The conversation around cybersecurity is abuzz with product pitches and promises of technological cure-alls, according to Exabeam CISO Tyler Farrar, who argues professionals need to reclaim the discussion.

    I dunno why people are hating on this article. It’s pretty clear that “blockchain for security” and “AI security” and whatnot are just hype with the added danger of distracting from actual security.

    Back to the root of it: security is a process, not a product. Good security means having sysadmins, network admins, developers, and non-technical employees doing things with infosec in mind.

    Mmmm…I think they hype should remain but on the side of the buyer.

    The ones implementing the security should remain focused and be extra diligent when deploying. It’s super annoying to sell security to companies if they don’t care, so keep that hype so these companies are ‘excited’ to have extra security.

    This feels like an ad written by ChatGPT.

    This guy wrote a dozen paragraphs and I’m not sure he actually said anything beyond ‘work hard guys, shits changing all the time’.
