Today it is Mythos. Tomorrow it will be something else.

The pattern stayvendorlockin #securitystrategy #appsec #operationalresiliencempanies need urgency to position themselves.

Everyone wants to attach themselves to the next big wave and present themselves as the answer.

Real organizational readiness is not about pushing AI into every layer because the current panic cycle says so. The practical test for any change is much simpler:

• Does it strengthen existing tools and workflows?

• Does it preserve model and vendor optionality?

• Does it reduce backlog and repetitive operational drag?

• Does it reduce attack surface by removing software, access, and exposure you do not need?

• Does it reinforce the boring fundamentals like inventory, patching, least privilege, segmentation, and recovery?

Without those checks, you are mostly just trading places. One dependency gets swapped for another. One vendor stack gets replaced by another. One kind of complexity becomes another. Very little materially improves.

Most of the time, we just kick the ball a few months further down the road and call it progress.

I wrote about many of these ideas in my pragmatic guide:

Product Warning: do *not* buy #ebikes with #bosch motors/controllers. they are locked-down by some #evil #proprietary shit and try to #vendorlockin you into their shitty products. the motors are good, but the apps, the navigation, are horrible, and #interoperability with devices and apps of other vendors is actively hindered.

learn from my mistake, don't repeat it.

pls discuss products/vendors that are open and interoperable in comments below.

Nothing like an honest review from the community to kick off the weekend. 🤗

The NHS owns the data. Palantir owns the tooling. Parliament is debating the NHS contract today in Westminster Hall. Meanwhile the Isle of Man is running its own health "living lab" -- 16 companies from 25 countries, working directly with Manx Care, right now. The DPIA question hasn't been publicly answered. The window is short.
