Wrote up some thoughts for how Okta is getting squeezed from all sides: squished by Rippling at the bottom, Msft at the top, and other markets and startups in the middle. I hope you love some red string diagrams 🤣 ventureinsecurity.net/p/the-unbund...

Check out our cofounder @mayakaczorowski.com's post on @frankw.bsky.social's Frankly Speaking on how modern security teams are scaling. Read the post for the new commandments of security teams: franklyspeaking.substack.com/p/the-new-co...

@wbm312.bsky.social and I's talk from BSidesSF is now online: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiq2... Play along to learn about incident response!

Zero trust: everyone (was) talking about it, but how far did we get? From inventory basics to the long tail of unsolved challenges, here's a realistic look at where you are in your zero trust journey, from a talk @ericchiang.bsky.social and I gave in 2022 😅 mayakaczorowski.com/blogs/road-t...

@mayakaczorowski.com and I are publishing the write up of our 2022 NorthSec talk on the hard parts of zero trust. Which made me wonder, how's that US executive memorandum requiring agencies to adopt ZTA by 2024? ericchiang.github.io/post/zero-tr...
