In principle, it's always been about "shared responsibility principle". But in practice, yes many clients probably assume that by running in the cloud, they're "secure" (thus, failing their end of the bargain).

That's true - he was talking about clients though, if my memory serves well. The main challenge he highlighted is there're no financial incentives for most companies in the industry to stay secure (unless you're a security co

FWIW from my own experience with auditors, the process is really kind of superficial. Yes, they can identify the most common checklist-based gaps, and that's what tends to be the low-hanging fruit for attackers as well. But they would

Yep, it's all about checkmarks now :-)

Funny how I've heard from an Azure employee who worked with many big clients that very few among them cared about security - the incentives were just not there. Seems like they're finally doing something about that, to set an exam

He doesn't sell snake oil at all, what he teaches works, is down to earth and pragmatic. He also has amazing guest lectures from folks highly regarded in the community.

Nothing to do with this, quite the opposite.

Likewise, here. He's one of the most genuine and authentic folks out there, and the community is simply awesome. It's not a "get rich quick" scheme by any stretch of imagination, because they teach how to grow your wealt

This is a bummer! But it highlights more of an unfortunate reality we all have to deal with when buying digital goods online - always need to get a backup right away when possible, since no platform lasts forever.

Yes; not a lawyer, but as far as I can tell yes (and physical media too); you can, in advance (which I do), in any format you want without restriction - it’s just FLAC/MP3 etc. No DRM. I do prefer buying full digital discography when a

Have you been a creator on YT? Do you know how much an average creator gets paid? Did you know that it and other modern platforms like Spotify artificially skew payouts towards the richest brands? If not, then please let’s not make any clai

Unfortunately, it’s hard to explain these things to techies who only see the world in their one-sided startupy way. The fact that there’re starving creatives who have already been massively marginalized by the likes of Spotify of this world
