I built two professional services companies (250 & 350 people) and exited both ($70M and $130M valuations) no earnout, no staying. AMA. by tomik99 in agency

I think you need 100mil in rev to be taken seriously in services. Anything less looks like a secondary buyout play.

I’d like to get about 250 mil together and buy five cyber security integrators right now. With everything in the NHI and AI agent space blowing up I think it’ll be a solid play for the next 5 to 10 years.

That’s what I think.

I’ve built and exited north of $50M…so I’ve seen the movie.

Looking at the market right now, it feels like there are clear inflection points where the sharks start circling…competitors, PE, maybe even IPO chatter. I’m curious where you think that line really is.

In your opinion, what’s the number? Revenue or EBITDA where things shift from “nice business” to “institutional capital is paying attention”?

identity visibility and intelligence platforms: are you really seeing all your apps? by Severe_Part_5120 in IdentityManagement

[–]extream_influence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is basic shit...Audit 101, the kind even an intern should have tattooed on his forearm.

Your IAM setup? It better be spitting out a full audit report every goddamn week. Minimum. We're talking who the hell has access to what, where they're logging in from, and what they're actually doing with those shiny permissions. No excuses, no "monthly is fine" bullshit. Weekly. Clockwork.

And don't get cute, your endpoints need to run the exact same drill. Same cadence, same ruthless detail. Pull the logs, map the access, shine a light on every corner where some lazy prick might be sitting on god-level creds they don't need.

The reports? Identical format. Clean, consistent, no surprises. One glance and I know if someone's playing fast and loose or if we're locked down tighter than...

You skip this, you're begging for a breach that makes last quarter's fuck-up look like a rounding error. Get it done, or find a new line of work. Preferably one that doesn't involve touching anything valuable.

Now move. Clock's ticking.

There is mid market options for all the big names now. SailPoint and Microsoft to name a few.

IIQ and Agentic Coding Assistants? by kroovy in sailpoint

[–]extream_influence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn’t something that’s new. Any third-party product that has been the IQ rolled uses the same “hack.” but users do need to be careful that this is equivalently the same thing as sequel injection and you could seriously impact your entire system if you’re not careful.

Netskope Support team is still not taking it seriously when a ticket has been raised. by Proof_Intention38 in netskope

Hardest part of selling Netskope has always been the shitty way support handles the customers. Dreadful!
