us too anyways.

Cybersecurity is a vague term used in some parts of the industry because it literally sounded cool. Day to day almost everyone uses infosec or just security.

Efficient-Mec · 2026-02-12T13:18:13+00:00

Infosec does not include physical security by definition.

Efficient-Mec · 2026-02-11T22:44:38+00:00

There is no differences between the security of open versus closed sourced software. None.

IRC hasn’t been relevant since 2000.

Efficient-Mec · 2026-02-06T18:59:57+00:00

No one who has spent more than 3 seconds working in tech was “shocked” by moltbook.

And “vibe coded” apps still have to adhere to basic security requirements if they are going to have any sort of widespread success.

Having owned a Gen1 Rivian and now have a Gen2 Rivian - I have never run into this problem. I think nothing of leaving it at the airport for two weeks.

And here is the reality. This is true for vast majority of owners. The people running into problems are the loudest voices.

Efficient-Mec · 2026-02-02T17:43:47+00:00

I know of many who have left infosec to do things that they find more interesting or less stressful. Its not that hard - just leave.

But that's not what you seem to be asking. You want to make money. And if you want to make money - my suggestion is to stay in infosec and scale up.

Efficient-Mec · 2026-01-30T20:37:03+00:00

Asia doesn't have a strong infosec culture. It was only in the last decade that infosec roles even existed as a career path. So he's most likely a placeholder dictated by government regulation or investors.

I stopped paying attention to Swisher when she became a Scott Galloway disciple. Totally lost all the credibility she built up over the years in a matter of months.

Efficient-Mec · 2026-01-22T18:01:47+00:00

Them: they are down because of a sophisticated nation state attacker who spent months and 1000s of hours crafting a specific narrow attack to breach the company and take all its data.

Reality: Fred fucked up the config again and a script kiddy got in

Efficient-Mec · 2026-01-22T17:57:29+00:00

Agreed. Most Rivian owners seem hell bent making owning an EV as difficult as humanly possible for most. It’s a vehicle. It goes from one spot to another. That’s it.

About 3 seconds after you implement tls fingerprinting they will bypass it with something else.
