Hot take: It's 2024. No one should be looking at comparative research on EPP to guide their endpoint security buying decisions. #EDR #XDR

Pleased to spend time with OpenText & OpenText Cybersecurity this week at #opentextworld Key Qs: Is this *really* a security company vs an information management co w/ security? Has the Micro Focus deal/integration been a force multiplier? OmdiaCyber

I really like how OpenText CEO/CTO Mark Barrenechea highlights the value of #AI in the enterprise in his opening keynote: "Every organization has two proprietary gifts: talent and data... AI transforms the value of both of those gifts." #OpenTextWorld

Barrenechea: "We’re going to continue to extoll that security is job one… built all the way into the software, and it needs to work across multicloud." #OpenTextWorld

Barrenechea on AI: “Agents are going to make decisions on your behalf. This is going to make us uneasy... would you let a piece of software do that? I think you will, and we’ll give you the tools to do it.” #OpenTextWorld

The full quote for accuracy (had to cut too much for the X word limit):

It is notable that security is the dominant theme in the OpenText multicloud integration strategy. #opentextworld

Barrenechea on OpenText security strategy: "We’re here to make security as important as anything we do... We think it’s no longer human vs machine, it’s machine vs machine." #OpenTextWorld

Barrenechea on integration: "With enterprise security you need to compose a solution. No company can do it all. All the (technology) partners in your ecosystem throw off security events, so you have to do it in a composable way, connecting disconnected islands." #OpenTextWorld

Barrenechea commits OpenText to masking all of its data and eliminating passwords in favor of biometric authentication over the next two years. #OpenTextWorld

Great quote from special guest Venus Williams, borrowed from Billie Jean King: “Pressure is a privilege… it means that you’re doing things and going places.” #opentextworld

New research from Principal Analyst Andrew Braunberg Andrew Braunberg ([email protected]) : Qualys looks to leapfrog exposure management players with focus on risk operation centers #proactivesecurity bit.ly/3Zy2cnl

Important new primary research: The app for your internet-connected litter box should NOT require your wifi network password for connectivity. (Manufacturers should ensure the device can connect directly and securely w/o an app. Software is always the weakest link!) #IoTsecurity

Super cute marketing/training effort coming up next week from Immersive "Christmas Tree-Son" Virtual Crisis Simulation: "Immerse yourself in a unique and engaging crisis scenario set against the backdrop of the North Pole." info.immersivelabs.com/christmas-tree…

New research from analysts Eric Parizo & Andrew Braunberg ([email protected]) : Omdia Universe Next-Generation SIEM 2024-25, a comparative evaluation of top #NGSIEM solutions: bit.ly/49Epyes

One of the scariest phishing attempts I’ve seen in a long time. Good that Google has agreed to fix the root vulnerability, but in the meantime, be careful.

Best wishes to everyone attending #RSAC 2025 next week. I will be focusing on my new role, but will miss many friends, colleagues, and the buzz of the event. I will *not* miss making lap after lap in and around Moscone on foot!

As #RSAC2025 begins, here's a great snapshot of what adversaries are now focused on, and in turn what CISOs should be pivoting to detect & prevent.

.RSAConference USA is officially bigger than ever: #RSAC2025 final attendance is just under 44k (43,500+), up from 41k attendees in 2024 & topping the previous all-time high of 42,500 in 2019. Also #RSAC2026 will be in calendar Q1, slated for March 23-26 in SF. #RSAC
