That’s really interesting. What does your routine look like?

About the fines, there’s a second option: make them more frequent, so there’s less chance on getting away with (minor) transgressions. This would require well staffed regulatory bo…

To provide some additional context to OP. In the CRA, there’s (among others): - reporting of actively exploited vulns or severe incidents to a national cert - reporting obligation …

As a hobby project, I started a market research/overview of the Belgian cybersecurity ecosystem [1]. This required me to write a lot more than before, although I've always enjoyed …

I hitchhiked a bit during my college days, so I feel a moral obligation to pick up others if I can. Doesn’t seem to happen as often as it used though. Worst that happened to me was…

How can someone with a background in computer science learn enough about energy and electrical grids to make a relatively correct model/simulation of the energy production, distrib…

It’s pretty much about stretching yourself but not overstretching. The classics might be the latter for a teenager. I guess it depends on the person.

Not the OP, but as an avid note taker (I prefer A4 sheets), I often have trouble to keep my notes organised (spread over office, home,…). That is the main reason I’m thinking about…

Another +1 from me. Also used Hatchbox in another project (startup w customers), it definitely was worth the money. For fun and giggles: this is what happened when I wanted to quic…

Agree, it’s the only way for us to test our assumptions. I wonder how well the experimentation approach will work in this case though, as: 1. Effects might be subtle and outside of…

We don’t know what the second and third order effects would be. We can’t even correctly predict what the weather will be 3 days in advance. No chance that we can predict what the c…

Nice feedback loop you have there! (re last point). If you can point to the actual proven ‘indicators of risk’ instead of flagging every potential issue onder the sun, everyone is …

Thanks balgan! * Do you know if there are any follow up meetings planned? Did they discuss some kind of process? * what were the main concerns discussed? * interesting to find out …

I’m in the same boat. Can’t wait until the nights stabilise in a couple of months and I get my mind and my good mood back (those are the main symptoms for me).

Many big corps do have a tiered process (depending on perceived risk). A trick is to get yourself classified in the lowest possible tier. Teaching your salespersons to help their c…

Yep! The article does a great job of cutting through all the noise. Highlighting here because it is relevant: certification is about sales. I’d only do it once you either: 1) you s…

Seems like there are a couple of tech stack posts on HN lately and I certainly enjoy reading them. But as a techie, the magic to me no longer lies in the product building, but in t…

That's very interesting! What sectors were those buyers in? I've mostly worked with fortune 5000 and financial institutions. It doesn't surprise me in the least that you didn't get…

I've done more than my fair share of vendor due diligences (and audits, action plans and contract reviews,..) To me this is a non-issue, because customers almost always ask for typ…

First thing I noticed too. I’m afraid you’re now the security expert.. ;)

OP mentioned he's in a business owner role. He's probably talking to customers often, possibly scoping projects or features. In these cases, having notes will prevent scope creep a…

This book (although a bit older already) attempts to give an overview of the impact of a lot of stuff: https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Bad-are-Bananas-Everything/dp/1...
