Who are these CISOs???
- last week, vuln and attack surface management is going to be crazy 12-18 months
- this week, well yea no I’m worried about AI spending… yea
In a single year, AI has rewritten the security priority list for CISOs.
Attackers are moving faster. Bain estimates AI compresses a typical cyberattack from about four weeks to about 18 hours, and models keep getting better at finding and exploiting weaknesses.
There's also more to protect, with employees shipping apps they couldn't have built a year ago and agents getting access to source code, documents, and production systems.
In a survey of 100 CISOs at companies with 1,000+ employees, all seven of the most-selected 2027 priorities involve AI.
The biggest jumps since 2026:
- Internal AI agent security (+28 pts)
- AI SOC (+26 pts)
- AI offensive security (+24 pts)
- AI code security (+23 pts)
- AI vulnerability remediation (+22 pts)
Last year's staples:
- Exposure & vulnerability management (-21 pts)
- SIEM / security data (-18 pts)
- Privileged access management (-18 pts)

keeping battery saver on my iPhone is very effective. Why is the regular mode not the battery saver mode
walking around Germany & the Meta glasses are very useful QoL upgrade.
real time translation has been a bit of miss:
- People breaking into partial English
- ambient discussions being picked up
- when I ask it to tell me what I should say in German, it speaks so quick that it’s useless
one other thing that’s been annoying is that when I am talking to the Meta AI -> AI is working on the answer -> my kid says something or I turn around to say something to wife / kids -> Meta AI takes that partial thing as new context
hi @UberEats, great use case for AI. I walk english, I talk English, I laugh English… your app can translate ALL of this with an LLM into English for me when I am travelling to a country that isn’t English-first
moving houses and so my home servers are down. Crazy 2 weeks.
🛡️We added Adobe Commerce vulnerability CVE-2026-48356 & Google Brotli vulnerability CVE-2026-111497 to our KEV Catalog. Visit go.dhs.gov/Z3Q & apply mitigations to protect your org. #Cybersecurity #InfoSec
wtf??? Someone please reverse engineer this
i find this pretty funny
the M4 iPad Pro with 8GB RAM actually shipped with 12GB RAM, which we found out through teardowns, Apple never acknowledged it and still only let you use 8GB RAM
fast forward to 2026, Apple releases a more powerful on device Apple Intelligence model that requires a minimum of 12GB RAM, which won't run on the base model M4 iPad Pro cause it has "8GB RAM", even if the underlying hardware had 12GB RAM
make it make sense Apple
so fucking annoyed with Railway right now. What a fucking disaster. And the Google Cloud Console is also such a pain to use.
4sq / Swarm will be missed.
Foursquare was acquired last month. The outcome was disappointing. It's taken me a while to write this, but I think I'm finally done grieving it. Here are some thoughts on our final years, an effort to honor the team who helped build & maintain FSQ's legacy, and my attempt to finally get some closure. teendrama.substack.com/p/som…
