Another paper by Erich (“Is Security Operations Ready for XDR?”) contains a precious data point:

“In all the inquiries Gartner has handled on security automation, not a single client has indicated a lack of desire to automate something in security operations.”

And speaking of security orchestration, Erich Ahlm @Gartner has written an excellent research paper on the subject: “SOAR: Assessing Readiness Through Use-Case Analysis”

Big validation about why we released Ansible Security Automation in the way it is today.

Last working week of 2021 for me and extremely busy preparing for multiple #automation and #cybersecurity events. Tomorrow, a #CIO roundtable with @CIONET. In Q1, keynotes for Red Hat Forum Connect and CyberSec Europe (both in Belgium).

Topic? Security orchestration, of course.

A popular theory here in London, too.
On top of misunderstood personal preferences, the financial services firms that crowd the City have started asking employees to be in the office 3-4 days / week months ago. https://t.co/zn9skx9lek

I believe this is the future of addiction. This is the upcoming Matrix videogame based on Unreal Engine 5. It’s real game footage (it becomes clear from 8:06).

If given a realistic, ideal world with an ideal life, who would want to come back to reality?

@dwaxd @eladgil Slides are fast to write and nobody really understands or is liable for the impact of a poor deck. Memos are less common because they take more time. People would never bother to do BOTH if they already think they can get away with a poor deck.

@dwaxd @eladgil That I see the most unlikely. One of the factors why slides are so bad and yet so prominent is that people don’t allocate the time for them. Culturally or b/c education, the IT industry is very immature and doesn’t understand the paramount importance and power of communication.

@bigsolguy @eladgil Nobody ever makes an effort to subtract information to get to the essence of what they want to say and what must be communicated. In a deck, it’s easy to add because there’s little cognitive load in a bulleted list. In a memo, the load would be significant and discouraging.

@bigsolguy @eladgil In a past life, I used to review 100s of powerpoint decks / year, all popular startups and mainstream vendors. That was a formative experience. To Elad’s point, it’s equally possible to deliver a confusing thesis or message. The problem is/was the lack of clarity, not the medium.
