Looking forward to finding out what Iβm going to say at @npub14jnp...jxyu on October 19th. Why is cybersecurity still so hard, and why do we keep seeing the same problems decades later? What can we do about it? Letβs figure it out together.
As you know, I've been talking about the #SecurityPovertyLine for over ten years now, and I'm always learning new things that add to my thinking on it. In my work with the National Academy of Sciences committee on cyber hard problems, I got to hear a presentation from [@fuzztech](

It seems that US law enforcement is also below the security poverty line. Really. They struggle with protecting their own infrastructure (which includes huge amounts of digital data that now has to be stored as evidence for, like, forever -- as innocent people are still being exonerated decades later), and they also struggle with being able to help victims of cyber-enabled crime.
This presentation (which starts at 4:20 in the video) is open to the public, and I believe it needs more attention, as this problem affects not only SMBs, but also the very fabric of society. Have a look:
