One of us is a replicant and it might be me! But it sounds more like you’re describing a Purple team [1], where the compliance and sec ops teams work together with vulnerability researchers and pen testers to perform attack surface analysis

Not to put too blunt a point on this metaphor, but a human’s eyes and visual cortex are not stereo cameras and the human brain is not a GPU/CPU despite some apparent similarities. Nor is “professional commercial driver” a job that coul

Here in Florida anhingas are commonly called “snake birds”. When they are swimming, the head pokes out of the water and looks similar to a snake, so perhaps that’s how they earned the name. Just about every moving body of water or lake wil

I’m holding out hope for an NTSB-style investigation report by CISA that is a giant website with 1000s of pages of analyst notes and digital forensic evidence and shows exactly how they found out what they did as it happened. For all the th

I am not an investment or banking guy. And I’m not sure what category of activity this type of lending falls into. But wouldn’t it make more sense to write off the investment losses rather than throw more bags of money on the burning pile?
