I contacted VECT and asked them for their response to #CheckPoint's report. Their response was, um... short? :)

Is today a #FediHire Friday? Sure looks like it!

What I'm looking for: A senior level, individual contributor role supporting Windows, Active Directory, Certificates, PKI, Azure, and information security in a large enterprise. I like to solve weird problems and make computers run smoothly. I want to help others use technology effectively. Interested in relocating outside of the US.

My main focus the last few years has been rebuilding and modernizing a struggling certificate environment. That includes growing the team to meet our company needs, migrating our AD-integrated private PKI stack to a certificates-as-a-service vendor, getting a handle on our web PKI consumption, and making massive improvements to our certificate life-cycle management platform. I supported and advised our CyberSec and Desktop teams as we rolled out multi-factor authentication to 50,000 employees and contractors across the US. My understanding of deep computer fundamentals, talent for quickly grasping nuances of larger systems, and calmness in a crisis have contributed to quickly resolving major technology outages regardless of root cause.

This role hasn't been exclusively technical. A big part of my current job is building relationships with our developers to help them understand how certificates work, the responsible ways to use them, and what our relevant internal policies are. I've developed training and teaching material for junior and mid-level engineers featuring practical PKI concepts and our specific enterprise requirements. I've worked closely with fellow principal engineers and architects to design secure, resilient services. I've gotten to spend some time with upper management to both explain the immediate challenges we've had and the plans we can implement improve our infrastructure, reducing costs and outages.

While this position has been focused on certs and how to use them, I'm very comfortable considering a technical leadership role for Windows (server and desktop) administration and Active Directory. I also have some good experience with Azure and virtualization platforms, but they haven't been my daily focus for several years.

My current employer is direct retail for general public consumers. I've also worked in banking/finance, manufacturing, and architecture/civil engineering firms. The common thread is I love to help people leverage technology for their goals, to help them be more effective.

In my personnel/volunteer time I've done very similar: working backstage with lights/sounds/projections so live performers can shine, and volunteering at local repair clinic events to help my neighbors with technology that isn't meeting their expectations.

Right now I'm in Syracuse, New York (about five hours from NYC), but I'm open to relocation/migration anywhere in the world.

PMs open if you want to talk details. Boosts/retoots appreciated.

Hard to believe, but apparently some good stories can be told even without me. I guess I'm not the conditio sine qua nonfor a great conversation... a good guest is, and Sean Martin, CISSP can certainly hold the wheel.

I wasn't available, and I missed this one but I'm more than happy to help spread the word about yet another fantastic Brand Story told via Studio C60 / ITSPmagazine. This one's worth your attention.

Julian Hamood from TrustedTech joins Sean to talk about something most organizations are getting dangerously wrong: #AI readiness.

Here's the uncomfortable truth—AI doesn't clean up your mess. It makes it louder. Faster. More confident-sounding. And potentially more damaging.

Data scattered across personal drives, legacy servers, and random SharePoint sites? AI will find it.

Inconsistent permissions nobody remembers setting up? AI will exploit them. Architectural spaghetti connecting clouds, on-prem systems, and #SaaS platforms that were never meant to talk to each other? AI will inherit every flaw and present the results with the certainty of an oracle.

This conversation digs into what real readiness looks like—data classification, access controls, architectural clarity, and governance that doesn't get bypassed because someone in sales wanted a shiny new copilot.

Watch. Listen. Think before you deploy.

There will also be a private bar to purchase alcoholic drinks. Make sure you RSVP and bring your conference badge to get in! There's no better time to buy a ticket!

New Episode 🥳
BlackHat Europe 2025: New President Suzy Pallett on Community, Collaboration, and What Comes Next
I had the chance to speak with Suzy Pallett as she wrapped up her first #BlackHatEurope as the brand's new President. The event saw attendance grow more than 25 percent over last year.
Her perspective on #cybersecurity stands out. She called it "collaboration unlike any other industry I've ever been close to." In a world where knowledge is usually guarded, here it gets shared freely. Because the threats affect everyone, and defending together just makes sense.
The keynotes this year pushed some uncomfortable questions. Is ransomware actually stoppable? Are our compliance checklists creating vulnerabilities instead of preventing them? These are the conversations that matter—not just what tool to buy, but how we think about the problems in the first place.
And when I asked about her priorities for the year ahead, she kept coming back to the same word: community. Listening. Building a platform that belongs to the people who use it.
Events like this remind us why this industry, for all its stress and complexity, still feels different.
The cat-and-mouse game continues, but at least we're running together.

New Brand Story On ITSPmagazine!
Security that doesn’t start with the business is security that won’t scale.

Legal, #cyber, and operations used to work in silos—now they need to sit at the same table.

Bryan Marlatt from CyXcel joins Sean Martin, CISSP and Marco Ciappelli to share how their consulting model supports clients before, during, and after incidents by aligning legal strategy, cybersecurity readiness, and business goals. Whether advising hospitals, manufacturers, or multinational firms, their approach starts with people, not tools. Listen in to hear how they make security work for the business.

🎯 NOW PUBLISHING: On-Location Coverage from hashtag#BlackHat USA 2025!

We're back in the office and excited to start sharing all the conversations we captured on location in Las Vegas with our amazing sponsors and editorial coverage!

🔔 Follow ITSPmagazine, Sean Martin, CISSP, and Marco Ciappelli to get this content fresh as it drops!

Next up, we're honored to share this eye-opening conversation thanks to our friends at BLACKCLOAK 🙏

Chris and I went pretty deep in a topic that is really dear to me: the fast-growing overlap between physical and cyber threats, and why hashtag#AI is making attacks faster, more targeted, and more personal than ever. A MUST LISTEN! 🤔

From boardroom to living room ... A compromised personal device at home can cause just as much damage as a breached server at work.

That's why our latest episode tackles the often-missed layer of corporate security—protecting executives and their families outside the office. Chris Pierson joins Marco Ciappelli to explain how combining hashtag#technology, hashtag#privacy safeguards, and concierge-level service creates an always-on shield for high-profile leaders.

🎙️✨ Why #Community Could Be the Strongest Defense in #Cybersecurity
An ITSPmagazine Brand Story with Rob Clyde from ISACA | #RSAC2025

In the rush to cover #AI, #cryptography, and quantum threats, it’s easy to forget that the cybersecurity profession is—above all else—human. That’s exactly why this conversation with Rob Clyde, Board Director at ISACA, stood out during Sean Martin, CISSP and Marco Ciappelli's post-event reflections from #RSAC Conference 2025.

This Brand Story goes beyond the headlines, diving into the real issues affecting our industry: burnout, mental health, the shrinking sense of community, and the looming threat of quantum risk. Rob shares why ISACA continues to prioritize connection, education, and support at every stage of a professional’s journey.

🙌 A big thank you to ISACA for sponsoring our RSAC 2025 coverage. Your support helped make conversations like this possible.

The North Koreans and Russians have been busy, Insiders abound, and attacker tradecraft continues to evolve!

Catch all this and more in our latest wrap-up of the day's news:

🗞️ https://opalsec.io/daily-news-update-monday-april-1-2025-australia-melbourne/

There are a few noteworthy stories to get across - here's the TL;DR to get you up to speed:

🕵️ North Korean Infiltration: This is way bigger than many think. DPRK nationals are landing jobs inside global companies, gaining privileged access ("keys to the kingdom" level!). DTEX reports active investigations in 7% of their Fortune Global 2000 clients, and CrowdStrike notes nearly 40% of their NK-related IR cases involved insiders. They move fast post-hire, pivoting to supply chains and installing RATs disguised as onboarding. Watch out for highly anomalous login behaviour (like days-long sessions!). Rigorous remote hiring checks (camera on, resume checks, comms style) are crucial.

🎣 ClickFix Tactics by Lazarus: The infamous North Korean group is evolving its 'Contagious Interview' campaign (now dubbed 'ClickFake' by Sekoia). They're targeting crypto job seekers (shifting focus to non-tech roles too!) with fake website/document errors ('ClickFix'). These prompt users to run PowerShell/curl commands, dropping the 'GolangGhost' backdoor. Watch out for lures impersonating giants like Coinbase or Kraken. Sekoia has shared YARA rules – definitely worth checking out.

💻 WordPress MU-Plugin Abuse: Bad actors are getting stealthy by hiding malicious code in WordPress "Must-Use Plugins" (wp-content/mu-plugins/). These execute automatically on every page load without activation, making them hard to spot. Sucuri is seeing redirects to fake browser updates, webshell backdoors fetching code from GitHub, and JS hijackers replacing content or links. Keep those instances patched, clean up unused plugins/themes, and lock down admin accounts (MFA!).
