"The Devil Went Down To Georgia" says that the Devil was "in a bind because he was way behind and he was willing to make a deal", suggesting that Satan Himself - note that the song specifies "the Devil", not "a devil" - has monthly quotas and faces consequences for not meeting those quotas.

Mastodon, I need your help! As more European countries and orgs look to ditch US technology and move to sovereign or open source alternatives, I'm trying to track these efforts.

So far, I've found more than half a dozen government agencies, cities, orgs, that are embracing digital sovereignty but want to hear about other examples that I've missed. Who else should I be adding to this?

Yet another day in the life of a security consultant.

COO (and vCISO at ‘Client’): We should do NIST CSF assessments. Make it so.
Me and Team: Got it! Here we go, who will be the first client?
COO: We’ll be the first client!
Me: Great!
Me: - Reminder: No wrong answers! The whole point is to see what you have in place when compared to the various domains and controls/requirements identified by NIST.
COO: WOAH WOAH WOAH this is NOT what I wanted. This scope is too broad! We gotta pare this down.
Me: …
