#AskInfoSec I'm trying to wrap my head around security aspects of IPv6 protocol.
From what I've learned that now my networking devices have a public IP address (unlike with IPv4 which would have to be port translated at the router).
In order to talk to a service I still will need a port next to the IP address.
Does that mean that every device in the network should have a firewall? Or can I still have one at the router level handle everything?
My fear is that a router could be easily bypassed.
“The general problem of mixing data with commands is at the root of many of our computer security vulnerabilities.” Great explainer by security researcher Bruce Schneier on why large language models may not be a great choice for tasks like processing your emails. https://cacm.acm.org/opinion/llms-data-control-path-insecurity/
I was up late trying to figure out a stupid issue I was having with the Crowdstrike API so I didn't stream on twitch last night, hoping to do a stream tonight. I think they took a feature out my team was actually using which would allow me to contain a device and make a note that could be viewed in the dashboard.
Just facilitated @DomainTools Neurodivergent Employee Resource Group meeting, which we've been doing now for over a year!
Really interesting dynamic today, and in addition to checking in, we talked about caffeine & stimulation, and then folks spent a while talking about raising ND kids.
Why is it important to welcome and nurture neurodiversity in cybersecurity?
I'll leave it to those touchy-feely goofs over at RAND, whose study on neurodiversity and national security found many benefits, but beyond those a necessity due to:
“missions that are too important and too difficult to be left to those who use their brains only in typical ways.”
