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://www.anthropic.com/news/model-conte

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 for very unequal work.

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 of vitamin C deficiency[0]. I’m pretty sure I - as an ignor

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 are shops that license defender as part of an EA, but don’t us

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 commercial tools. Which are audited by third parties to give the co

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 “you have an exposed S3 bucket”, “you have a workload with no

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 adversary states (from a US/European perspective.)

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 Israel, and another 10 - 20% are people who's comm

> 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 faield to verify so I won't bother with the res

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 security market in the way those companies dominate the desktop

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 his way to base PANW in the US, including their hardware man

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.

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 other cloud security vendors back when Wiz started required a

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 conspiracy theory that google is buying Wiz to siphon up a bu

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 others were either founded by or otherwise have former 8200

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 their service. I’m also not aware of any government agency

It is a very legitimate tool. It identifies misconfigurations and vulnerabilities in cloud deployments. Anything from a container with a known-vulnerable package in the manifest to a workload with improper firewall rules.

Most of my telecom experiences were pretty boring. It largely consisted of handling digital circuits for modem banks, then later setting up a very small CLEC and building small PBX systems out of open source software in the early 2000s, whi

That's done sometimes in central offices, although for analog lines a lineman's handset was the more common tool. Digital test systems (I don't know what they use now; back then the venerable T-BERD 224 was the standard tool)

Out of curiosity, are you posting a bunch of stuff you've previously written to github? It looks like, over the past two weeks, you've published to your github: * today: a fast traceroute utility * four days ago: a string search
