- edmundsauto 6y agoWhat would be different if they had someone in that role? The headline would be “despite having a Chief Security Officer, Solar Winds gets hacked.”

- 0xy 6y agoEquifax had a CSO (with no security background). SolarWinds' VP of Security publicly posted a blog post entitled "Do Your Vendors Take Security Seriously?" in September, while according to reports, being completely compromised and distributing malware. Hire executives who can actually do their job.
- edmundsauto 6y agoHiring people who can perform a complex job at a high level is a very hard thing to do well, regardless of compensation. It feels like telling the hiring committee to just do their job, but better. Hiring, in general, is hard.

- LyalinDotCom 6y agoFrom the website, I feel sick reading that given the circumstances... “ We're Geekbuilt™. Developed by network and systems engineers who know what it takes to manage today's dynamic IT environments, SolarWinds has a deep connection to the IT community. The result? IT management products that are effective, accessible, and easy to use.”
