For some sites, things are a lot worse. See, for example, Jonathan Corbet's report[0]. 0 - https://social.kernel.org/notice/AqJkUigsjad3gQc664

Model Context Protocol. It is a way to give an LLM access to an API. There's a lot of hype about it right now, and, thus, a great many half-baked articles floating around. https://…

As of Friday, district court judge has ruled Ms Ozturk cannot be deported without the approval of the court. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/detained-tufts-student...

What’s the alternative? Some functional skills are rarer than others, some are simply harder to master than others, and some are both. To me it would be unfair to force equal pay f…

I’m not a doctor, but some quick googling indicates that trichinosis symptoms start after a few days of being exposed to the worms, while scurvy symptoms show up after a few months…

You like to make absolute statements like “always”, but I know of large organizations (Fortune 500) that use Proofpoint, but not Microsoft email security. And in endpoint, there ar…

That’s great. For you. Most businesses don’t have the ability or desire to build every single security tool they use in-house or use open source for everything. So they buy commerc…

That is a tiny part of what those companies do and was mentioned nowhere in that post. You’re responding to something that isn’t there.

I understand those (I haven’t used them) to primarily be about software composition analysis. Wiz does that, but they are mainly known for Cloud Security Posture Management (the “y…

This thread is talking about Wiz . The comment you responded to was about the fact that security company founders often have intelligence community backgrounds and/or come from adv…

> Microsoft is the Microsoft of the enterprise security market, more or less. They completely dominate email, largely dominate identity, have a plurality if not a majority on endpo…

Based on the exceptional level of ignorance and outright delusion in this thread, I'd rather not speculate. Easily 1/3 of the discussion is mired in conspiracy theories about Israe…

> The founders of CrowdStrike—George Kurtz, Dmitri Alperovitch, and Gregg Marston—do not have publicly documented personal connections to Israel. That's the first claim of yours I …

Perhaps I should have been clearer, but especially compared to the rest of the enterprise tech market, security is unusually fragmented. There is no Microsoft or Cisco of the secur…

The primary founder (Nir Zuk) is a Unit 8200 alumni, as are the founders of Checkpoint and a bunch of other cyber security companies. Nir Zuk is also a US citizen and went out of h…

Wiz does many things. VPN, by any definition, is not one of them.

I’m honestly not sure what your point, if any, is.

10% market share in security is huge. It is an extremely fragmented market, across almost all product segments.

Compliance and patch/vulnerability management teams are a major constituency for CSPM tools.

What an amazing coincidence!

Quick question: are you related to the bschmidt69 that is also a brand new account posting in this thread?

They built the core CSPM module themselves. And, yes, their customers really do exist and really do love the product. What they particularly liked was the alert fidelity - most oth…

Google isn’t buying Wiz for “security expertise”, they’re buying Wiz for a security product, in a growth area, that customers absolutely love. You’ve provided no evidence for the c…

If you have a problem with Unit 8200 alumni, you’re going to have a difficult time buying commercially available security products. Palo Alto Networks, Armis, Checkpoint, and many …

This is an absurd take. There’s nothing stopping anyone from building their own cloud security tools (many have), and unlike the Mafia, Wiz isn’t threatening anyone who doesn’t buy…
