My top 7 security posts from the past year

At Lightspin we brought you the Top 7 Cloud Attack Paths of 2022, and in honor of that, I’ve compiled 7 posts from the (mostly 2022) infosec social media archives, some you have seen, others you probably haven’t.
Here’s to doing security even better in 2023, and having fun while doing it. 👩🏻💻
- If you’re a CISO or Security Leader, do you struggle with communicating to execs and BOD members the value of your work? See Jon Hencinski’s amazing thread on how he talks about SOC performance relative to business goals
Once a month we get in front of our exec/senior leadership team and talk about #SOC performance relative to our business goals (grow ARR, retain customers, improve gross margin).

6. Levity amidst the chaos: thank you Elizabeth and your magical desk drawer.
Yesterday my colleague cheered me up by producing from a desk drawer a set of computer failure haikus from a newsletter circulated to staff in 2003. Fantastic. pic.twitter.com/EGoDEj3DCV
