Weekend fun:
Mark the football team's new footballs so it's clear they are ours.

Works nicely while babysitting opencode as it's pulling tasks from the backlog for my current open source project - a single binary speech-to-text application for Linux. It's already working nicely for my use case. More about it when I fix the release pipeline and quickstart. I want it to work without an intricate setup.

I have learnt SO much doing this weekend project, even if the code is 100% AI generated. Such a difference when you start learning how to vibe code - but as usual it's a matter of attitude!

Hop in the Cydea time machine and take a ride with us as we take a look at how #DORA could have changed history 🕰️

Penny takes a look at the Travelex and Tesco Bank incidents and how #risk management and #resilience testing could have played an important role in preventing and rebounding from those incidents.

"Security teams are struggling to conduct accurate risk assessments and communicate the results with business and technology colleagues. They find simple questions like 'what is our risk?' difficult to answer meaningfully."

Check out this interview with Cydea founder Robin Oldham about why we need to change how we understand #cyber #risk

What is "likely?" 🤔

This is what #BSides Exeter thought... ignoring the 0% trolls, "likely" means anywhere between ~30% and ~90% to the 50+ people that voted in our poll.

If you're struggling to communicate your #CyberRisk or don't feel like you're being heard, Cydea can help. Turn ambiguous statements into meaningful numbers that can underpin security programmes, investment cases, or show the benefit you're bringing to the business.

*️⃣ UPDATED: If your boss is asking "what does it mean?" about Friday's #CrowdStrike incident, or you need to circulate a briefing to your peers, you'll hopefully find a useful summary and some broader considerations in our risk advisory:

#PositiveSecurity #CloseTheLoop #CyberRisk

Whew! What a jam packed three days.

Some of our key takeaways from the conference,
AI:
Not quite the ‘AI in cyber show’. A lot of vendors have integrated AI, using marketing terms such as ‘AI-reinforced’, but we didn’t see AI products built from the ground up, apart from in the start-up zone. AI felt like a substitution for ‘automation’ without an insight into the wider benefits.

Zero Trust:
Once a hot topic in the industry, zero trust was noticeable by its absence in strap-line marketing. It is now just on the features list, which indicates it has made its way through the hype phase and is accepted as standard for how things are done now.

Risk:
Risk is still a word you see a lot, but in the context of output from technical tools and/or services. Products around risk assessment and management are still few and far between. The 5x5 risk matrix and RAG statuses continues to dominate product dashboards.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat to us, we hope you enjoyed the Cyber 100 Club with us.

Suffering from blank page syndrome with your cyber risk assessments?

Getting started with mapping your risk can be challenging. Whether that’s understanding what matters, calculating the probabilities of certain risks occurring or getting the right stakeholders involved to get their input.

We’ve taken our collective years of experience to create a simple to use library of common risk scenarios, complete with guidance on where to ask for the information you need to make a decision. Nice and easy!

What is unique about the Cydea Risk Platform?

It can be challenging to explain the level of risk facing an organisation. Often organisations get stuck in a process of trying to gather ever more detailed ‘bottom-up’ data. It’s an impossible quest for precision, instead of accuracy.

Cydea Risk Platform and our ‘top-down’ approach makes this really easy and presents the information in a way that is easily digestible by others - even outside the cyber security team!

Get started today to have better conversations around cyber risk in your organisation.

Many people have told us that conducting risk assessments is a chore. They end up spending more time managing spreadsheets than managing risk.

Cydea Risk Platform makes it easy for security teams to conduct a risk assessment with input from their business and technology colleagues.

The result is a shared, quantified understanding of the cyber risk the business faces and clear investment cases to tackle that risk.

There are some big, well documented problems with 5x5 risk matrices (or ‘PIGs’ as we like to call them!🐖) We think they hinder, rather than help, communication.

Cydea Risk Platform helps achieve better security outcomes, such as improved communication between security, technology and business teams.

That’s why, when you open an assessment, you see an easy to understand ‘loss exceedance curve’. It shows you the aggregate risk of all your scenarios in your assessment. Clear, easy-to-digest visuals of your overall risk posture, and how it relates to your risk tolerance.

No more ‘how many ambers make a red’ or trying to mix colours. 🟥+🟨+🟩🟰🟫

If you’ve struggled to get buy-in for cybersecurity investments, or demonstrate the value in your security programme, then cyber risk quantification can help you achieve those goals (and much more!).

Plus you can import your existing risk register to get started in no time at all.

Recycled lego is now a thing - awesome!

Now they need to start making "cloth" nappy (diaper) outers from recyclable LDPE instead of non-recyclable PUL that goes to landfill ... and bamboo etc inners instead of plastic microfibres

That would be awesome-r ...#zerowaste #closetheloop
