re: #DeepSeek : It's important to note that the censorship is layered ON TOP in the app/api interfaces. It's a post-processor. Running the model locally one gets more "intellectually honest" answers. That is until they decide to adjust the underlying model more to their…

Like many of my fellow nerds, I spent a good chunk of the weekend playing with #DeepSeek. While much has already been said, I will quote my father: "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is." R1 contains impressive technical innovations, is certainly disruptive, and the…

This is the first of a content series about DNS related security issues. Almost 5% of all domain names worldwide are susceptible to DNS attacks due to lame delegation. Details here -linkedin.com/feed/update/ur… --- #DNS #Domains #ITSecurity #NetworkSecurity #cybersecurity #DataPulse

I have always thought about cybersecurity as having "insurance economics:" you spend money hoping that the amount of money you spent will be less than the amount of money you would have lost due to insurance covered hazards. This is how typical insurance works - auto insurance,…

I strongly suspect, in response to #Crowdstrike, Microsoft will start down the path of "encouraging" security vendors to interact with the system through enhanced yet-to-be-developed specialty user-mode APIs. They will need to lead by example here and I expect Defender will start…

In the past three days, we have learned that some of the same people that insist on generating and holding their own cryptographic keys (for security) also willingly gave #CrowdStrike the ability to remotely update their machine’s kernels at will. And when they needed their…

All security involves trade-offs; there is no risk-free option. It's likely that the majority of #CrowdStrike clients experienced greater financial losses yesterday from interruptions and recovery than they will ever save by potentially avoiding cyber security-related losses.…

In light of #Crowdstrike, let’s revisit some core q’s. Do we need EDR on locked-down, limited purpose terminals, kiosks, etc, especially ones using cryptographic execution whitelists? Lightweight throw away user machines that only access cloud services and storage?

The events of today have demonstrated that #Crowdstrike can push a button and remotely update the kernels of a billion machines globally. Let that sink in.
