That’s a dangerous misconception… (though widespread…)…
A more useful view: organizations have (intentional, to ensure attention) scopes of complexity and timespan of decision making
They are integration scopes. Scopes of responsibility, capability building, risk management, navigation and resilience.
They aren’t merely (resource and) information gates and conduits (though they may be used that way, as power moves)…

"IIms have made the cost of code cheaper but the cost of engineering has stayed the same"
The #CyberCentre published their long awaited update to #ITSG33

"Security embedded in the data itself -- not the network, not the perimeter. Protection that persists wherever data travels, whoever holds it.
This site covers concepts, hands-on labs, reference architectures, and operational scenarios for implementing #DataCentricSecurity (DCS) in coalition and defence environments using AWS."
I already loved Helix (best editor in the world), but yesterday @haeckerfelix showed me that Language Servers can go much further than I thought.
TIL that Helix and Typst are a match made in heaven, thanks to the Language Server tinymist.

"Our internal evaluations showed that Opus 4.6 generally had a near-0% success rate at autonomous #ExploitDevelopment But #MythosPreview is in a different league.
For example, Opus 4.6 turned the vulnerabilities it had found in Mozilla’s Firefox 147 JavaScript engine—all patched in Firefox 148—into JavaScript shell exploits only two times out of several hundred attempts. We re-ran this experiment as a benchmark for Mythos Preview, which developed working #exploits 181 times, and achieved register control on 29 more."
