We pay too much attention to the most confident voices—and too little attention to the most thoughtful ones.
Certainty is not a sign of credibility. Speaking assertively is not a substitute for thinking deeply.
It's better to learn from complex thinkers than smooth talkers.

ICYMI: We've published Nadia Yousef's Incident Response Template. If you're a mid-sized organisation, before your staff start going on leave, use this template as a check list to review your existing IR plan.

Wonderful piece from @LaTrioli calling for Australians to not allow ourselves to be further victimised by shame from the Medibank breach.

Our end of year Sydney harbour cruise is a wrap! We had a powerful roundtable, and topics included:
* mental health,
* the destructive impact of board whisperers who do not know as much as they claim,
* IT needs more budget,
* deep concerns over knee jerk legislation
Could it possibly be that people who want to make money from feeding addictions, laundering money for organised crime, and the suffering of families are just unsuitable?

I remember listening to Aaron Hackworth say this at a conference, years ago.

"... it is important to remember that it is the hackers, not the company, that are the real villains in this story."
Thanks for calling this out @SaysSmithy it's such an important point that's easily lost
I tuned in to the Optus CEO's media briefing this morning, and wrote about the horrible challenge she is facing in a no-win situation. afr.com/technology/optus-ceo…
Is it too much to hope that this unfortunate incident will be the end of companies sending out links in texts?

The amount of judgement and mocking from people who have never had to secure a complex organisation or handled a significant incident is off the charts. The job is f'ing hard and no one thing you point to or mock will make it easier. Best wishes to the blue team. <3 <3 <3
Do you want to get a job in cyber security?
Because that’s how you get a job in cyber security.

ICYMI: New government appears to be interested in genuine industry engagement. What’s that unfamiliar feeling? Is that *hope*?
