I've been thinking about #uncertainty from risk POV, & Doug Hubbard's concepts of calibrated estimators. My team does weekly calibrations for #estimating uncertainty. Listening to Choi-Greene talk about AI's certainty - confidently wrong, sometimes - I couldn't help but think that having calibrated, specific uncertainty on events, plans, projects, #technology would become MORE valuable in the future.

Last year #BSidesSeattle, #llm / #genai / #agentic AI looked like hype that might blow over. This year acceptance, realistic / grounded direct topics.
Emily Choi-Greene's applying AI to Threat Modeling was a great kick off session. Best part was genAI's confidence - & the value of uncertainty.

Brian Myers' talk "Waking Up to AI: An Adventure in Governance" was fabulous. I heard him @ #BsidesPDX Oct on #British #Library #ransomware, so knew it'd be good.
The realistic, slow walk through for companies caught off guard by #AI and #LLMs - and the supply chain issues it brings up - reinforced the idea that weaknesses and strengths can be amplified by AI; leaving me wondering where are the brakes (so we can go fast).

Excellent #BSidesSeattle #BSidesSEA 2026. Unpacking a few thoughts:

Super enjoyed "The Security Policy Rollout Survival Guide" by Maya Kaczorowski. Great talk! Wish it had been a 1 hour. She may mean something else but this is my take home:
1) who set the policy is who should enforce
2) a pilot project is actually a #decision, not #research. Treat it as such
These may not be #hot #new #information to others, but it really resonated with me. Thank you Maya! Great talk. -

Apparently, I made all the arrangements to attend #BSidesSeattle except for buying the tickets. Bummed! But I have a lot of work to do today anyway. See y'all next year!

At the end of her talk, Emily Choi Greene mentions running an ai tm twice, one as low temp one at high, and using the high temp run to drive a conversation about possibilities. #bsidesseattle

Tomorrow at 1PM at BSidesSeattle, come see:
Cloud Misconfigurations: Oh look something fluffy, poke poke poke
(also known as: Permission Granted: How Misconfiguration Became the Breach)Yes, it starts fluffy.
No, it does not stay fluffy.I’ll talk about:
- Why most cloud “breaches” don’t require elite attackers
- The Top 10 Ways We Grant Permission
- The Toxic Trilogy in the wild
- And how Policy as Code turns “please don’t” into “not allowed”If you’ve ever opened a security group “just temporarily”…
This talk is about you!!1PM. Post-lunch. Bring your coffee. @sashatheflamingo will bring the tequila!!

PWN #security friends. It's that time of year again, when the weather gets cozy and BSides Seattle asks you for your talk proposals.
CFP closes Nov 21st. Give us something better to do over thanksgiving than listen to Uncle Marvin go on about ancient aliens.

“At the state agency, we were sourcing our spare parts from eBay, because that’s how old the hardware is” — I remember the same thing at a bank you’ve used: ebaying parts for the Pyramid mainframe.
