Awwww, sheesh, now you've done it, Edwin. Be prepared for a Coach Mel rant. I've been on LinkedIn for over 19 years. Here's my summary of what is and isn't "cesspool'ish." I don't want to discount the genuine and authentic posts and connections I've made addressing some of the most challenging topics, just the LinkedIn Swamp side of things. - Genuine connections can be made, but they're crippled by "Demi Moore" and "friend" requests from bots polluting the ecosystem: https://lnkd.in/gXWrBubi - Bots, scripts, and sales pitches just kill the vibe. Hence my "Mel Rico" experiment, where I changed my first name to "Mel Rico," and ignored any request that addressed me as such. I still get those requests well after changing it back - In the 19 years, I've applied to over a hundred, maybe even over two hundred jobs with maybe a handful of engagements, can't remember an interview that advanced based on fit (salary, etc), and have never been hired. I get that I may not be a fit but why should I bother applying? I just relied on the power of my contacts and landed almost all my roles... - Working the "influencer" algos! I want to highlight two posts. One was an inspirational video post I found and reshared (luckily, I saved the video...). It had gotten insane traction, but I guess because the video had Sia's Unstoppable playing in the background, boom, my only 40k+ viewed reshare was taken down. I get the copyright infringement, but the video was insanely inspiring; DM me for a private viewing... I'm tempted to post it here again... The only other post that received as much traction was in genuine form. I hopped on the "beat up cybersecurity hiring practices train," and the universe answered. Not my most proudest moment, but again, the LinkedIn algos elevated that sh*t up. How about you rank my other content high, too https://lnkd.in/gG9XXYPA - I've followed the best practices but have yet to see any benefit of paying so much more for the next level account; I'm already spending too damned much, and the upsell isn't going to help me any better. My content, format, style, and engagement aren't a full-time job; help a brother out and stop playing the influencer game LinkedIn; we're just people looking to get ahead, not rule the social media world. - "Top Influencer" is a cute concept, but let's be real; you can game that system - For the love of humanity, get off the old code base & enhance your inbox messaging the 90's called, and they want to retire... My inbox is jammed with DMs from salespeople, so I block and ignore them completely! I will not support any automated sales funnel BS. I've installed Stylish and customized my screen to leverage the vastness of space; screenshots in comments. Rant is brought to you by Coach Mel. #StayAwesome

Great article! I feel like you cannot have the network and environment segmentation pillar implemented well without a good amount of user and device pillar implemented. You need the role based access controls and device health posture to assist with the policy decisions on the segmentation.

At Arctic Wolf, we focus on quick threat responses and long-term planning, as highlighted in a recent article about Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking Fast and Slow." Balancing these two approaches helps us effectively manage risk and keep our organization and others secure.

Check out the latest blog post from Daniel J. Poucher, CBCP - "Will Your Cyber Response be Successful Without a Business Continuity Plan?" Key Takeaways: - Cyberattacks continue to significantly impact businesses of all sizes. - Organizations need to implement actionable response programs as part of their regular operations to be fully prepared for cyber threats. - A well-developed business continuity plan (BCP) ensures organizations can recover operations and maintain data and system availability. - An incident response plan (IRP) is vital for detecting, responding to, and recovering from cyber incidents. - Aligning BCPs with IRPs is crucial in having a synchronized crisis management structure to ensure comprehensive coverage during cyber incidents. https://lnkd.in/gcf2R5sy
