Last week, I visited Microsoft's headquarters and talked to senior leaders about how the company has tried to turn a corner on cybersecurity.
Here's my story about what's working, what remains challenging, and, of course, how AI factors into everything: cybersecuritydive.com/news/m…
The FBI is investigating what appears to be a serious hack of its jobs portal by the cybercrime group ShinyHunters that may have exposed FBI agents' and applicants' sensitive personal data, sparking fears of an intelligence bonanza for foreign adversaries. cybersecuritydive.com/news/f…
How's this for a @hothtakes tease? In our new episode, @byrdinator suggests that Ahsoka season 2 take a page out of Sherlock's book for Thrawn, and you'll never guess what that is. hothtakes.wordpress.com/2026…
Just another plug for @hothtakes's new episode, about what we're expecting — and hoping for — in Ahsoka season 2. hothtakes.wordpress.com/2026…
New @hothtakes episode is out about Ahsoka season 2's teaser trailer. We talk about, among other things, how frustrating it's been to see the Ghost crew in live-action without really getting to know them. hothtakes.wordpress.com/2026…
In our new @hothtakes episode, we were talking about how weird it is that Ahsoka is still supposed to be an uncertain youngster in season 2 of her show, and @billkuchman pointed out that Ahsoka is supposed to be almost 50. 😮 hothtakes.wordpress.com/2026…
Really enjoyed talking to @byrdinator and @billkuchman on @hothtakes about the highs and lows of Ahsoka season 2's teaser trailer and what, exactly, Dave Filoni is trying to do here. hothtakes.wordpress.com/2026…
With Ahsoka season 2 coming up in January, we're devoting this month's @hothtakes episode to a breakdown of the teaser trailer and everything we can glean about Ahsoka's journey, Anakin's role, and more. hothtakes.wordpress.com/2026…
Are you excited for season 2 of Disney's Ahsoka series? In @hothtakes's new episode, we break down the many storylines that the season appears to be tackling, and we wonder whether Dave Filoni will be able to pull it all off. hothtakes.wordpress.com/2026…
.@hothtakes returns as @byrdinator, @billkuchman, and I discuss the Ahsoka season 2 teaser trailer -- Anakin, Thrawn, Mortis, and much more. Join us! hothtakes.wordpress.com/2026…
CISA wants to hire infrastructure security experts who can work broadly across sectors, rather than people specializing in certain sectors, acting CISA Director Nick Andersen told reporters today at Google's Cyber Defense Summit.
My story: cybersecuritydive.com/news/c…
Andersen also dodged my question about whether (and if so, when) CISA would comply with a congressional requirement to restore funding to the EI-ISAC.
CISA's foot-dragging prompted a letter earlier this month from @SenAlexPadilla and @RepJoeMorelle. padilla.senate.gov/wp-conten…

ICYMI: My story about how Microsoft is rethinking security.
"The changes they’ve made so far are valuable and will help Microsoft products be more secure," one analyst said. "However, these changes need to remain embedded and improve over time to truly have a long-term impact."

Just another plug for my new story about Microsoft's attempt to reinvent its security culture.
"We’re shifting left in terms of critical areas where I must have a security engineer sign off at the design time," the head of Windows Security told me.

Microsoft is constantly trying to balance better default security with easy user experience. Company leaders acknowledged that this balancing act wasn't easy but pointed to Azure MFA as an example of how to achieve it.
And not every org needs every feature on by default.
