3 recent deals in MDR: Sophos-Secureworks, Cybereason-Trustwave, Arctic Wolf-Cylance, all motivated by the impact of MDR from an XDR tech vendor, in a market growing 2x broader MSS. The catch: these deals are opportunistic. How will they fare?

The innovators among us should enjoy this aspect of the season: one of the most familiar musical sounds this time of year was the result of Tchaikovsky’s enthusiasm for a new invention: the celesta. You’ve heard it, but may not know the history. Article (regwall): www.nytimes.com/2024/12/03/a...

“Disruptive” is the least one could say about this approach to threat detection when offered this way by a major cloud provider.

Hugely provocative on a number of fronts. We’ll be digging into this and more this week at #reInvent.

It’s easy sometimes to let the AI cynicism flow through you …then you get something like this from blueskyroast.com. Probably my favorite characterization of my social persona ever.

I asked ChatGPT to create a picture of my office based on what it knew about me.

It’s remarkably accurate! It’s as if it were standing RIGHT HERE!

Favorite little-known thing about Paris (just returned): St Sulpice church: Organ concert just about every Sunday at 16h00.

Some of the most gifted virtuosos perform on an instrument that made history in the art of organ music and remains stunning to this day. And it’s free.
