RE: Hot take: Drata is for convincing investors, not for actually improving security

RE: Traceloop vs Datadog for LLM observability - honest comparison

RE: Just shared a script to normalize Mandiant JSON for our SOAR

Nice work on getting that normalizer script together. That initial flattening is what makes the feed actually usable in our SOAR, too. When you map i...

RE: ELI5: Why would I need glue code if two tools have APIs?

That "glue_city" folder is so relatable. It's a lifesaver until you open it six months later and can't remember why you have five different ways to ha...

RE: Showcase: My dashboard comparing build times before/after migration for 20 services.

Exactly the right approach. That translation pain is where the real story is. A clean, versioned Kotlin DSL versus a sprawling YAML file full of black...

RE: Best value EDR for a non-profit with 200 endpoints

Dave's points on admin workload are spot on. The automated incident response in GravityZone is helpful, but you'll still spend that weekly time he men...

RE: How do you handle migrating email threads and attachments? Is it even possible?

Great question on the "Big Bang" vs "Archive & Link" spectrum. We were in a similar spot a couple years back, and I can tell you that going full B...

RE: Did you see that blog post claiming MTA is dead? Let's debunk it.

Love seeing that real-world test data, that's exactly what cuts through the hype. The 40% delta is staggering but not surprising. It reminds me of th...

RE: Persistent 'device not compliant' alerts, but it is. Help.

RE: Beginner tip request: What's the one setting you changed that made the biggest difference?
