  • Make sure you back up all email and IM communications and don’t rely exclusively on server-side retention (provided your DLP policy allows for this.)

    If it ever comes down to it and you are facing the possibility of being the scapegoat for a security incident, your attorney can review the relevant policy and determine whether or not and when you can use these to demonstrate that you communicated your concerns to management and stakeholders.

    Depending on who you reached out to and who was included, absence of a response to your various methods of communication can be used to establish acceptance of risk by leadership.




  • It’s an odd position to be in; I work in the private sector but my company deals almost exclusively with government and NGO contracts, so at times I feel like I’m public sector.

    What I’ve noticed is that even though the desired outcome is nearly identical for both sectors, the buzz words associated with each is what determines who responds to my job applications. As an example:

    Private: IaC and Policy-as-Code, supply chain and software composition analysis, SAST, DAST, etc.

    Public: Compliance automation, risk management frameworks, risk quantification (this one has generated a lot of excitement recently), etc.

    This is purely anecdotal, but you may find adjusting your resume to include some of these buzzwords as applicable to the industry to which you are applying may help you get your foot in the door.

    To reiterate, yes I know in the end all of these companies strive toward the same goals, whether it be passing audits or being able to demonstrate prudent security practices to clients, sometimes the hiring manager is looking for specific terminology and will discard any applications that exclude it.

    Trump’s preferred candidate just won the Ohio GOP Senate primary — and Democrats are thrilled

    Bernie Moreno, a former car dealership owner, won the GOP Senate primary in Ohio on Tuesday.

    It’s a victory not just for Trump, but for Democrats, who spent $3.1 million in the final days of the race on TV and digital ads designed to boost Moreno’s profile with GOP primary voters.

    It was the latest example of a tried-and-true tactic that Democrats have employed in recent years, meddling in GOP primaries to try to elevate the candidate who they believe they’re most likely to beat.

    Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican who endorsed Dolan, called Moreno the “weakest candidate” in the race after the Democratic spending became public.

    Moreno scored Trump’s endorsement months ago, but had faced tougher than expected competition from State Sen. Matt Dolan, a more Trump-skeptical candidate. Frank LaRose, the current Ohio Secretary of State, came in third.

    It was enough to convince Trump to travel to Dayton for a rally, where he made the now-infamous “bloodbath” comments.

    In the final days of the race, Moreno and Trump’s allies relied primarily on the former president’s endorsement in making his case to GOP primary voters.

    “President Trump wants Bernie,” South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem told rally attendees on Saturday, saying the endorsement “should be enough reason” for them to support Moreno. “You’re gonna want President Trump in Ohio a lot. He’s gonna come here a lot if you get Bernie to be the victor on Tuesday.”

    But Moreno is emerging from the contentious primary with potential vulnerabilities.

    In the final days of the race, the Associated Press reported that Moreno’s work email was linked to a short-lived profile that sought “Men for 1-on-1 sex” on an adult dating website in 2008.

    Moreno’s campaign has blamed the incident on a prank by an intern, and his high-profile supporters have largely dismissed the story as a smear.

    The former car dealership owner has also faced several lawsuits stemming from his time in the industry, including being sanctioned by a Massachusetts judge for shredding documents that may have been relevant to a wage theft lawsuit he was facing.
