This is damning.

Kevin Collier, journalist from NBC News states:

"I will say [Kristi Noem] has come out swinging, insisting her vision of CISA will improve [DHS] and falsely describing its previous work as being substantially devoted to policing misinfo.

The crowd has been relatively into it. Tepidly bit on her laugh lines. No boos, no heckling. This is a corporate crowd, not Def Con, but I would have not been surprised to have seen some disruption."

Looks like Corporate #infosec has made it's choice.

#RSAC is filled with talks embracing AI and making it "secure".

And they invited and encouraged the Trump regime to spread its disinformation - fully sanctioned and encouraged by the conference leadership(and by conference attendees who laughed at the regime's jokes and lies and issued no challenges or stands during the talk).

With the ostracization of #ChrisKrebs by industry and the full embrace of Kristi Noem as a speaker, this was the moment that infosec made its bed.

Y'all lie in it now.

as is tradition, I just published my commentary on this year's Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (aka #DBIR): https://kellyshortridge.com/blog/posts/shortridge-makes-sense-of-verizon-dbir-2025/

In the post, I include the following sections covering what I felt were the most notable insights and facets in the report:

🌍 So, what?

💃 Espionage: fast fashion or couture?

👻 APTs go BWAA-haha >:3

💸 How do the money crimes generate money?

🤖 Attackers are still not really using GenAI

👩‍🍳 If you can’t make your own 0day, store-bought creds are fine

🔓 #Security was the real supply chain threat all along

🍄 Things Rot Apart

🕵‍ Scooby Doo's Spooky Kooky Corporate IT Caper

🌈 At least some things are improving somewhere

Go forth and enjoy my commentary, and then make sure to find me at #RSAC to tell me what you loved or hated Tuesday 14:30 at the @fastlydevs booth (where you'll also get a free copy of my book ✨)

thanks @alexcpsec for the early copy <3
