The brain is compromised of several neural networks. These networks, just as internet networks, traverse different regions of the brain. One network in particular that is important is the Default Mode Network (DMN). What's interesting about this network is that it is always active and processing, when your brain is not actively “doing” anything.

So when you're taking a walk, observing nature, or just people watching, this network is always running. The DMN, and many other neural networks, work on making predications based on information you have experienced in the past. That's what author, _____ presents in her book, _____. She asserts that the much of how we process our experiences is simply a set of instantaneous predictions. Sounds similar to machine learning huh?

In security when you run across a threat, you automatically make some predictions on this threat. But what will help differentiate you vs someone else are all the assumptions you make about that threat without all the information available.

Take for example an incident that says a piece of code in your CI/CD pipeline has been altered.

But when you start working with others, things can get hairy and you have to “grow up” and get some real software. Here is a list of PM software I found:

• Trello
• Asana
• Monday.com
• Wrike
• ClickUp
• Todoist
• Basecamp

Here's how to protect yourself: https://docs.cloudsecuritylabs.io/glossary#ff-domain-hijacking-protection-and-prevention

Okta

• On par for the most part with Auth0

• Very expensive

AWS Cognito

• Many features

• Much bigger learning curve

• Might be cheaper

WorkOS

• Does not price per user, only per connection

• New company / contender

OSSO

• Ruby based only

• Business Source License (Not OSS)

• YMMV

Of course you can always build a solution in-house using available libraries. Same with the admin panel. However, I’ve seen a lot of mistakes made using this method. Using a reputable 3rd party to manage your users/admin panel will ensure you are always delivering the best security and experience to them.

Her excuse for using the computer was to search on Ebay for a jenga piece.

“I'm good with technology,

and rich people are kind of...

not.

Generally extortion.”

Hilarious. Later in the show the lawyer asks him some “hypotheticals” on digging for information that she's struggling to uncover. (22:51) She asks him how long it would take to get something, he says 20 minutes.

This is all just knowing how to search online for things. Often times referred to as OSINT.

The interesting thing here is that a) this is all legal and b) lawyers should probably know how to do this.

Reminds me of my episode with @Infosecsherpa.

Spoiler Alert!

Well, in Episode 5 (S1), in the Pinky and Brain segment, they need to recover a phone call due to amnesia. So Brain came up with the idea of going to the NSA since they had a recording of all phone calls!

The episode was hilarious being in the field for awhile. They even featured Edward Snowden. It was a really enjoyable clip, highly recommend.

It's quite interesting in fact. Similar to the movies Inception, The Matrix, and recently a movie called Bliss.
