A huge thank you to the amazing @shehackspurple for conducting the @LASCONATX 2024 Intro to Secure Coding Community Training! We are very lucky to have her here in Austin.

I think I need to apologize to @joshuagates on behalf of all of Austin for the guy who tried to proposition him for a night with his wife in the Q&A part of the show last night. It was awkward for all of us, but he handled it like a champ. So much fun. Thank you.

Curious about how to use the CIS Critical Security Controls in SimpleRisk? Check out our newest blog to learn about the different ways you can use their controls with our GRC platform. #grc #governance #compliance

100% spot on. GRC helps us to understand our risks and prioritize their mitigations. Red teaming or pen tests are just another way to assess your risks.
I’ll keep saying this until folks start believing me. Most orgs are defending against auditors, regulators, and insurance underwriters. Red teaming doesn’t improve those things. Know what does? GRC. Look at the GRC budget/project log at most orgs. Don’t hate me, it’s true.

I enjoyed #lasconatx so much this year. The pandemic made me more appreciative of @LASCONATX - it’s such a laid-back event that attracts friendly people focused on #AppSec #DevSecOps #CyberSec - I think it could be the next DerbyCon.

Truly grateful for all of the support you've given us over the years. And thanks to all of the Speakers, Sponsors, Volunteers and Attendees who make #LASCON possible.
Many thanks to everyone from #LASCON2022 @LASCONATX for running yet another great event. Had a great time training, speaking, and hanging out with everyone there. Got to see some folks I hadn't seen in far too long. Can't wait for next year!

If you are at #LASCON, I hope you were listening carefully to the talk by @marcusjcarey. He's basically given tips on how to complete like 50% of the badge game. @LASCONATX

Organizations need to ensure that their vendors are compliant with cybersecurity standards, regardless of whether regulatory requirements are involved. So how do we do that? Check out our new blog to find out. #vendorrisk #compliance #cybersecurity

Mohammad is one of my Cyberpatriot students. He is an incredibly hard worker and earned his OSCP at 16 years old. Impressed by him, I helped connect him with @ryanrutan and @synack, who brought him on to do pen testing. Huge congrats on his first RCE award!
Growing up self-doubt has always been present, especially in the cybersec field; but if there's one thing I learned it's perseverance. "Oh I'm too young to get my OSCP" BOOM aced it at 16. "I'm too young to get a job," somehow ended on Synack. 1/3
