Looks like Corporate #infosec has made it's choice.

#RSAC is filled with talks embracing AI and making it "secure".

And they invited and encouraged the Trump regime to spread its disinformation - fully sanctioned and encouraged by the conference leadership(and by conference attendees who laughed at the regime's jokes and lies and issued no challenges or stands during the talk).

With the ostracization of #ChrisKrebs by industry and the full embrace of Kristi Noem as a speaker, this was the moment that infosec made its bed.

Y'all lie in it now.

This is damning.

Kevin Collier, journalist from NBC News states:

"I will say [Kristi Noem] has come out swinging, insisting her vision of CISA will improve [DHS] and falsely describing its previous work as being substantially devoted to policing misinfo.

The crowd has been relatively into it. Tepidly bit on her laugh lines. No boos, no heckling. This is a corporate crowd, not Def Con, but I would have not been surprised to have seen some disruption."

@tinker i don't know if defcon would react differently

last year was so full of feds and cops giving presentations that i broke my brain and i decided i won't be going back

i really think 2010 black hat having Michael Hayden was a turning point. I remember the room being pretty evenly split between boos and fanboys. i think the fed fanboys have gained ground at blackhat and defcon now

@thedarktangent @rdp @tinker That may be true but I do have to agree that the fed stink is getting a little too strong. We need more pure hacker/punk/goth energy.

@kluthulhu @rdp @tinker If you think they are equivalent then 🤷‍♂️ You'll have to wait for the speakers to be announced.
